Background
In April 2013, it was announced that Carter Burwell had signed on to score Thor: The Dark World following Patrick Doyle who scored the first Thor film.[3] In May 2013, Burwell departed the film due to creative differences.[4] Kevin Feige, president of production at Marvel Studios explained, "It just didn't seem like the right fit, and we had to make a call early on. If post-production had been a year-and-a-half, we might have had time for trial and error, it might have worked."[5] On June 18, 2013, Brian Tyler took over scoring duties from Burwell; Tyler previously scored Iron Man 3.[6] Tyler said, "The feel of Thor is a very different than Iron Man. Yet they live in the same universe. For me, it's like somehow Indiana Jones showed up on the Enterprise; or something."[7]
