THOR: RAGNAROK Will Be a Retro-Style Adventure According to Director Taika Waititi
When the official logo for Thor: Ragnarok was released, I loved the retro '80s feel that it had. I wasn't really sure if that meant the film will have the same tone, but I hoped that it would. Now director Taika Waititi has confirmed that it will.
During a recent Reddit AMA, the director was asked about the '80s style logo and if we could expect to see that vibe in the film he said, "You can, and more." He also went on to explain that the film was inspired by the sci-fi art of that time period.
"The style is inspired by 70s / 80s sci-fi fantasy art. Because our film feels like that."
Waititi seems to be very confident in the film that he has made because he believes that it will be "one of the most adventurous and most 'out there' of all the Marvel movies." He adds that "It's a crazy movie" and that Bruce Banner will steal the show, which is awesome to hear!
All this talk basically confirms that Waititi is making an adventurous retro spectacle that Marvel fans are going to love. It's been previously mentioned that the film will be an intergalactic road trip with Thor and Hulk. If you're a fan of Waititi's previous quirky and funny films, you'll be happy to know that you'll see his style in the movie. When asked about that the director said:
“You can expect a Taika-esque tone. They’ve [Marvel] been very accepting of my style."
