THOR 2 will be released in Summer 2013

Thor 2 could be an epic telling of Ragnarok featuring the death of Odin in battle against Surtur and the Odin-force passing to Thor at the end of the film.

From Wiki:

The final occasion involves a massive battle against arch-foe Surtur on Earth, with Odin apparently dying once and for all, as the Odin Force—the source of Odin's power—migrates to his son, Thor. As Thor eventually destroys the Loom of Fates and stops Asgard from perpetuating Ragnarok—which ends the entire Norse pantheon and Asgard itself—Thor believes Odin may be dead permanently. The Odinforce appears to him in humanoid form and says that this was Odin's plan all along: that he break the cycle.

I speculate that I would be excited to see such a film.

Ah, they've set the writer of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer for this.

Thor II: Rise of the Super-powered Girlfriend?

Seriously, Don Payne was the writer on set for Thor and has been working on story ideas for the sequel since prior to the first movie's release, so this is faux news.

Don Payne? Yikes. I hope more writers come on-board and they likely will.

Honestly while I enjoyed the movie a great deal, I don't think there was anything too extraordinary about Branaugh's directing.

He was one of the writers of the first film, so this isn't a newcomer.

Huh, looking over his filmography, he's apparently a longtime writer/producer of The Simpsons.

Yeah. However, I don't think much of any of his contributions made it to the final product. From what I've heard, it was the collaborative efforts of Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz that ended up as the bulk of the film.
