Trivia: Director Alan Taylor has stated that he wasn't completely pleased with how the finished film turned out. His initial vision for the film was more whimsical, while Marvel instead wanted something more stark and dark to contrast with the vibrant first film. Several major plot points were also changed in editing and reshoots to accommodate planned future storylines. An example is Loki, who was originally killed off in the first cut, but is shown to have faked his death in the final cut.
