Thor 2 director Alan Taylor has said he would be interested in making a director's cut of the Marvel sequel.

Talking with Inverse about a Snyder Cut-style redo of the movie – referring to Zack Snyder's Justice League, the director's cut of Justice League with substantial changes to the theatrical version – Taylor said: "I was cheering for Snyder when he was doing that and thinking, 'Will he pull this off? This is amazing.' I think every director was kind of rooting for that. I would love to, I mean to. Can you imagine that? They give me however many millions of dollars they gave him to go back in. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to get that phone call."

He added: "I think I was brought in to bring some Game of Thronesiness to it in reaction to the first Thor, which was a little too shiny, was my feeling. And then partway through, they started to realize that they wanted to hit in a different direction. So it was kind of a stumbling process."

The director has previously talked about his experience on the movie, revealing the scale of the changes made in post-production: "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."

The Thor franchise, meanwhile, continues with Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder, which is due out next year. Until then, check out our guide to Marvel Phase 4 for everything the MCU has in store for us.
