An article at The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Matthew Vaughn is no longer directing Thor.

“Thor” will be released about six weeks after “Iron Man 2,” and Marvel is waiting for a script polish from scribe Mark Protosevich (”I Am Legend”). Matthew Vaughn no longer is attached to direct the project because his holding deal expired December.

“It’s very much a Marvel superhero story but against the backdrop of nothing you’ve seen before,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in describing “Thor” as a period fantasy in the vein of “The Lord of the Rings.”

I find this odd, if his deal expired in December why was he talking about Thor as recently as last March?

Matthew Vaughn signed on to direct Thor in August 2007. His directing credits include Stardust and Layer Cake.
