Comic book genius David S. Goyer (he wrote the "Blade" trilogy and "Batman Begins") will be dusting off his computer and getting busy on Marvel’s big-screen rendition of "Thor" — in addition to the work he’s already done on "Captain America" and "The Flash."

From Newsarama, by way of ComingSoon.net: "It was previously announced that the legendary Norse Thunder deity would hammer his way to the big screen with the help of screenwriter Mark Protosevich ("Poseidon," "The Cell"). It is unclear if Goyer is rewriting Protosevich’s script or starting from scratch.

Thor is part of Marvel’s independent production slate of feature films expected to be financed with Marvel’s $525 million revolving film financing facility and distributed under the company’s overall distribution arrangement with Paramount Pictures."
