Sam Raimi, the director of the first Spider-Man movies, first developed the concept of a film adaptation of Thor in 1991, but soon abandoned the project, leaving it in “development hell” for nearly a decade .

Since then, producers have released two sequels surrounding Thor boosting the film’s franchise into the hundreds of millions.
