MCU: 10 Behind The Scenes Feuds Marvel Studios Doesn't Want You To Know
5. Alan Taylor Vs. Marvel Studios
Thor: The Dark World was a troubled production from the start, and while it was a box office hit, it's one of only a few movies from Marvel Studios that isn't "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. When Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor was chosen to step behind the camera, the hopes was that he would bring that Westeros feel to Asgard.
Instead, it was a mostly generic blockbuster set primarily in London, and before the sequel even arrived in cinemas, Alan Taylor was speaking out against the changes Marvel Studios has made.
At the premiere for Thor: The Dark World, he distanced himself from the post-credits scene James Gunn had shot teasing Guardians of the Galaxy, stating: "I am very happy not to take responsibility for that." He didn't appreciate having another filmmaker's work added to his own, but later made it clear how much he hated working with Marvel Studios.
"The Marvel experience was particularly wrenching because I was sort of given absolute freedom while we were shooting, and then in post it turned into a different movie," Taylor revealed. "So, that is something I hope never to repeat and don’t wish upon anybody else." Needless to say, he was never considered for Thor: Ragnarok.
