　　Waititi was himself replying to a tweet from Ant-Man director Peyton Reed, who wished him well on the first day of production.

　　The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor once more, with Mark Ruffalo joining him in his role as the Hulk. The impressive cast also includes the likes of Cate Blanchett, Karl Urban, and Jeff Goldblum. Blanchett is know to be playing a villainous character, while Goldblum will portray immortal games-playing Grandmaster.

　　In a recent interview with The Verge to promote his acclaimed new film Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Waititi spoke about the experience of moving from low budget independent productions to the big budget world of Marvel. "It hasn't been that different," he said. "So far it's been good! I've been more organized, which is saying something, for a guy like me to be organized. I'm surrounded by really intelligent, amazing people. I've got access to great minds and great resources. So I'm at a real advantage.

　　"In terms of the studio thing, these people don't act like a studio. They're cool, smart storytellers. I've been enjoying hanging out with them. And I've made commercials, so I've worked with the worst people in the world."

　　Waititi also explained that he was hoping to make Ragnarok a film that still contained the comedic sensibilities of his earlier films. "I've got to bring as much of myself as I can to this, and then see how it goes," he said. "You obviously need people overseeing the bigger picture, the next five movies or whatever. Otherwise we'd all be left to our own devices, and God knows what would happen."

　　Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3, 2017.
