Warning: Thor: Ragnarok spoilers are discussed in this interview
Thor: Ragnarokis now playing around the world. In the run-up to the Marvel film’s release, I got to sit down with directorTaika Waititifor a spoiler-filled conversation. He discussed whether it was always the intention for the Warriors Three to make such a brief appearance and then be killed off, where was Sif (Jaimie Alexander), where did the idea for Thor losing an eye come from and did he get any resistance from Marvel, the amazing cameo in the first act whereMatt Damonplays Loki (and he reveals they filmed an extended bit where they used some dialogue fromGood Will Hunting!), and a lot more.
As I’m sure you all know by now, theThorsequelfinds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) stripped of his hammer by Hela (Cate Blanchett), who escapes from her Asgardian prison and lays waste to the city. Banished to a foreign planet, Thor teams up with Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and some new and old friends to take on Hela and protect the universe once and for all. The film also starsKarl Urban,Tessa Thompson,Idris Elba,Jeff Goldblum,Rachel House,Tadanobu Asano,Anthony Hopkins,Benedict Cumberbatch,Clancy Brown, andRay Stevenson.
I absolutely loved this movie. It’s probably the funniest Marvel movie to date and it’s also a really fun ride that’s also loaded with some incredible action set pieces. I had a smile on my face beginning to end. I can’t recommend Waititi’s film enough.
