Surprised that Marvel is so insecure about Thor... I don't think the exec would have made a big deal out of it, if Iron Man 3 was 30 Minutes longer.
Tbh, I think Thor has got the greatest potential out of all the Marvel Heroes. I mean he has got an entire universe full of badass stuff. They should really relax and give Taylor more creative freedom. Nobody will say "I'm not gonna watch Thor because it 's too Long". I mean come on, that's ridiculous.
Besides, I can't imagine 30 Minutes longer in the Thor Universe would be boring. I'd be weary if they made a 2 hour 30 minutes movie about Captain America or Hulk. But Thor is a total different chapter...
