…With his latest film Murder on the Orient Express losing out to Thor: Ragnarok at the U.S. box office last weekend, director Kenneth Branagh took a moment to reflect on his own Thor movie, discussing the pressures that it faced back in 2011: “Remember, there were only two pictures in the Marvel Universe. Iron Man, genius, the first one. Hulk hadn’t worked as they’d hoped. And then number three, it was sink or swim before Captain America and then suddenly, oh, it was fine after that. No question that Kevin Feige used to say to me, ‘This is the single most difficult tonal challenge for us, to make this movie work in itself and fit into this larger universe.’ In fact, I think Thor, and in Chris Hemsworth’s performance, becomes an absolutely integral part…”
