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. The following May, Burwell departed the film due to creative differences. 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." On June 18, 2013, Brian Tyler took over scoring duties from Burwell; Tyler previously scored Iron Man 3. 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."
