Patty Jenkins, Are You Going To Be the First Female Director of a Marvel Studios Movie?

I can’t say, but yes. I can’t say anything definitive, but it’s exciting to be in talks with them about it… I think Marvel is really ballsy to think outside the box, and I think everyone they’ve talked to and hired has been interesting. — Patty Jenkins, probable director of Thor 2, to Vulture.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what it sounds like in the movie industry when things are for realz. Jenkins also talked about how she’s prepping for the job by talking about what she’s reading, sort of.

“Right now, I’m reading all of … I can’t say.”

Frankly, this just might be a very savvy estimation of the rumor generating powers of fans: don’t tell us what you’re reading, and we can’t make plot speculation.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
