Matthew Vaughn, helmer of Layer Cake and the just-released Neil Gaiman adaptation Stardust (and Bryan Singer's initial replacement on X3, until the insane studio politics that gave us... what we got [to put it kindly]... drove him off), will direct from a script by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend, Poseidon, The Cell... this part's somewhat worrisome). Here's hoping it turns out awesome, Thor has always been my favorite comic character.
