Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) har avslutat inspelningen av kommande Thor: Ragnarök och i en nygjord intervju med Entertainment Weekly pratar regissören bland annat om inspirationskällor och bland annat var kultklassikern Big Trouble in Little China (med Kurt Russell i huvudrollen) av de dessa.
"It's not really a comedy. There are some really great moments we're going to have in the film. Knowing that it was Bruce Banner and Thor on kind of a road trip journey, that lends itself to a tone because those guys are both really funny. I was like you gotta exploit Chris' comic abilities. He's so good and underutilized in that department. He's legitimately one of the funniest things in this film. Big Trouble in Little China was one of those films where Jack Burton is a buffoon but he's lovable and you're with him the entire way. I thought Thor has got to be the one you want to be with in every scene."
Marvel Studios skriver följande om storyn:
Thor: Ragnarok picks up after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, where Thor left Earth and returned to Asgard after hearing about trouble on his home planet in the form of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who has taken the throne by impersonating their father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins). Unfortunately, Loki's rather lax governing leads to the reemergence of an imprisoned Hela (Cate Blanchett), who blasts Thor to Sakaar, a barbaric planet ruled by the charming but nefarious Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), a tough, hard-drinking warrior hiding out on Sakaar brings the god to the Grandmaster, after which he's forced into becoming a gladiator (and teams, eventually, with The Hulk).
