When Kenneth Branagh was pitching himself to direct the first "Thor" movie in 2008, he envisioned a story with gravitas. After spending years forging a reputation as a skilled adaptor of William Shakespeare's works, writing, directing, and starring in both 1989's "Henry V" and 1996's "Hamlet," he saw plenty of Shakespearean qualities in the story of the God of Thunder: generations-old mythology, a hero who must learn to be a leader, and plenty of family turmoil.
