Back in September it was announced that Monster director Patty Jenkins would helm Marvel’s Thor 2. Today it was reported that the director is leaving the project over creative differences.
It’s being reported that Marvel Studios are talking with agencies as they begin the process of finding a new director. According to Deadline, “she’ll probably end up working on one of these superhero films, but perhaps not on a sequel.”
Marvel Studios will have to move fast in order to make their November 15, 2013 release.
News of Patty Jenkins’ exit from Thor 2 found many people turning to Twitter to vent their feelings on the news:
