Taika Waititi

Vampires are coming back to FX, and not the Guillermo del Toro kind. Instead, Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi and frequent partner Jemaine Clement are bringing their new version of What We Do in the Shadows to TV, landing an official pilot order on FX.

Okay, we get it. ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ is the most fun movie in the world.

The notion of Taika Waititi bringing his delightful sensibilities to another major franchise — or any form of media, really — is certainly attractive. After reinvigorating the Thor series with the outlandishly entertaining and colorful (in more ways than one) Ragnarok, Waititi likely has his pick of projects to take on next, though many fans of the filmmaker would probably rather see him deliver another original feature. But if Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy had it her way, Waititi would sign on to direct a Star Wars movie.

In early versions of the ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ script there was an odd romance and a callback to a villain from the first ‘Thor’ movie.

Taika Waititi reveals the ‘Avengers’ callback scene he cut from ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and that the director played not one, but three characters in the movie.

Taika Waititi revealed that he initially filmed a credits scene with a bit more hopeful fate for the Grandmaster that had him and his bodyguard Topaz escaping on Thor’s giant spaceship with the rest of Asgard.

Originally there was a flashback scene that would have shown Thor and Valkyrie interacting as youngsters.

Did you catch all the Marvel movie and comic book references in ‘Thor: Ragnarok’? If not, we collected a whopping 29 Easter eggs.

Now that ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ is being hailed as the best movie yet about the God of Thunder, we’re looking back to see where the Thor movies went wrong.

Before Taika Waititi decided on Hela as the God of Thunder’s nemesis, he had another Marvel villain in mind for ‘Thor: Ragnarok.’
