Thor 2: The Dark World is barely over a week away from a U.S. release and the world is already talking about Thor 3. Director Alan Taylor has been answering questions about the future of the franchise and also responding to early reviews.
Druing the Londan press junket for the new film, director Alan Taylor has been responding to early reviews. One such review was about the considerably darker film's use of comedic moments. Screen Rant recently reported from the press event, quoting Taylor talking about the positive reaction for the film's funny moments:
"Um, yeah, I’m, I’m so grateful to hear that that’s what’s coming back from the audience as they start to see the film for the first time. I think I went into it, and I thought my first task was to darken the world and deepen it and dirty it up a little bit. Um, I sort of felt like that was my mandate going in. And then as we started the process, I realized, 'Oops. Um, if we’re gonna darken it, if we’re gonna deepen it…we’d better make darn sure that it’s balanced on the other side.' Because the, you know, the key to the Marvel universe and the Marvel language that I was being assaulted by while I was making this movie -‘cause Avengers came out while we were starting it, and Iron Man 3 came out while we were finishing it – was you are screwed if you don’t also keep it funny and light on its feet at the same time. So it’s, it’s called The Dark World, and there’s certainly dark currents in it, um, but, yeah, the humor was critical."
He went on to talk about the possibility of returning for Thor 3:
"One of the things that’s exciting and keeps us on the edge of our seats about Marvel is that they never announce what they’re going to do until the last minute. Will there be a Thor 3? I certainly hope so. They’ll probably wait until this one comes out before they let the world know. Thor will be back in Avengers 2, and I think he certainly deserves a Thor 3, but that’s up to the gods are Marvel to decide."
Taylor also added that the studio doesn't even know what they have planned next:
"My experience with Marvel is that they are literally making it up as they go. They have a grand vision that we’ve been witnessing in Phase I, Phase II and Phase III, but literally, in the details, they make it up as they go--and I saw that up-close and personal when we were doing [Thor 2], when major elements were being worked out, really, in the making of the movie."
Thor: The Dark World opens in the U.S on November 8.
