Patty Jenkins (Monster) is stepping down as director for Thor 2. Jenkins, who took over the reigns of the franchise when Kenneth Branagh decided that he wouldn't return for the sequel, is reportedly leaving over creative differences. Apparently the differences weren't such that her departure is on negative terms, as Deadline is reporting that Jenkins will likely be directing another of Marvel's films, just not a sequel.

Marvel is expected to announce a replacement for Jenkins shortly, as they have little time to spare if Thor 2 is to make it's schedule release date of November 15, 2013.
