Brian Michael Bendis: Thor Script is "Very, Very Good"

The critically acclaimed comic book writer shares his thoughts on Thor and how the upcoming Marvel movies will intertwine with each other.
At the Baltimore Comic-Con's 'Marvel: Your Universe' panel, the first question directed to the group asked how much the upcoming Marvel movies would link up with each other. Bendis recapped that "Thor" would be coming out first in May 2011, with "The First Avenger: Captain America" movie hitting theaters the following June or July. He also confirmed again that all of the movies would have certain threads that run through for those excited to see connections.

"I'm Thor. A Jewy Thor," Bendis said when asked about casting for the flicks. On more of a serious note, the "New Avengers" writer added, "I was reading the new script just last night. Very, very good."

Thats funny, I always saw him more as a Jewy Luke Cage.

Classic Thor all the way!!!

Sounds good @ Josh!

I'm simply hoping he isn't over hyping this film's script and when the time comes, it's a major fail.
Whispers68 - 10/12/2009, 4:28 PM
Awesome! It's a good sign that Bendis is happy with it.
Bamf7 - 10/12/2009, 4:28 PM
LEEE@ Agreed :P

a jewy thor, ah I love Bendis. If he likes the script it must be good.
thwhtGuardian - 10/12/2009, 4:46 PM
The Thor script better be damn good! He's an extremely tricky character to adapt into film, it's up to the script and director to ensure he makes the transition safely.

I have plenty of faith in Branagh as the director, so the script is really the thing that will hold the movie together for me. This is a great sign that the script will do so!

I dont know Tyler..Great director and script yes but im starting to worry that Hemsworth doesnt have the chops next to O'Donnel..lmfao ;D
teabag - 10/12/2009, 5:01 PM

teabag - 10/12/2009, 5:14 PM
Guys, come on now - dont you realise that they're going to have to re-cast Thor and Iron Man now!? Downey Jr and Hemsworth cant even compete with O'Donnells great acting skill! I hear that Clooney will be Cap and Arnie's gonna be playing Thor - thats what I call an Avengers movie! ;D
joshw24 - 10/12/2009, 5:28 PM
Don't forget Jim Carrey will be the Hulk now Josh!

teabag - 10/12/2009, 6:54 PM
Yeah, we should just start putting random ideas as news, and claim they're from legit sources, meanwhile no article related is found on the source :)
InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/12/2009, 6:55 PM
I always thought Thor was a Catholic not a Jew.
Number21 - 10/12/2009, 9:42 PM
they are farther along with these movies than we think.
SHHH - 10/12/2009, 9:53 PM
"hi, i'm brian michael bendis, i've been shaping the entire marvel universe for about 6 years now. i'm pretty much marvel's most important writer right now. i'm just here to say, thor is going to suck."

of course he says it's a good script! but i can't wait, i hope this is better than iron man was!!!!
CorndogBurglar - 10/12/2009, 10:04 PM

Torque - 10/12/2009, 10:06 PM

DarthMulder - 10/12/2009, 10:08 PM

By the way, Thor is of the Nordic Jews! lol
DDD - 10/13/2009, 12:44 AM
What happened to my fav asshole and the cap article ? :P
teabag - 10/13/2009, 6:36 AM
Did i just miss something??? When was Rosie O'Donnell cast as Captain America???
Shaman - 10/13/2009, 6:45 AM
*sigh*

Proclaiming the script is awesome is as valuable as a glass of whore spit.

Can they make the translation to screen and make it awesome.

Remember that other movie they claimed the script to be awesome and everyone was pissed, because it sucked? Remember that one?
TheJester - 10/13/2009, 7:02 AM
I hopeth we see the Classic Thor, with his Olde English style of speech. It always gave him a more noble air, more like a god should talk. Look, Thor talking like Snoop Dogg or like "wuuddup G?" or something just would NOT sound in character. I'm also hoping that we get to see him in his classic uniform. Again, very dignified and something a god would wear.

DDD- I'm with ya on that! The Avengers are my favorite hero team, and I want this to be as close to perfect as we can get. A good Thor movie will be a step in the right direction.
comicb00kguy - 10/13/2009, 7:40 AM
I definitely dont want a lot of the shakespearean talk...it'll just end up being annoying as hell!

I like Bendis as a writer but I find that most of his stuff ends up being pretty disappointing (House of M and Secret Invasion especially) The results always end up being quite good but what he does to get there I always find a little underwhelming! I would much prefer if Mark millar were in charge of all of Marvel big "events!
joshw24 - 10/13/2009, 9:42 AM
This movie could be great or very very bad. I hope for the ladder.
Spock - 10/13/2009, 10:35 AM
@ josh

thats funny, because the way thor talks is one of the reasons i like him so much. it cracks me up!
CorndogBurglar - 10/13/2009, 11:14 AM
CD@ hell yeah i love Thor's speach but then ive loved the comics since the 70's run :)
teabag - 10/13/2009, 11:29 AM
@ tea

i never really used to read thor until recently. i always loved him in the avengers though!
CorndogBurglar - 10/13/2009, 1:44 PM
CD@ Ya missing out..i started issue 117 and never looked back....although i lost touch and interst with the character in the late 90's....i felt they lost what was special about him :)
teabag - 10/13/2009, 4:57 PM
The script being good isn't the problem. It's putting that into action, and trying to make it work on screen
StrangemannX09 - 10/13/2009, 7:26 PM
i really hope they find a place to fit this in somewhere...

JerzeyHellboy - 10/14/2009, 4:34 PM
When you are talking Kenneth Branagh directing this film, that's all I need to know. He will inject some epic quality into this movie and we will all walk out of the theater awed that a comic book movie has just taken the entire genre one step beyond incredible.

This will be the best comic book film to date, and I am hoping that it will challenge later directors to step up their own games to be able to match the gold standard.
