As it turned out, the script for Thor 3 penned by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle is "žtoo dark". So the production needed a director to lighten things up, and Taika Waititi joined the crew to helm Thor: Ragnarok. But will Waititi satisfy Chris Hemsworth's expectations?
In a recent interview for Cinemablend, Hemsworth talked, besides "In the Heart of the Sea", about his expectations with Thor 3. He definitely wants it to be different from the previous installments that were actually comedic enough in comparison with other Marvel's productions. What would Chris Hemsworth add to the third Thor adventure is some wittiness, the Guardians of the Galaxy kind of wit:
"I think [Thor 3] needs to be injected with that sort of smart wit and unexpected kind of humor, kind of what James Gunn came in and did with Guardians [Of The Galaxy]. It was like off center and unpredictable, and I think we can definitely use a dose of that, you know?"
Thor and Thor: The Dark World were light, humorous but how much room could've been for comedy among family scrimmage and politics?
The Director of Thor 3 Will Try Something Different
To bring the kind of humor from Guardians of the Galaxy is a difficult business, but bringing Waititi in the game adds up to what Thor 3 wants to be. And Hemsworth is excited to have a director like Waititi helming his third solo outing:
"I feel we had less of the sort of the naivety or fun or humor that the first [Thor] might have had. I wish we had more of that in the second [movie] "¦ We've done regal. We've done Shakespeare, and we've shown that. I think now it's time to go, ‘Ok, cool. Let's try something different,’ and Taika just had such a brilliant sort of take and funny kind of ideas about where we could [go], how we could do that."
The movie has already shown signs that the story is moving into a different direction, and with Hulk and Thor being "buddies", we've heard already that it will be a "buddy adventure".
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled to premiere in the cinemas November 3, 2017.
