Thor being possesed
As Marvel gets ready for the DVD release of Avengers: Age of Ultron on Oct. 2, they've released the first of what will probably be quite a few deleted scenes from the film.
It makes sense that they'd want to go ahead and get this one out there, though, because it helps explain one of the most out-of-place and complained about sequences in the film – that part where Thor goes to a cave with Erik Selvig and has some crazy visions inside a pool.
Here's what Joss Whedon had to say about the scene on the Empire Podcast (via Comic Book Resources):
"The original scene was that Thor went to speak to the Norn and how it would work was that he’d go in the pool and the Norn possess him, basically, and Erik Selvig asks all the questions, and the Norn, speaking through Thor, give the answers," Whedon said. "So Chris got to do something different, and he really threw himself into it, and he did a beautiful job, but it wasn’t well regarded by the test audiences and I feel it’s probably largely because it was a rough cut with no effects, but also because it’s something that in a Thor movie would work brilliantly, but in this movie is just a little too left of centre."
Hopefully that alternate ending we heard about a couple months back makes it onto the DVD.
