Kenneth Branagh up for 'Thor' sequel

Thor director Kenneth Branagh has expressed interest in making a sequel to the comic book adaptation.

Speaking to MTV, the helmer described the prospect of working on a follow-up as a "lovely challenge", but insisted that his return to the director's chair will be dictated by fan reaction.

"You know as well as I do, there's a passionate fan base out there that will say what they think,"
he said. "People will vote with their feet. And because it's such a big chunk of change for everybody involved, I think that's going to have a crucial, crucial impact.

"It would be a lovely challenge and problem to have should we do a second one," he added. "When I first got involved with this, I was so thrilled. The first big, really exciting moment when I started really going through the comic books was all the descriptions of powers.

"I loved it. Amazing. People's body weights, how tall they were, what they could do. All of that kind of stuff. There's a vast amount of that from the Thor universe that I'd like to see."

Last month, Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige confirmed that sequels to both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger are being lined up for a post-Avengers release.

Thor is out now in cinemas.
