I hope it's good. The title sort of invites high expectations.

Wasn't it pushed back to November?

Not familiar with anything she's done, which I can't decide is good or bad. I hope she does a good job, but given the quality of writing in Marvel's recent movies, I doubt it.

Hard to feel any excitement over this news. She doesn't even have an IMDb page.

The first two movies killed my interest in a third until something changes.

@thespoiler: nor am I. Hopefully she writes something action packed and not flowery like Ang Lee with hulk

THOR was great. THE DARK WORLD was my least favorite MCU movie to date.

They should pick a really good Thor story and copy it word for word. That way they cant screw it up.

She hasn't had a script turned into a flick yet, but she's got a good track record of turning out real hot properties that get snatched up. She could be a good choice. Certainly a big break for her.

Maybe they moved it to July to avoid the Justice League movie.

I don't get it. Marvel would strike gold if they just did a two part Thor movie based of the god bomb arc. And for that, they could use the Harry Potter and lord of the rings directors. While getting guidance counseling from the writer.

Not sure what to expect here. I thought Thor 1 was ok. I actually enjoyed Thor 2 better. To me it's just a conclusion to this Trilogy. I'd Kinda like for Thor to wear his helmet this time around. That's my biggest complaint on the Thor movies.

Hopefully, the movie turns out better than Thor 2. The sequel was a disappointment.
