It’s no secret that Patty Jenkins parted ways with Marvel Studios after a brief but conflicting time on Thor 2. Jenkins was originally set to direct the Marvel sequel before she stepped away over creative differences (which would consequently earn Marvel the ire of star Natalie Portman, before Taika Waititi won her back). That left directing duties to Alan Taylor, who would turn out one of the least-liked movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And Jenkins said, in a recent interview, that she saw the writing in the cards for what would become Thor: The Dark World, which led to her exiting the project.
