It has been quite a while since we've heard any updates on Marvel's Thor movie since Stardust director Matthew Vaughn pitched his $300 million script. You take that big of a budget and combine it with an unknown star, which Vaughn wants, and it's obvious that this is stuck. He confirms today with Empire that they're "in a holding pattern at the moment." Unfortunately beyond that there isn't much more of an update, but Vaughn does talk about his expectations and the script.

"Well, the main role is going to be played by someone totally unknown," he said. "It can't be a star, it's got to be someone totally unknown."

"I think you have to respect that it is comic book and silly to be frank, so you have to combine that with a modern style and hopefully come up with something fresh. I think we can come up with something special."

300 million is way too much money to risk on a superhero movie with a character that is IMO not very interesting.
