Kevin Feige Would Love to Work With Director Taika Waititi Again After The Awesome Work He Did on THOR: RAGNAROK
After seeing what director Taika Waititi did with Thor: Ragnarok, I hoped that we would see the director work with the director again! He did such an amazing job with the movie and I'm so happy to hear that Kevin Feige wants to work with him again.
While talking to ScreenRant, Feige said he's confident that they will work with him again. He also explains one of the many things that he loved about what Waititi brought to the movie:
“Well, we’ll see. I would love, love, love to work with Taika again and I have every confidence that we will. What we’re working on right now is the next six movies. The next six movies that will bring us to Untitled Avengers in May 2019, which carries off a lot of what you see in this movie. In some cases very directly, and continues to build and grow. The notion of the Jack Kirby elements. Walt Simonson has always been an influence on the Thor series for us, obviously, he’s done such amazing work in Thor. Jack Kirby has been an influence on every Marvel movie we’ve ever made because he built the Marvel Universe with Stan, Steve Ditko, and the whole gang there, but this movie, and coincidentally being the 100th year anniversary of Jack Kirby’s birth, we really wanted to be that unabashed love letter, and a film by Taika, when talking to the art department, and saying, “oh look at that, it really should be like this”, looking at Jack Kirby costumes and background panels, and the art department doing something inspired by it and then Taika going no, no. Do this! [referencing exact Kirby art] And that’s why you have, it’s direct to translation of Kirby’s artwork which hasn’t been seen in a movie before.”
With the next six films in the MCU already planned out, it's obviously going to be awhile before we see Waititi direct another Marvel film, and when it happens, who even knows what the MCU will be like because it's all coming to a close with Avengers 4.
Waititi doesn't have to direct another Thor movie. There are a bunch of other characters in the MCU that he could have fun with. I wonder what other characters there are that he'd like to play with. What other characters would you like to see the director take on!?
Personally I think he could make one hell of a great funny Marvel movie involving Hellcow and Howard the Duck.
