Celebrities, they’re just like us: stuck at home and watching old movies to help pass the time while social distancing. Although, if you’re Taika Waititi and you’re choosing to rewatch Thor: Ragnarok<\/em> <\/em>with pals Mark Ruffalo and Tessa Thompson, it’s a bit more elaborate.<\/p>\n

Waititi hosted an Instagram Live watch party of Ragnarok <\/em>on Thursday night, intent on providing commentary about the 2017 Marvel film he directed. Instead, Waititi’s stream turned into an impromptu Q&A session with tens of thousands of fans who tuned in, back-and-forth bantering with Ruffalo (Bruce Banner) and Thompson (Valkyrie), and a few updates on his upcoming Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The live stream was a typical Waititi affair, with less overall commentary on the film and more hilarious random hijinks that are equally if not more entertaining. (If you’re looking for actual director’s commentary, there’s always the Blu-ray.) Prepare for moments of pure, unadulterated joy as Waititi joyously declares that he misses Ruffalo, and Ruffalo responds, “I miss you too, baby.” Baby! The utter bromance between these two. This is the true magic of Marvel productions.<\/p>\n

When Thor: Ragnarok <\/em>was released in 2017, it was praised for pivoting away from the try-hard Shakespearean version of the Norse god that Kenneth Branagh set up in 2011. Waititi reestablished Thor’s character and leaned into the zaniness of gods, aliens, and miscreants in space. Love and Thunder <\/em>will build on work done in Ragnarok<\/em>, with Waititi describing it as something that came out of a 10-year-old’s imagination.<\/p>\n
