It's Official, Thor and Captain America Will Be In 3-D

It's no major surprise but the LA Times has announced that the upcoming Thor and Captain America movies will be in 3-D. The director of each both gave their thoughts on using the 3-D technology.
 
Thor director, Kenneth Branagh felt 3-D gave his film a new depth, in terms of storytelling. 

We came to feel that in our case 3-D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience.

It took some getting used to but Branagh saw advantages once he got used to it. He even changed his approach to the movie in some scenes in order to maximize the 3-D benefits. 
 
Captain America: The First Avengers director, Joe Johnston felt a little differently.

I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky. A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to ... that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it's done bad, it can make you carsick.

After doing a one day test shooting in 3-D and then converting, Johnston sees it as a new and exciting challenge.
Both films will use 2-D for the principal photography with a large amount of special effects executed in 3-D. We can expect to hear more about the Marvel films on Saturday, July 24, at San Diego Comic-Con.
