Thor is a 2011 film and the fourth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase One. It was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was directed by Kenneth Branagh, from a screenplay written by Ashley Edward Miller & Zack Stentz and Don Payne, based on a story by Mark Protosevich and J. Michael Straczynski. It was followed by Thor: The Dark World in 2013, with much of the same cast, but with a different director and writers.
