Alan Taylor is thought to be taking the director's chair for Thor 2.
The Game of Thrones director is believed to have been offered a deal for the role, beating out Daniel Minahan, according to Deadline.
Minahan has also directed three episodes of the HBO fantasy drama, in addition to series such as True Blood and The Good Wife.
Taylor - who has also directed episodes of Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men and the pilot of The Playboy Club - was first linked with the vacancy earlier this month.
Monster director Jenkins originally signed on to take charge of Thor 2 in September, but left the project earlier this month due to "creative differences" with the studio.
Kenneth Branagh, who directed the first Thor movie, turned down the sequel due to a scheduling conflict.
Thor 2 is due to be released on November 15, 2013 and will see Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston reprising their roles from the first movie.
