Taika Waititi Admits He Lied to Marvel to Get Hired for Thor

Image
Taika Waititi made his Marvel debut as a director for 2017's Thor: Ragnarok . Not only that, but Waititi also portrayed Korg in the threequel. Many would agree that the Oscar-winning director single-handedly revived the Thor franchise by successfully rebranding the titular Asgardian into one of the entertaining heroes of the MCU.  Ragnarok featured a plethora of hilarious moments featuring Chris Hemsworth's Marvel hero while also showcasing memorable scenes involving Tom Hiddleston's Loki and Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie. The MCU film also marked an in-universe shift for Thor as it destroyed Asgard and most of Thor's important allies died, such as the Warrior's Three and the Allfather, Odin.  ADVERTISEMENT As a result of Ragnarok 's success, Waititi was hired again by Marvel for a fourth solo film, Thor: Love and Thunder , headlined by Hemsworth's Thor. This marks the first time that an MCU hero will receive such a feat, thu...

Fans and critics alike were blown away by Marvel Studios and Sony's  Spider-Man: No Way Home,  a movie which saw a cavalcade of special appearances from Marvel's past grace the silver screen. Among those who cropped up were previous cinematic Spider-Men, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, as well as a host of old Spider-Villains after Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige convinced fans not to expect anything of the sort. But for superfans of Netflix and Marvel's smash hit series,  Daredevil , no cast member proved more significant than Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock, who starred as the Man Without Fear for three seasons of his own solo series.

Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to crush at the box office, having only recently been dethroned from the number one spot thanks to Scream . The Tom Holland adventure is the latest MCU adventure, following Peter Parker as he tries to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by Mysterio’s frame job. The film's scale is immense, introducing the Multiverse and bringing back characters such as Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin. One of the biggest returns, especially if fan reaction has anything to say about it, was Andrew Garfield’s return as Spider-Man. The actor was last seen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and had not said much about the role since it was taken away from him shortly after the financial and critical failure of that project. ADVERTISEMENT His involvement was a secret that Garfield tried his best to keep. Despite all the evidence and leaks, the former Marvel star insisted that he wasn’t a part of No Way Home . It seem...

Now, the three live-action Peter Parkers are a part of the most financially successful Spider-Man solo movie in history and one of the best-reviewed comic book movies ever made.
