Taika Waititi graced Instagram Live once again yesterday, and this time it was to honor his beloved film, Thor: Ragnarok. Since the quarantine began, Waititi has been pretty active on the social media site with fun posts ranging from having his kids cut his hair to jokingly announcing he was quitting film. Yesterday’s Live was a special treat for Marvel fans as it featured guest appearances by Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) and Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk). Fans clearly loved the event and have taken to Twitter to relive their favorite moments.

Waititi also spent a portion of his stream talking about his upcoming movie, Thor: Love and Thunder. Between discussing Korg’s backstory, debunking rumors, addressing whether or not Loki will appear in the new film, and teasing X-Men villains, the live stream was full of exciting Thor tidbits. It’s certainly no surprise Marvel fans can’t stop talking about the live stream on Twitter. Here are some of the best tweets from fans about Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok watch party…

And Yet… Still Captivating

Taika Waititi’s doing a “live commentary” of Thor on Instagram. He’s streaming it on his laptop, walking away from it constantly, and his internet keeps cutting out. God bless him

In addition to Thor: Love and Thunder, Waititi is also working on Next Goal Wins, which is based on the documentary of the same name. The film followed the American Samoa soccer team and their Dutch coach, Thomas Rongen, as he attempted “the nearly impossible task” of transforming the team into “perennial losers into winners.” It was also recently announced that Waititi will be making two Charlie and the Chocolate Factory shows for Netflix.

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to hit theaters on February 8th, 2022.
