[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11104″ img_size=”600×400″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Thor Ragnarok’s Taika Waititi’s latest endeavor is the mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows, but Taika is in talks with Marvel for another film, just not Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, as he said he didn’t want to step into James Gunn’s arena. Taika, it’s worth noting that unfortunately, Gunn is not coming back, so please direct the third Guardians!
I digress, Taika recently, at the FX TCA panel, told SYFY WIRE [in regards to working with Marvel]:
“I want to do another movie with them, for sure.”
Meanwhile, Waititi has been brought in for Disney+’s streaming series for the Star Wars series, The Mandalorian:
“I really loved it,” he enthused. “[Jon] Favreau is a genius and so smart, and so good at what he does creating these worlds. The scripts are really great. It was fun doing something in the Star Wars universe. It’s every kid’s dream to just see a Stormtrooper, so when you’re doing scenes with 50 or 60 of them, it’s amazing. I loved it.”
Waititi then commented if there were any hints of his usual brand of improvisational comedy:
“The Star Wars universe is very different from the Marvel style. They know that whatever was set up in tone for the first films should be adhered to, and what the fans like. You can’t disrespect it, which is a nicer way of saying you can’t put too many jokes in them. But my tone is in there with the dialogue.”
He continued:
“For most kids growing up with those films, Boba Fett is a favorite character even though he’s barely in the films. Getting to see characters like that, and being in the shoot with them is pretty cool.”
Going into The Mandalorian, fans should know that Boba Fett is not the Mandalorian, just someone who wore the armor. Are you guys excited for the upcoming Star Wars content on Disney+? Let us know![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
A girl with too many fandoms to count.
