As filming ends on his latest Marvel project Thor: Love and Thunder, Taika Waititi turns his attention to his next foray into the Star Wars galaxy and his as-yet untitled film. While he is in the earliest stages of breaking the story, he does have a story in mind, and it’s set to be a typically ‘Taika’ kind of adventure.
Having finished filming on Thor: Love and Thunder, Waititi is now focusing more on his Star Wars film. “It’s still in the ‘EXT. SPACE’ stage,” he laughs, referring to the format scriptwriters use to set up a scene. “But we’ve got a story. I’m really excited by it because it feels very me.” Has it been a challenge to marry his irreverent tone with the operatically sincere Star Wars universe? “I tend to go down that little sincerity alleyway in my films,” he says. “I like to fool the viewer into thinking ‘ha it’s this’ and then them going, ‘Damn it, you made me feel something!’”
