If you needed any more proof that Joss Whedon truly is one of the superheroes he writes about, here's a fun little story from the set of Thor: The Dark World. In a new interview with SFX, director Alan Taylor revealed that Whedon had to be called to the set a few times to fix major issues that were going on with the script during production—a script that he didn't even write. Whedon had no involvement writing the screenplay for Thor's second installment, but he was still the one they all called for help, because that is just how talented he is.

Apparently, things got so messed up with the script at one point that Whedon even had to be airlifted in to help. As explained by Taylor:

None

Joss Whedon, to the rescue? If we could all just collectively agree to give Whedon this whole franchise and all the films that come with it, that would be totally OK and a probably great decision. He's already the one saving it anyway.
