Thor: The Dark World Director Confirms Long-Suspected Spoiler

director Alan Taylor, speaking with Empire Online at the D23 Expo this weekend, seems to have confirmed a long-standing rumor: That, like Iron Man 3, this film will carry a body count with it.Now, that’s a far cry from confirming some of the more…specific…iterations of that same rumor, naming those to be killed–but it’s likely to get tongues wagging and to validate fans who have their suspicions already locked in.”I realized recently that I am the grim reaper,” said Taylor. “People hate me because I killed Ned Stark on [Game of Thrones]. But I also killed Caesar in Rome, Wild Bill Hickock in Deadwood and Christopher in The Sopranos. I just get called in to murder people’s favorite characters, so I’m surprised Thor survived this one. There are a few people who don’t make it out alive here. There could be some surprises!”Of course, there’s always a chance that–again, like Iron Man 3–the death toll will only be secondary and tertiary characters (primarily villains) that no one much will miss. We’ll have to see in November.
