‘Thor: The Dark World’ Releasing in IMAX One Week Early…

evolveteam August 15, 2013 2

Marvel looks to spoil international audiences early by showing Thor: The Dark World in IMAX one week before its official release date of November 8th. The film will be digitally remastered on October 30th in select countries. Director Alan Taylor has been filming additional scenes dating back to last week. However, there’s still no word on whether the sequel will be distributed in IMAX for the states. That would be a shame.
