Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi teases Comic-Con mockumentary with ‘Purple Man in the Floating Chair’ artwork

July 29, 2016 by Gary Collinson

During the San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel screened a sizzle reel for Thor: Ragnarok shot by director Taika Waititi, which took the form of a mockumentary that fins Chris Hemsworth’s Thor living with a room mate in New Zealand as he takes a well-earned break from Avenging and continues his investigations into “the purple man in the floating chair”.

Well, while the footage itself looks likely to remain exclusive to Comic-Con attendees (at least, until the Blu-ray, hopefully), but Waititi has given everyone else a brief glimpse, posting the following image of Thor’s investigative work to Instagram…

Thor: Ragnarok is being directed by Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows) and features Marvel veterans Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk alongside Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster and Karl Urban as Skurge. It is set for release on November 3rd, 2017.
