Games of Thrones director Alan Taylor was recruited to direct the God of Thunder’s solo sequel then Avengers director was called in with his mighty pen.
While working on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and prepping for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Joss Whedon was called in to work on Thor: The Dark World.
“Joss came in to save our lives a couple of times,” Taylor tells SFX Magazine. “We had a major scene that was not working on the page at all in London, and he basically got airlifted in, like a SWAT team or something. He came down, rewrote the scene, and before he got back to his plane I sort of grabbed him and said, ‘And this scene and this scene?’ And he rewrote two other scenes that I thought had problems.”
Taylor says the rewritten scenes “were just much better and much lighter on their feet” than the earlier versions. They were apparently “much more fun, much more surprising than what we had been trying to do,” he added.
Thor The Dark World opens November 8th.
