Taika Waititi "Shouldn't Be Allowed" to Make 'Thor: Love and Thunder' - Inside the Magic

One of the latest additions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will push boundaries in ways that fans have not seen before.

Thor: Love and Thunder [2022] has a planned release date of July 2022 and will feature the return of Chris Hemsworth (Thor), as well as a host of talent we’ve seen from previous installments, including Female Thor incarnation Natalie Portman (Jane Foster/Mighty Thor), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif), Taika Waititi (Korg), and Jeff Goldblum (Grandmaster).

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Marvel Director of Visual Development Andy Park revealed that the movie may make some fans uncomfortable in terms of the visual elements of the film.

“There’s a reason why there’s been over a decade of successful movies and just why this franchise is growing. So Thor: Love and Thunder falls right into that where it’s just pushing the boundaries of what’s comfortable and what should be expected,” Park said. 

He went on to say that Director Taika Waititi– who directed Thor: Ragnarok, as well as several other films like Boy, What We Do In The Shadows, and Jojo Rabbit— said he “shouldn’t be allowed to make a movie like this.”

“You’ll be surprised and push these characters and the visuals go along with that. I think Taika said it in some interview where he’s just like, he’s surprised that he’s even, he shouldn’t be allowed to make a movie like this. And I get it,” he added. “This movie is crazy wild. It’s so much fun. And I simply cannot wait for everyone to see it. Because it was so much fun to work on and design so many characters and do keyframes for. It’s going to be a good one. It’s going to be fun.”

Marvel fans have enjoyed the recent releases of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals, and there are already eight more movies in post-production or currently filming that will be released through 2023, with others being planned, as well.

Thor was previously seen in Avengers: Endgame [2019] alongside Robert Downey Jr.(Tony Stark/Iron Man), Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant-Man), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/The Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye), Brie Larson (Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel) and Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow).
