Taika Waititi said that he does not read the Comics:
When Taika Waititi was asked, “How much do you feel like you understand all the interlocking MCU stories now?”, he said:
“I don’t do any research into all of the threads and storylines of Marvel because there’s too many and I don’t know half the characters. I don’t want to read any of the comics. I just want to do my film, just put the things in, then have them say, “You can’t do that because that messes with this whole storyline.” There are so many iterations of this film. I would want to take a character and put it in the film or kill off a character, but it affects all these different things I have no idea about.”
Taika Waititi was also asked about the portrayal of Queer characters in the movie, and if he’s leaning into all of these opportunities. To that he said:
“What I love about the pirate show is that it’s so normalized. No character ever says, “I can’t believe they’re gay.” They can’t believe those two characters got together, that’s all. Who would’ve believed they’d get together? But it’s just a given that there’s queerness on the high seas. And in this film, more importantly, what we did with my character Korg — who talks about the relationships that the Kronans have — or Valkyrie, who’s bi.
It’s the idea that these things just are, in a Marvel film, in a mainstream film that young, queer people will see. They’ll watch this film and be like, oh, it’s a Thor film about a heterosexual, very Aryan-looking space Viking, but there are other characters in there and it’s normalized. No one bats an eyelid and there’s no monologue about it. Nobody ever stands up and says “This is OK!” It just is OK. I think that’s very important. It’s the same thing as the first time people saw a female superhero. It’s just so normal now. It’s so cool because kids can see this stuff and feel like even in these tiny moments in a giant film like this, at least there’s something that’s making them feel seen.”
Thor: Love and Thunder is now playing in the theaters.
