Thor 4: These Marvel characters were supposed to appear in Love and Thunder

After offering two very feature films in late 2021, The Eternals and Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been toning down the length of its films. So much so that Thor – Love and Thunder clocks in at barely two hours, including the credits. This is half of the first meeting.

in the given interview Collider, Taika Waititi and Chris Hemsworth revealed that the first dungeon of the film was four hours, which is very common in blockbusters, as it was the same for Batman. Except that Matt Reeves and Warner cut less. “A few times on the set (…), at the time, you say to yourself, ‘This is the best thing anyone has ever shot in the history of filming!’explains the film director.

“Then you get into the editing stage. And you’re like, ‘I still really like it.’ And then after you’ve been in the movie for six months, you realize that it was funny at the time, but ultimately it has nothing to do with the movie.” However, Taika Waititi clarifies that this was just the end-to-end cutscenes and not the actual editing. But Chris Hemsworth this version a “Totally Crazy and Wild”and the like “Monty Python drawing.”

You had to try a lot of things to find the right balance.

But you have to make a choice, for narrative and commercial reasons (the longer the duration, the fewer sessions there can be per day). And Taika Waititi revealed that the edits have continued “Ten to eleven months to figure out what the story was and find the right tone. We rehearsed it a lot and sometimes it was too funny, sometimes it was too serious. Sometimes there were too many jokes and you didn’t really know what the characters were doing… you had to try a lot of things. Finding the right balance.”

That’s why we have to cut it. Ბevre. According to Natalie PortmanIndiewire, “all the scenes and planets and characters and worlds that didn’t end up in the movie, when it was fun and amazing, and that we spent a lot of time on, and the team that did everything that was designed.” The actor also added “Very exciting scenes” Jane and Thor bore the brunt of those wounds.

Among the actors who were not in the end, we find Peter Dinklage and Jeff Goldblum, who should reprise their roles – Eitri (forging Thor’s new weapon in Infinity War) and Grandmaster (the crusader in Ragnarok earlier), but whose scenes. has been deleted According to Christian Bale, the villain Gore’s interpreter, who gave them the answer.

Lena Headey, unreleased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, also saw her first forays into editing. And it’s all the more unfortunate for the former Game of Thrones ace, whose role has yet to be revealed, to be sued by her former agency for unpaid fees due to her commitment to various projects. Among them Thor – love and Thunder.

“It’s like that in every movie, big or small”Taika Waititi answers about absences. “There will always be someone who cuts, and in such big films sometimes there are famous people (laughs) but that’s okay: you don’t have to put a scene in the film because there is a famous person in it.” the main thing is That it will benefit the film and we always shoot more scenes than we need.”

“You type everything into a script, and ours was 145 pages long, which is too long. But I knew the result couldn’t be that long, so we tried to turn everything around, even though we knew that the second time around, certain things would be missing.” all the time? No one knows for now, but Taika Waititi hinted in an interview NMEIf there was no director’s cut.

The director even backed up his opinion by stating that he did not like the director’s cut he had seen in the past. In the absence of a longer version, Marvel could offer many cut scenes in future video releases.
