Aronofsky, who is the man behind the brooding films “Black Swan” and “Requiem for a Dream,” is known to be one of the most unconventional directors in Hollywood. Hemsworth breaking away from his Marvel movies to star in something more subversive would be quite interesting to watch.
While Aronofsky doesn’t seem to want to make the next instalment for “Thor,” the director has revealed with Variety that he has voiced interest in wanting to director a more R-rated version of Batman and Wolverine in the early aughts.
