Marvel Studios didn't bring any footage from Thor: Ragnarok to this year's San Diego Comic-Con, but they did reveal a pretty hilarious sounding mockumentary by director Taika Waititi. That revealed what the God of Thunder has been up to since the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it turns out that he got himself a roommate named Daryl who he gets to write all of his email correspondences with Captain America and Iron Man. Oh, and Thor and Bruce also regularly meet for coffee!
Throw in the fact that the video revealed that Thor has a conspiracy board about the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones and a tiny bed for Mjolnir, and it sounds amazing, but what else would you expect from the co-director of a movie like What We Do In The Shadows? A detailed description courtesy of Slash Film can be found below along with a first look image shared by star Daley Pearson (The Strange Calls). It goes without saying that this needs to be released online by Marvel as soon as possible.
Director Taika Waititi shot a documentary short that featured Thor living down in Australia with a guy named Daryl Jacobsen, in a small apartment. He’s wearing board shorts, sitting around not doing much in a cheap apartment. Daryl has some difficulty vacuuming around Mjolnir sitting in the middle of the floor. We also get to see Thor volunteering at an elementary school, asking them to identify poor drawings of The Avengers. Thor is surprised that the kids know who “the purple weirdo” is in the line-up. But easily the best part about this little short are the letters that Thor dictates for Daryl to send to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Thor writes to Tony, “How’s it going? Remember that time you created the possessed robot that nearly destroyed Earth? That was funny.” Then to Steve Rogers he writes, “Do you remember when I goaded you into killing those prisoners and you made me swear not to tell the other Avengers? I haven’t told them yet.”
Thor shows us his bedroom that tells Daryl to “keep out” in Asgardian. Inside his room we find Thor’s costume hanging up near his window. And next to his bed is a tiny bed with Mjolnir all tucked in. Then on the wall there’s a homemade, crafty chart trying to explain what Infinity Stones are. It looks like he’s investigating a crime. Asks who the purple man in the chair is, notes he doesn’t like to stand and has a magic glove. It’s not all business though as there’s also a drawing of Mjolnir wearing sunglasses and holding a Thor action figure. Easily the best part though is when Thor hangs out with Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), and he learns that Tony Stark has been contacting Banner really frequently, asking him to join his side in Civil War. But Stark doesn’t feel the need to talk to Thor on the phone at all. Tony says he’ll call Thor another time, but the God of Thunder reminds him he doesn’t have a phone, so he should call a raven.
