Taika Waititi says he had no interest in directing Thor Ragnarok, reveals why he did it: I was poor, had a second child

Filmmaker Taika Waititi has revealed that he 'had no interest' in directing a Marvel movie. During his appearance in actor Jason Bateman's Smartless podcast, Taika said that he took the opportunity to direct Thor: Ragnarok for financial reasons. He also said that as a child he didn't like Marvel's Thor comic books. About Thor: Ragnarok Ragnarok followed the initial film by Kenneth Branagh in 2011 and the Alan Taylor-directed 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World. The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor alongside Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, Mark Ruffalo, and Anthony Hopkins.
