Thor 2 May Have Found Its Director
Fri, August 5, 2011 
Television director Brian Kirk, responsible for helming episodes of Boardwalk Empire, Dexter and Game of Thrones, is in talks to direct Marvel's Thor 2, reports Variety.
The trades say his work covering both the fantasy genre and large ensembles was the clincher. Makes sense. Name-drop Game of Thrones to fandom now and they nerdgasm. Saying you're getting the guy who had a hand in its success and God only knows how they'd react then. Same rational as getting Joe Johnston to direct Captain America and Joss Whedon on The Avengers. I get that, and tip my fedora to Marvel for continuing to play the nerd-cred card.
Of course, this is Marvel we're talking about and everyone knows of their notoriety for being tight-asses. Kirk being cheap was probably a big factor too.

Don't know his work myself. But I wish the guy best of luck if he takes the job.
