澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: The Dark World is generally co🎃nsidered one of the lower-tier Marvel movies, and it's not exactly hard to see why. The villain, Malekith, barely makes an appearance, while Natalie Portman's Jane Foster and Chris Hemsworth's Thor have little-to-no chemistry (despite having genuine moments in the first Thor).

Director Alan Taylor has confessed to having been perplexed somewhat by the experience. Speaking to , the♒ filmmaker revealed how the movie's story changed in "major" ways throughout post-production, with reshoots and edꦅits altering the ending.

"The version I had started🎉 off with had more childlike wonder; there was this imagery of children, which started the whole thing," he told the publication. 

"There was a slightly more magical quality. There was weird stuff going on back on Earth because of the convergence that allowed for some of these magical realism things. And💝 there were major plot differences that were inverted in the cutting room and with additional photography – people [such as Loki] who had died were not dead, people who had broken up were back together again. I think I would like my version."

Taylor – who has helmed episodes of the world's best TV sh𝓡ows, including The Sopranos, Lost, Mad Men, and Game of Thrones – added that he had initially been brought in by Marvel president Kevin Feige to change the tonal intention of the sequel, hoping to make The Dark World, well, dark. "Kevin Feige was always smart about looking at what worked and didn't in the last iteration and trying to retool from that," Taylor said. "So I came in to 'bring some Game of Thrones to it.'"

The director added that he admires fellow Marvel directors Taika Waititi (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Ragnarok) or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy)  who 🌃bring their personal vision and "manage to combine it with the big corporate dem♐ands".

Taylor's next movie is澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: The Sopranos preq🍷uel The Many S🍰aints of Newark. For more, check out the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies heading your way.
