As the Russos did so well reinventing Captain America in The Winter Soldier and changing everything that would come after it, that is the plan for Thor: Ragnarok – to take Thor to another level of his own franchise.
All of Marvel’s Phase 3 films look to be trying to present unique experiences, and Thor 3 is no different.
He’s appeared in all his previous directing efforts, most notably as a major part of What We Do In The Shadows.
In light of Waititi’s recent comments, it’s very refreshing that “the plan” wasn’t just to ape what the brother duo did with The Winter Soldier and Civil War, but instead move in a unique direction just with the same level of confidence.
