Thor: Ragnarok Is Every Bit a Taika Waititi Film and Definitely One of the Most Fun Movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

In case you didn’t know or haven’t seen it, the third standalone Thor film has an extra special, humorous touch by Taika Waititi, the creative force behind What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which makes for several really laugh out loud moments as opposed to the few that are usually sprinkled throughout a typical MCU movie. 

So, go see it or see it again if you haven’t already.

Taika Waititi Getting Set to Direct “Thor: Ragnarok”

(via Variety)

In Thor’s standalone saga within the Marvel film canon, Marvel has gone, for its directors, from an accomplished Shakespearean actor/director to a veteran TV director to now one of the funniest writer/director/actors to come out of New Zealand.

Taika Waititi, the writer/director of the amazing vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows, is indeed getting set to direct the third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok. Waititi will be following the likes of Kenneth Branagh, whose name was pretty much synonymous with Shakespeare for much of his career, and Alan Taylor, who made his bones by directing several premium cable shows for many years.

With Branagh’s background in Shakespeare, it stands to reason that he was brought in for the first Thor to bring a sort of legitimacy to the world of Asgard and Thor himself. So, along these lines, we’re wondering if Taika will make the third installment of Thor, the funniest Thor given his expertise.  

Thor: Ragnarok isn’t set for release until 2017, so we have a while to wait and see.
