There doesn't seem to be a movie made these days without there being a supposed "insert name here" cut somewhere out there that will never be seen. Well, probably won't be seen, unless of course someone talks about it and a social media hashtag gains so much attention that someone high up in the movie industry believes that there may be some more money to be milked from a long since passed movie. Well, it would appear that the first part of that is happening now with the black sheep of the Marvel family, Thor: The Dark World.

At one point it seemed that the second solo Thor movie, with its stellar cast and huge production, had the potential to derail the entire MCU with so-so reviews and a legacy that continues to see it ridiculed and cited as Marvel fans' least favorite and often skipped movie of the original Infinity Saga. The movie did include some pretty relevant references to the on going story that have continued to be referenced in subsequent movies, but also had a number of well publicized issues behind the scenes including the departure of Patty Jenkins as director.

Director Alan Taylor, helmer on Game of Thrones came in to complete the filming of the movie, but reportedly found himself on the outside when it came to the final edit of the movie. Now he had been talking to The Hollywood Reporter about his version of the movie that, for now, will likely never be seen.

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

It seems that Taylor was hired based on his Game of Thrones credentials when Marvel decided they wanted to take the Thor franchise down a darker route than the Kenneth Branagh movie that preceded it, but it seems that was a mistake for both the franchise and the director, who was severely disheartened by the double bashing for that and Terminator: Genisys.

"[Marvel president] 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. "I had lost the will to make movies. I lost the will to live as a director. I'm not blaming any person for that. The process was not good for me. So I came out of it having to rediscover the joy of filmmaking."

Taylor returned to TV after his movie foray, unfortunately being the director of the penultimate Game of Thrones episode which also took a bashing for reasons well out of his hands, but will soon be back on the big screen after helming The Sopranos prequel movie, The Many Saints of Newark, which is released this October.
