Thor: Ragnarok Will Have a Different Take as a Marvel Movie, Cast Shares More On-Set Glimpses


Taika Waititi who helms the next Marvel movie, Thor: Ragnarok, from the director's chair shared some insight on just what sets the third Thor movie apart from the rest of the Marvel films.

As fans have been speculating, Thor: Ragnarok may have aspects that dabble with a lighter vibe. Waititi confirmed in a sense that there may be a "buddy comedy" atmosphere. Speaking to Polygon, he gave some hints on the direction Thor: Ragnarok will take.

"The plot has changed and the script has changed. There are buddy elements to it between Thor and the Hulk, but who knows what the final movie will look like… There needs to be a chemistry between characters on screen and that comes from having chemistry on set. We're making movies. We should be having a lot of fun."

He also emphasized that Thor: Ragnarok may be the most different Marvel movie in the Grand Plan to date. Without going into specifics, it is possible that this different vibe may stem from Waititi's tendency to delve into the heart of character study, a tendency that he will bring to the third movie.

The Thor movies have involved comedic references and cameos, all made in good taste so they don't take away the gravity of the film. Who can forget Captain America's cameo thanks to Loki's changing appearance. Even the banter between the two brothers is endearing.

Speaking of some fun on the set, The Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo also shared a few more short footages of him on the set via Twitter.

There's also one short footage of him showing off his giant Hulk hands and getting ready to punch the screen.

And here's him in his man-cancelling suit, still filming Thor: Ragnarok in Australia.

Thor: Ragnarok stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson and Cate Blanchett. Mark Ruffalo will have his The Hulk cameo appearance. The film will be out in theatres on Nov. 3.
