HBO stalwart Alan Taylor, director of The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men and Game Of Thrones, has officially signed on as helmsman for Thor 2, which is due for release 15 November 2013.
Taylor joins writer and producer Don Payne who worked on the first film, as well as The Simpsons and less prestigious superhero fodder Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
First though, we’ll see how Chris Hemsworth’s Thor fares in June 2012’s massive, Joss Whedon-driven team-up, The Avengers.
