The inclusion of “ Planet Hulk” comic characters like Miek and Kronan in Ragnorak is great news for book purists-but the addition of Waititi to the cast is good news for everyone. The other space fighter potentially joining Thor and Hulk in the ring is Miek, another comic book character that Waititi describes as “insectoid with a crab mouth.” Miek-who also comes from the comics-is a more nimble fighter. He’s also got a massive club and, when it comes to fighting, is something of a “slugger.” Anthony also discusses the recent news that Disney is in talks to buy 20th Century Fox. “In New Zealand,” he said with a grin, “this is what we wear.” But the motion tests Waititi showed prove that Korg isn’t all smiles and man-kinis. On this episode of the Rock & Comics podcast, host Anthony Esparza reviews the new Marvel Studios film, Thor : Ragnarok, and the new Netflix series, Stranger Things 2. Waititi joked that in the most recent Korg concept art, the Kronan had been given “the latest” fashion when it comes to leather battle man-kinis. a gray mo-cap suit, drolly explaining to a confused and wound-up Thor how Goldblum’s intergalactic gladiatorial fighting ring operates. The scene screened for journalists featured Waititi in what he referred to as “emasculation pajamas” (a phrase coined by Mark Ruffalo), a.k.a. The new design allows for more range of emotion and expression on the Kronan’s face, which will come in handy as he befriends Thor and shows him the ropes. But because “there wasn’t enough chicken and salmon in New Zealand” to sustain the muscles of both The Rock and Chris Hemsworth, Waititi said, he instead cast himself in the mo-cap part.īut the character is getting a kinder, gentler makeover (both physically and emotionally) for Ragnarok. Waititi jokingly said that because the creature was made of rocks and needed to be effortlessly charismatic, warm, and funny, he wanted to cast Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the role. a hulking rock beast from the comics-think a gladiator version of the Rockbiter from The Neverending Story, or a more nimble The Thing. His name is Korg, “like the piano,” Waititi announced, before showing off some concept art and rough footage. The reincarnation of Thor, god of thunder. Thor director Taika Waititi was on hand to reveal one of the new characters in Ragnorak, played by. David Stakston as Magne Seier, returns to Edda as a high school student. Loki got a pretty good cast for his hagiography: Matt Damon plays Loki, Sam Neill plays Odin, and Thor is portrayed by Westworld actor and Chris Hemsworth’s real-life older brother, Luke. Marvel invited a small group of journalists into its newly renovated offices on the Disney Studios lot Monday night to unveil footage, art, and secrets behind the studio’s packed upcoming slate. But it turns out that the film also features a pair of characters that Marvel has been carefully keeping under wraps-until now. Cate Blanchett is a goth Tessa Thompson is a bad-ass warrior Jeff Goldblum is, well, Goldblum. With a very popular trailer already out, Marvel fans probably thought they already knew everything there was to know about the cast of Thor: Ragnarok.
