Thor: Love and Thunder Director Wanted to Introduce a Thor Fans Wouldn't Want

ThorLoveAndThunder helmer says he wanted to introduce a version of the character fans wouldn't want.

When Thor: Love and Thunder hits theaters this weekend, it will mark the second film in the franchise helmed by Taika Waititi. Though the first two features featured a more classic Shakespearean take on the Asgardian, Waititi's version of the God of Thunder has been a complete reinvention. In fact, the filmmaker said in one recent interview we wanted to turn the character into a version longtime fans wouldn't even recognize.

Coincidentally enough, Chris Hemsworth said earlier this year he grew bored of the character before Waititi boarded the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Thor: Ragnarok.
