Thor: The Dark World is probably one of the worst movies in the Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe, but its director assures that there is a different version.
Alan Taylor is the director of some of the best episodes of the series Game of Thrones, that’s why he gained a lot of fame and signed to make some films that could be a tremendous success but ended up disappointing, such as Thor: The Dark World (2013) and Terminator: Genesis (2015). Now he has revealed interesting details of his version of the second installment of the God of Thunder of Marvel studios.
In a recent interview, Alan Taylor revealed details of the rough cut he had done: “Kevin Feige was always smart to look at what worked and what didn’t work in the last iteration and try to reorganize it from there. So I came to bring some Game of Thrones to Marvel Studios. “
“The version I started with had more childish wonders. There was this image of children, which started it all. There was a slightly more magical quality. There were weird things happening on Earth due to the convergence that allowed for some of these magical realism things. And there were big differences in the plot that were reversed in the editing room and with additional filming. People like Loki who had died weren’t dead. The people who had broken up were back together. I think I liked my version better ”.
Will we ever see this version of Thor: The Dark World? That seems unlikely as there aren’t many fans asking for the original cut.
He also commented on the difference in treatment with other directors.
Alan Taylor acknowledged that he is envious of directors like James Gunn Y Taika waititi who are able to contribute their “Very personal vision… and they manage to combine it with the great corporate demands”. But point out that: “I think my ability with the team may be different”.
Of course, things wouldn’t get much better when he went on to direct Terminator: Genesis, a film that received even worse reviews than Thor: The Dark World. Now he has confessed what he felt after the premiere: “I had lost the desire to make movies. I lost the will to live as a director. I don’t blame anyone for that. The process was not good for me. So I came out of it having to rediscover the joy of filmmaking. “
