Title: Thor
Who's involved: Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk in J.J. Abram's Star Trek), Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins and Kat Dennings, with Kenneth Branagh directing. Ashley Miller (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fringe) wrote the script.
What it is: Adaptation of the Marvel comic
Notes: Branagh is better known for directing Shakespeare than anything else, so a superhero film doesn't seem like an immediate match. But Thor does have Shakespearean overtones, so we don't see why this shouldn't work out well. Plus, the trailer looked very promising.
