“Thor: Ragnarok” To Get A New Screenwriter

FB-thor-17-7ded6ComicBookResources.com is reporting that screenwriter Stephany Folsom has been hired to work on the script for Marvel Studios’upcoming Thor: Ragnarok. The story was first reported Wednesday by The Hollywood Reporter. Comics writers and Marvel adaptation veterans Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle worked on a previous version of the script. Taika Waititi retmains on board as director.

Folsom doesn’t have a produced feature film yet on her resume, but her script 1969: A Space Odyssey or How Kubrick Learned to Stop Worrying and Land on the Moon landed on the 2013 Black List, the annual survey recognizing acclaimed unproduced screenplays.
