Alan Taylor has revealed that Joss Whedon came over to London to help re-write a couple of scenes for Thor: The Dark World that were not working.
Whedon may be working on The Avengers: The Age of Ultron but he has also been used as a consultant for other Marvel projects.
Taylor has taken over the director's chair for the second Thor film, and called on the help of Whedon to fix a couple of script issues.
Speaking to SFX Magazine the director said: "Joss came in to save our lives a couple of times. We had a major scene that was not working on the page at all in London, and he basically got airlifted in, like a SWAT team or something.
"He came down, rewrote the scene, and before he got back to his plane I sort of grabbed him and said, ‘And this scene and this scene?’ And he rewrote two other scenes that I thought had problems.
"Then finally we let go of him, he took off again, and we shot the scenes; and they were just much better and much lighter on their feet.
"Much more fun, much more surprising than what we had been trying to do. I can relate to guys who come out of the TV world, since that’s where I come from. And being able to land and work and solve a problem quickly... I really was grateful."
Thor: The Dark World is set the second movie in Marvel's Phase Two of films; the first being the billion dollar success of Iron Man 3.
Thor: The Dark World promises to be bigger and bolder than the first movie, as Chris Hemsworth returns to the role for the first time since Avengers Assemble.
Thor: The Dark World is released 30th October.
