When it comes to the actual film, Waititi has said that Thor: Ragnarok will be very different from anything we’ve seen so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During a Reddit AMA, the What We Do In The Shadows director opened up about his first Marvel flick.
“I think [Thor: Ragnarok] will be one of the most adventurous and most ‘out there’ of all the Marvel movies. It’s a crazy movie,” Waititi told a fan who asked how the film would stack up to the other MCU films. “I made an effort to ignore the fact that there are other Thor films. I’m trying to ignore the rest of the universe and just make my own awesome movie.“
In terms of the things that will make the film, as he puts it, his “own awesome movie” the director says that the film will have adistinctly “Taika-esque tone,” and a strong 1980s influence that he thinks the film needed.
One of the other exciting bits to come out of the Reddit AMA was a very revealing one-word-answer. When asked who he thought would steal the show in Thor: Ragnarok, Waititi answered simply and bluntly: “Banner.”
That should come as a refreshing bit of news, as Ruffalo’s Banner/Hulk was the talk of the town after The Avengers came out in 2012, but then lost some of his appeal in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. The character was an absolute scene-stealer when Ruffalo made his debut as the brilliant scientist with a seriously gnarly problem with his temper. It’s great to hear that Waititi wants to restore the buzz around the character, who’s been a fan favorite ever since he debuted in 1962.
Thor: Ragnarok is set to arrive next year on November 3.
