ProductionWeekly used its Twitter account to announce that Thor was heading in front of the cameras early next year.
Filming on Marvel's Thor is scheduled to begin in LA mid-January, then move to Santa Fe, New Mexico from March till late-April.
Ending the shoot in late April gives Kenneth Branagh and company a full year of post-production to make sure Thor is ready for its current May 20, 2011, release date. (Originally, it was set for a July 16, 2010 release.)
Thor follows the god of thunder as he is banished to Earth when his reckless behavior re-ignites an ancient war. Once on Earth, he must learn the true meaning of a hero as he fights the dark forces of Asgard that have invaded his new planet. Thor, along with Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The First Avenger will help set the table for Marvel's 2011 production, The Avengers.
