While speaking on the Smartless podcast, Thor Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi revealed he did the MCU films for money. He even called the Thor franchise one of the least popular and admitted to not reading any of those comics as a kid. Taika said, “You know what? I had no interest in doing one of those films. It wasn’t on my plan for my career as an auteur. But I was poor, and I’d just had a second child, and I thought, ‘You know what, this would be a great opportunity to feed these children.’”
The Thor Love and Thunder maker then added that he barely read a comic for his research for the MCU flick. Taika also hinted that Marvel was seemingly desperate that they called him in while doing Thor: Ragnarok. He said, “I thought, ‘Well, they’ve called me in, this is really the bottom of the barrel.’” The netizens have expressed their disappointment in the director over these remarks, and taking to their X accounts, the users have lashed out at him.
One of the users said, “Please stop giving this man Director roles.”
Another said, “So, that’s why he did such a shotty job? Nice professionalism from his part.”
A third user wrote, “I think that’s obvious to anyone who’s seen the movie.”
Followed by one calling him “Unworthy!”
Another said, “If only he had the same motivation for Love and Thunder.”
And, “They need to stop calling this man a “director.””
Besides Taika Waititi’s reasons behind doing Thor films, an industry scooper has claimed that Marvel is eyeing Gareth Edwards for Thor 5. Gareth is known for movies like Godzilla, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and more. The industry scooper Daniel Richtman has claimed this report about the fifth installment of the Chris Hemsworth-led MCU franchise.
Unlike Thor: Ragnarok and Love and Thunder, this fifth will allegedly have a darker tone. Meanwhile, no confirmation has come from Marvel in this regard.
