Thor: Ragnarok
Thor : Ragnarokdirector Taiki Waititi is explaining why he ’s exposed to directing more stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but has no interest in helm aStar Warsmovie . Even though the release of the thirdThorsolo moving picture is a little under two weeks away , critic are already hold the movie"a triumph " and " boldest Marvel Movie yet,“crediting in Waititi for the cinema ’s clearly unlike tincture that is much more lighthearted than the previous two installments feature the God of Thunder .
And while stellar critic ' notice do n’t always equate to corner office success ( read : Blade Runner 2049 ) , long - chain of mountains box office protrusion are targetingThor : Ragnarokto unresolved in the neighborhood of$90 million domestically , all but secure that the moving-picture show as yet another MCU blockbuster . That ’s obviously good news for Waititi , who occur from the indie world and has a trenchant , freestyle filmmaking approach different to how most tentpoles bring . The movie manufacture clearly has taken notice of Waititi ’s gifts , and Warner Bros. has already approach the theater director about helm itslive - military action version ofAkira . On top of that , there appear to be plenty of room for Waititi to do more moving-picture show in the MCU , per Marvel Studios President Kevin Fiege ’s recent revelation that he would"love , love , love to work with Taika again and I have every sureness that we will . "
While a humankind of opportunities has distinctly opened up to Waititi , it appears that he ’s go to be consciously limiting himself , as least when it derive to hazard to a galaxy far , far away . In a novel consultation with theNew York TimesforThor : Ragnarok , Waititi says the body structure of theStar Warsuniverse just would n’t yield him the sort of creative exemption that is allowed in the MCU , and finally , he just ca n’t picture himself doing a film in the space saga created by George Lucas . He say :
" That particular dealership seems really tough . There ’s not much way for someone like me . Through its narrow canyon , the tone of Star Wars has always been determinedly ego - serious , whereas the Marvel movies , like the 10 of comics they sprang from , cut wildly from high drama to blue drollery . And extemporization has been a peter in every Marvel movie since Robert Downey Jr. riff his elbow room through Iron Man . "
You have to apprize Waititi ’s money plant about the prognosis of aim aStar Warsmovie , and respectfully explaining why he and the franchise simply would n’t be a upright convulsion . Phil Lord and Christopher Miller , regrettably , found out the hard way that comedy , extemporisation andStar Warssimply do n’t mix ( thus leading totheir sack fromSolo : A Star Wars Story ) , so Waiti is but being proactive by saying there ’s no sense into trying wedge his directorial trend into the strict parametric quantity established by Lucasfilm in the 40 years since the original film debuted .
