Released Next Year, 'THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER' Said to be Crazy by Marvel Executives

Kapanlagi.com - Who still remembers THOR and its first 3 films. Compared to other Marvel films, the first 2 THOR films are often forgotten because their stories have no impact on the audience. However, this has been overcome in the third film THOR: RAGNAROK thanks to the director Taika Waititi who took THOR in a different direction.

Taika Waititi is currently in the spotlight due to his famous works such as THOR: RAGNAROK and JOJO RABBIT. The director, who is actually known as an actor, has even won an Oscar for his film JOJO RABBIT.

Thanks to the humor, story, and character development that the director incorporated into it, THOR: RAGNAROK is so far the most popular film in the Chris Hemsworth franchise. That's why fans can't wait to see what Taika Waititi will create in LOVE AND THUNDER. Especially since this film will also feature Natalie Portman and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

1. Andy Park's Comment

Quoted from Screenrant, Andy Park, the Director of Visual Development at Marvel, has commented on Taika Waititi's latest film. "There's a reason why the film can be successful for over a decade and why this franchise is growing. THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER will fall right where the film just pushes the boundaries of what's comfortable and what's expected. You'll be surprised and it pushes these characters and the visuals along with it.

Andy Park said that this film will bring a wilder story development. Unlike the first two THOR films which are like superhero movies fighting villains in general.

2. Taika Waititi

Seeing how Taika Waititi can transform THOR from a boring film to an enjoyable one, it's clear that Marvel fans know that THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is in good hands, and it seems that Taika Waititi will push the franchise even further than he did with RAGNAROK.

Even Andy Park said, "I think he (Taika Waititi) said it in some interviews where he's like surprised that he even... he shouldn't be allowed to make a movie like this. And I get it. This film is very wild. It's very fun. And I can't wait for everyone to see it. Because it's so fun to work on and design so many characters and do keyframes. So it's gonna be great. It's gonna be fun."

Although the information given to fans is still limited. At least Marvel fans can be excited knowing that GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY will be included in this film, although it is still unclear how big their role will be and besides, who doesn't like the competition between Thor and Star-Lord full of humor.

In addition to the Guardians, Marvel fans can also see Jane Foster played by Natalie Portman. After being absent in the third film, she finally returns as the main character.
