Thor: Ragnarok – Taika Waititi Would Love To Do Another Thor Movie

Whenever a new Marvel movie comes out one of the first questions a director is asked is whether or not they're going to return for the sequel. James Gunn go ahead of the curve by just announcing it on social media but Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi has been getting the question. This time he answered during an interview with Radio Times.

"I would like to come back and work with Marvel any time, because I think they're a fantastic studio, and we had a great time working together," Waititi told RadioTimes.com. "And they were very supportive of me, and my vision. They kind of gave me a lot of free reign, but also had a lot of ideas as well. A very collaborative company."

That doesn't mean Taika Waititi will just jump on any Marvel property; he specifically wants to return to the Thor franchise.

Specifically, he went on, "I'd love to do another Thor film, because I feel like I've established a really great thing with these guys, and friendship. And I don't really like any of the other characters."

Troll harder, Mr. Waititi.

It wasn't just the world and the characters that Waititi really enjoyed but more the fantastic cast he got the opportunity to work with.

"The best thing about this was actually working with these amazing people," Waititi said of his cast. "I've grown to love all of these guys. Not him," he quipped, gesturing to a picture of Ruffalo's Hulk, "but the guy beneath him. And they've all become friends. For me, it's just so nice working with people who are just nice, and want to come and do a good job and have a good laugh on set. We laughed and danced all day long when we weren't making the movie, so yeah – the shoot was the most enjoyable part of it."

It sounds like any gag reels or behind-the-scenes footage from this one is going to be a "must include" for the home release. This isn't the first we've heard about the dancing either. The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) appeared in the credits for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and that footage was just from the Thor set where Goldblum was dancing.

Summary: Imprisoned, the mighty Thor finds himself in a lethal gladiatorial contest against the Hulk, his former ally. Thor must fight for survival and race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home and the Asgardian civilization.

Thor: Ragnarok, directed by Taika Waititi, stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Idris Elba, and Mark Ruffalo. It will be released on October 24th in the UK and November 3rd in the US.
