Chris Pratt is set to return to the role of Star-Lord in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder, which gave him the opportunity to work with director Taika Waititi. During an interview with Variety, the actor talked about his experience working with the director and said that Waititi was a “madman” and a “genius.”
He went on to say, “He is the kind of guy who can deliver an amazing movie… That’s the destination. The journey to getting there [is] just as fun as watching the movie. He’s vibrant, he’s always making the crew laugh, he’s doing bits. You can’t believe he’s the director.”
I mean, if you watch any of Waititi’s films, you can tell that people are having a great time while shooting his movies. It seems like he would be a lot of fun to hang out with and it’d be hard to keep up with his comedic wit. The guy is just super sharp and insanely funny.
Thor: Love and Thunder also features Chris Hemsworth back in the role of Thor, and it was announced that Christian Bale is playing Gore The God Butcher. On top of that Russell Crowe is playing Zeus, Natalie Portman is back in the role of Jane Foster, Karen Gillan is playing Nebula, and Tessa Thompson is reprising her role as Valkyrie.
Thor: Love and Thunder is currently set to arrive in theaters on May 6th, 2022.
