UPDATE: Five THOR: THE DARK WORLD Still Images Officially Released
Previously seen as grainy magazine scans, high-quality copies of recent Thor: The Dark World stills have surfaced in addition to some potential details surrounding Marvel & director Alan Taylor's feud.
Meanwhile, following confirmation of Thor: The Dark World losing its composer, Carter Burwell, there are unconfirmed rumors that Marvel Studios is also unhappy with the sequel's director, Alan Taylor. While he was apparently asked to take a vacation "until after" Thor: The Dark World is released, a Latino Review commenter seems to know exactly why (spotted by @thormoviesfan ).
"Taylor Was apparently butting heads with Fiege over the run time and final edit," the user Redbull Werewolf claims. "Taylor wants the film to be 2 and a half hours, Marvel says he's contracted to give them a 2 hour film and he;s breaching his contract. He hasn't been fired but Editing has stopped for 2 weeks while both parties take some time to cool off before a mediator will be brought in middle of June. Bottom line is that the film is only 5 months from release and A decision is going to have to be made soon especially if re shoots are required"
Marvel Studios’ “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness.
