Taika Waititi Has a Very Specific

$25/hr Starting at $25

Thor: Love and Thunder” fans petitioning online for an extended director’s cut from Taika Waititi probably shouldn’t hold their breath.

In a recent interview with NME, the “Love and Thunder” and “Thor: Ragnarok” writer and director admitted that he hasn’t liked the director’s cuts of other films that are out there, so why would he contribute to the practice?

“I watch director’s cuts of a lot of other directors. They suck,” Waititi said. “Director’s cuts are not good. Directors need to be controlled sometimes, and if I was to say, ‘Oh, you wanna watch my director’s cut? It’s 4.5 hours long!’ It’s not good, at 4.5 hours. There’s a lot of cup-of-tea breaks in there. You don’t even have to pause it.”

If this weekend’s box office is any indication, it seems that fans are still plenty happy with the 2-hour version. “Thor: Love and Thunder” raked in $143 million domestically, making it the third biggest opening weekend of the year and the fifth biggest opening weekend for a Marvel Cinematic Universe release ever.

Pressed on what his director’s cut might feature, though, and, ever the funnyman, Waititi said that he might’ve tried to squeeze a few more jokes into the script.

“I’d say my cut would probably have a few more jokes in there,” he concluded, before waxing on days of yesteryear when deleted scenes on DVD menus were a thing.

وتابع: "قد يكون هناك بعض المشاهد المحذوفة". "ولكن كما أقول دائمًا ، يتم حذف المشهد لأنه ليس جيدًا بما يكفي ليكون في الفيلم. أعتقد أن قسم المشاهد المحذوفة على قرص DVD ، وليس أنهم يستخدمونها بعد الآن ، يجب أن يكون مجرد قائمة بالمشاهد وليس هناك روابط لذلك لا يمكنك النقر عليها ".

أخبر وايتيتي سابقًا Collider أن أول مقطع له من الفيلم - والذي أطلق عليه كريس هيمسوورث "batsh-t crazy" - كان مدته أربع ساعات ، لكنه أوضح أنه كان أكثر من تجميع أكثر من كونه قطعًا حقيقيًا للفيلم. قال: "حقًا ، حوالي خمس مرات ، يتخلى عن القصة تمامًا مثل 10 أو 15 دقيقة من سرد النكات فقط".
