'Monster' director Jenkins takes on 'Thor 2'

Hollywood has signed up its first female director for a major superhero movie. Marvel Studios announced Thursday that Patty Jenkins will direct "Thor 2," the sequel to last summer's hit that is due in theaters Nov. 15, 2013.

Senh: Studios are continuing the trend of letting indie directors take the helm on comic book movies. It's been working out pretty well. The films tend to be well-reviewed. I guess the nice thing with indie directors is that they tend to bring in good actors, and they focus on the story and the characters rather than the spectacle.
