Taika Waititi Reckons THOR: RAGNAROK Will Be The "Most Different Marvel Movie" As Its Plot Changes
It seems we should forget what we think we know about Thor: Ragnarok in terms of its story, because director Taika Waititi has revealed things are changing as filming progresses. Check it out!
“I feel like a guest in Marvel's universe but with the creative freedom to do what I want,” Waititi told Polygon yesterday. The New Zealand filmmaker was then asked whether or not Thor: Ragnarok will really be a “buddy-style comedy,” which was previously suggested… mostly by star Mark Ruffalo. “It's hard to say what the movie is because it's changing,” he revealed. “The plot has changed and the script has changed. There are buddy elements to it between Thor and the Hulk, but who knows what the final movie will look like.”
Script and plot changes during principal photography is nothing new for Marvel Studios' productions, and Taika Waititi remains confident that his directing style and techniques will bring something unique to the ever-growing cinematic universe. That includes his character study and understanding of character interactions, for which he has received much praise.
“If my actors aren't having a good time on set, then I'm doing something wrong,” he said. “There needs to be a chemistry between characters on screen, and that comes from having chemistry on set. We are making movies. We should be having a lot of fun.” Also, thanks to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige’s trust and hands-off approach, Waititi thinks Ragnarok will be “the most different Marvel movie to date and one of the biggest.”
Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok is directed by Taika Waititi, and it stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Idris Elba (Heimdall), Sir Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), Karl Urban (Skurge), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), with Jeff Goldblum (Grandmaster) and Cate Blanchett (Hela). And Thor: Ragnarok is set to open in theaters on November 3, 2017.
