A whole new movie

After Derrickson left, Kevin Feige called Loki writer Michael Waldron to come in and do a rewrite on the film. Waldron said it was February 2020 and he had only three weeks to do it. And the last week was the week the world shut down for covid-19. Production then moved from May 2020 to November 2020 and everyone decided to throw out that draft entirely. The result was basically a whole new movie that they found better and more exciting.
