Taika Waititi has some words for the Marvel nerds who said he would ruin the Thor franchise.
“That really propelled me into the nerdosphere, if you will,” Waititi toldEntertainment Weekly, explaining what happened when he first signed on to direct Thor: Ragnarok. “I was living a really lovely, peaceful life, and as soon as I did this, well boy, did the nerds come for me. They said, ‘This guy’s gonna ruin this. He’s gonna ruin Thor!'”
“It’s like, ‘What, you mean again? And they were like, ‘He’s gonna ruin this for everyone, Thor’s so cool!’ And I said to them on Twitter - before I left Twitter - I said, ‘You don’t know what you want until I give it to you.'”
Waititi’s next project is a dystopian science fiction titled Klara and the Sun, which stars Jenna Ortega, Amy Adams, Natasha Lyonne, Simon Baker, Harry Greenwood, and Steve Buscemi. He’s also writing a new Star Wars movie, and is set to the previously announced Akira movie.
