Chris Hemsworth will of course be back as Thor. One interesting tidbit is that director Kenneth Branagh will not return to direct, but will instead stay on as a producer. Branagh had an option to return as director, but he and Marvel Studios decided on a mutual split.

| You dare give me, Thor, a new director? |
Branagh not being in the directors chair isn't nearly as dramatic if say, Christopher Nolan decided not to direct The Dark Knight Rises. He did a good job of introducing Thor to the big screen, but if Marvel studios wants a slightly different approach, I'm not upset about that.
Thor was a great movie that I enjoyed back in May as it began the summer superhero season, but it wasn't so great that I think it's above a different set of eyes. Now that the foundation has been laid out, perhaps a new view from the directors chair will make it even better.
Of course we'll next see Hemsworth in the summer of 2012 reprising his role as Thor in The Avengers. And just in case you didn't know Tom Hiddleston, who played Loki in Thor, will reprise that role as the bad guy in The Avengers.
