IGN recently caught up with Taika Waititi to discuss Hunt for the Wilderpeople, but they made sure to ask the Thor: Ragnarok helmer about that brilliant short which revealed that the God of Thunder had found an Australian roommate while the events of Captain America: Civil War were taking place. Is it canon though? It certainly sounds like it could be based on these new comments from the director.
"Thor briefly rented a room in a flat in Australia after the Ultron debacle," Waititi explained. "Just to get some downtime – to get away from The Avengers, to get away from America. So he had a little downtime in Australian. And he met this guy Darryl and they shared a flat together. So that’s Darryl." That's good, but will we see him again? "I think you probably could see him again. There may be other little pieces of that thing that everyone saw that may just be a small part of a bigger thing."
Waititi could be referring to anything from a cameo in Thor: Ragnarok to an extended version of/sequel to that mockumentary then, but it sounds like we need to keep an eye out for Darryl regardless. However, one thing we unfortunately won't see in the Phase 3 release is a nod to the brilliant What We Do In The Shadows. "A thing that will definitely not happen is… if I say anything, it might hint at something else. I have to really watch my words nowadays. This is a topic I should really avoid. OK, one thing you can get from me, not being in Thor, is any of our vampire characters and werewolf characters from the other Taika and Jemaine universe. You won’t see any of that."
What are you guys most looking forward to seeing in Thor: Ragnarok when it's released next year?
