Disney announced today that July 26, 2013 will be the expected release date for Thor 2. Chris Hemsworth is reportedly on board for the sequel, but Kenneth Branagh will not be returning as director. Branagh will most likely be involved in some “producing capacity” according to Deadline.

The summer of 2013 will be a busy summer for Marvel Studios with Iron Man 3 already scheduled for May 3rd.
