Francis Lawrence took the helm, delivering a visually stunning and emotionally charged film that solidified its place as one of the best in the franchise.

Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) must join forces to combat the mysterious Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and his army of Dark Elves. This cosmic adventure was packed with humor, action, and heart, thanks in no small part to the witty banter between Thor and Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Director Alan Taylor delivered a visually impressive and entertaining sequel that expanded the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Saving the best for last, November 2013 gave us The Wolf of Wall Street, a scathing critique of the American Dream.
