Overview
- Branagh told the On Film with Kevin McCarthy podcast that Marvel discussed 'horizontalizing' Thor—removing or flattening the movie’s Dutch (canted) angles—but decided not to pursue the costly post-production process.
- He defended the camera choices as intentional artistic moves inspired by classic comic-book framing and German Expressionist composition meant to create visual impact for a story about gods.
- Co-interviewee Ryan Reynolds pushed back on social-media criticism of the technique, asking whether complaints were informed critiques or bandwagon reactions.
- Later Thor sequels used far fewer Dutch angles and steered the series toward broader comedy, illustrating a clear tonal and visual shift across the franchise.
- Branagh, who was promoting his film Mayday, has also suggested he might return to Thor with a darker, more mature take, and the character remains slated to appear in future MCU projects.
