One Thor: Love and Thunder Spoiler Surprised Even Director Taika Waititi

Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s all anybody in popular culture is speaking about this week. Was it good, was it dangerous, did you prefer it, did you hate it, how did they deal with Jane, was it homosexual sufficient, does it arrange Thor 5, goat screaming, the listing of dialogue matters has been countless. Oddly sufficient although, in a couple of interviews, the individual primarily accountable for the movie—co-writer and director Taika Waititi—was utterly in the dead of night about one key speaking level.

Marvel Studios has conditioned its followers to remain via the tip of the credit of its movies with the promise of some enjoyable shock and/or revelation. Normally that’s within the type of a full scene however someinstances there’s additionally a declaration {that a} character or staff will “be back.” That occurs in Thor: Love and Thunder the place the credit finish with the promise that “Thor will be back,” presumably in some type of sequel. However, speaking to Insider, the one that’d hypothetically be accountable for that sequel, Waititi, revealed he wasn’t conscious that was on there.

“Well, guess what? That was a surprise to me, too,” he mentioned. “I‘m not joking. I saw it in the theater and I was like, ‘Oh, shit. Really?’ Even Chris [Hemsworth] was like, ‘What?’ But, of course he’ll be back. He’s the best character. I mean, I may be a little biased, but he’s the most fun to watch.”

Thor: Love and Thunder does finish with a couple of hints of how Thor would possibly return. For one, he’s obtained an adopted daughter with superhero powers. Two, Hercules and Zeus at the moment are after him. So it appears pretty apparent that Waititi himself wrote in and filmed hints of the place an extra story would possibly go, however he appears to gloss over that.

“Now, I don’t know what would be next,” Waititi mentioned. “I would definitely do one, but only if Chris did it. But it would need to be something surprising and unexpected for me to want to do it. Like what would be the new take? The battles and all the fighting is fine, but I would want something that feels unexpected when it comes to the story. Like making just a $5 million movie with no fighting at all, just Thor on a road trip. Like Nebraska.”

To us, Thor having a daughter and preventing along with his fellow gods is fairly “unexpected,” so we’ve got a sense the Oscar winner is messing round right here a bit. But regardless of the reality is, Thor will probably be again. Though it in all probability wouldn’t occur till after Waititi directs a Star Wars film.
