So, which four characters did Taika Waititi play in Thor: Ragnarok. Related: Taika Waititi Says He Will "Ruin" The 'Star Wars' Feature Film He's Working On Turns out, Taika Waititi secretly got to play a number of different characters while filming was underway. Thor: Ragnarok now has a lasting legacy in the MCU, and lots of details have emerged about the making of the film. I don’t care."Ĭlearly, Waititi knew just what the MCU was needing, and after Thor: Ragnarok made over $850 million at the box office, it became quite clear that Taika was going to be part of the MCU's future in a major way. My style of working is I’ll often be behind the camera, or right next to the camera yelling words at people, like, ‘Say this, say this! Say it this way!’ I’ll straight-up give Anthony Hopkins a line reading. Taika took a unique approach while directing Ragnarok, as he let the cast improvise a ton of their dialogue.Īccording to Waititi, "I would say we improvised probably 80 percent of the film, or ad-libbed and threw in stuff. Taika Waititi brilliantly directed the film, and with his unique brand of humor in tow, Marvel had another gigantic hit on their hands. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Jeff Goldblum, and Tessa Thompson.2017's Thor: Ragnarok was a film that completely reshaped Thor as a charcater, and this massive change proved to be just what the character had been needing all along. The latest entry in the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe, director Taika Waititi’s ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ is now playing in theaters everywhere. However, when it came time to flesh out Korg’s backstory, the comic retconned him into being one of the titular ‘Stone Men from Saturn’ who bedeviled Thor when the thunder god made his first appearance in ‘Journey into Mystery #83’
As in the film, Korg had been abducted and forced into slavery alongside the Hulk as a gladiator on Sakaar. Korg’s comic book counterpart was first introduced by writer Greg Pak and artist Carlo Pagulayan during the ‘Planet Hulk’ storyline in ‘Incredible Hulk #93’.
But while it likely wasn’t intentional, Korg’s retconned introduction into the MCU mirrors his debut in the comics. They didn’t quite look exactly like that, but that was our nod to his very first appearance.”Īs the character was never named onscreen (to say nothing of the differences in appearance and behavior between the two versions), it’s probably safe to treat ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ as Korg’s first appearance in the MCU the character seen in ‘Thor: The Dark World’ as simply another Kronan. The Stone Men from Saturn, of course, was the very first bad guys that Thor fought in his very first issue. But this character’s also known as a Stone Man from Saturn. And Vanaheim, of course, is what this world is and seeing the rock monster, Korg, who fans may know. And one of the things we talked about when we started developing this film was wanting to see more of them. “You know, the comics of Thor obviously take place on many different worlds, all of the nine worlds. While this creature is unnamed in the film, he is identified as Korg by director Alan Taylor in the audio commentary: Early in ‘The Dark World’, Thor makes fairly short work of rather large rock monster. After all, it was in ‘Thor: The Dark World’, which may actually be the least memorable entry in the Marvel canon. But do you remember Korg’s prior appearance in the MCU? If not, we can hardly blame you. As one of the more fun members of the film’s ensemble, it’s fair to say that the Kronan Korg made an impression in ‘Thor: Ragnarok’.
