1
00:00:04,295 --> 00:00:05,547
Welcome, heroes.
2
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:08,925
Your journey has been a long one.
3
00:00:11,136 --> 00:00:12,929
Now what will you do with all that power?
4
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,227
You know what I will do?
5
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:23,106
First, I will heal my wife and my son,
6
00:00:24,983 --> 00:00:26,276
and all the afflicted.
7
00:00:30,947 --> 00:00:33,533
They say that
a water demon brings this plague.
8
00:00:34,951 --> 00:00:36,828
Well, I will find it and I will kill it.
9
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:42,542
And I will find the god who sent it,
and I will kill it.
10
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:45,295
It's been long time
since I've seen you smile.
11
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:47,422
I guess I smile when I see you.
12
00:00:47,756 --> 00:00:49,215
WOMAN: Can you smile with your eyes?
13
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:52,218
Turn aside, go back to where you came
or perish...
14
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:54,304
FEIGE: There are lot of ways
to go with Thor.
15
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:58,016
He's been drawn with more muscles
than any human can possibly have,
16
00:00:58,183 --> 00:00:59,851
with long, flowing blond hair.
17
00:00:59,934 --> 00:01:02,062
But we knew early on
that we didn't want to
18
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:06,024
just cast a body builder
or just cast a wrestler.
19
00:01:06,107 --> 00:01:08,735
I'm sure there are some
that can act very, very well.
20
00:01:08,818 --> 00:01:12,697
But we said let's find the actor first and
see if we can build on to the body.
21
00:01:13,281 --> 00:01:16,034
We did what was right.
22
00:01:16,659 --> 00:01:17,869
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
23
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:25,251
His very impressive-looking physique
that looks like
24
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:27,921
it can take that kind of
intense physical build-up
25
00:01:28,004 --> 00:01:29,547
we're gonna have to put him through,
26
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:32,675
an intelligence, an acting intelligence
that is very special,
27
00:01:33,218 --> 00:01:36,262
and ability to tap into
his primal side as well.
28
00:01:37,847 --> 00:01:40,225
FEIGE: You can't help but watch him.
He has a presence.
29
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:41,309
I love you, Mom.
30
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:42,519
I love you.
31
00:01:42,685 --> 00:01:43,937
He's got a humor about him.
32
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:45,021
I need a horse.
33
00:01:45,355 --> 00:01:47,357
Of course. Of course.
34
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:50,151
BRANAGH: We waited
until we felt in our bones
35
00:01:50,235 --> 00:01:52,362
we've got exactly
the right person for Thor,
36
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:53,655
and Chris Hemsworth is that.
37
00:01:53,738 --> 00:01:56,032
HEMSWORTH: The idea of it being finished
has been sort of this
38
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:58,785
light at the end of the tunnel
for, yeah, a long time.
39
00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:01,246
And now being here is sort of like,
"Shit, now what do I do?"
40
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:11,297
-This doesn't make any sense.
-Nah, nothing makes sense here, man.
41
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:14,425
The only thing that does make sense
is that nothing makes sense.
42
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:16,719
Has anyone here fought
the Grandmaster's champion?
43
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:17,804
WAITITI: Cut.
44
00:02:17,887 --> 00:02:19,264
I freaking cut.
45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,640
Cut.
46
00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:22,142
Taika, I just love working with him.
47
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:24,144
We have a great thing,
we've become great friends,
48
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:26,187
and that certainly is a huge advantage
49
00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:28,940
because you just shortcut to
whatever the point is.
50
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:32,902
WINDERBAUM: When we set out
to make Thor three,
51
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:36,781
we knew we could blow the franchise
wide open.
52
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:39,951
We had an opportunity
to reinvent the character completely.
53
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:48,001
Ragnarok was obviously
a huge change for us
54
00:02:48,084 --> 00:02:50,461
and really moved the needle into
55
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:55,133
such a different territory
than we'd originally started.
56
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:01,723
Of all the Avengers,
maybe it was an advantage to
57
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:05,018
be the underdog at a certain point
because there was a...
58
00:03:05,435 --> 00:03:09,272
It definitely gave me a kind of
a real competitive push
59
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:11,232
and a want or a need to go,
60
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:13,943
"I can do something different.
I can do better with this character."
61
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:17,113
WAITITI: I've always said Chris is
the kind of person who you feel
62
00:03:17,238 --> 00:03:21,784
like is fun, and he's a good friend.
63
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:25,371
And he's the kind of person that
you would want to be on an adventure with.
64
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,416
Because he does like to look after people
and he is an adventurer.
65
00:03:28,917 --> 00:03:30,710
I think that's what you want
in a superhero.
66
00:03:31,169 --> 00:03:34,130
-And it's the... Right there.
-Yeah. All right. Catch.
67
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,424
WAITITI: When I came on to do Ragnarok,
I basically said,
68
00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,593
"Look, man, you just gotta be
more of yourself."
69
00:03:38,676 --> 00:03:39,677
Roll.
70
00:03:39,802 --> 00:03:41,221
"Make the character funny."
71
00:03:41,304 --> 00:03:43,848
I swear I'm not even moving.
It's just doing this on its own.
72
00:03:44,015 --> 00:03:46,684
WAITITI: Concentrate on making him
more of a Chris Hemsworth.
73
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:48,019
Yes!
74
00:03:49,437 --> 00:03:51,689
So much has happened
since I last saw you.
75
00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:56,819
I lost my hammer, like, yesterday.
So that's still pretty fresh.
76
00:03:57,153 --> 00:04:00,657
HEMSWORTH: Both of us were like, "Can we
really raise the bar with Ragnarok?"
77
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:03,785
And I remember
coming out of Ragnarok, going into
78
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:05,995
Infinity War and Endgame,
79
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:09,082
and very adamant about trying to hang onto
the new version of Thor
80
00:04:09,165 --> 00:04:10,917
and not go back to the old version.
81
00:04:11,501 --> 00:04:14,420
I had some of the funnest stuff I had
in Infinity War and Endgame.
82
00:04:14,712 --> 00:04:16,422
And then Love and Thunder.
83
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:18,424
There's a huge amount of pressure
coming into this.
84
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,178
He's got tight,
blue denim jeans on, a tank top.
85
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:25,306
His hair's flowing. Instead of it being...
86
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:27,850
-Ah! Elegant.
-It should... We're just saying that.
87
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:30,144
Like, every move is like...
(MAKES DRAMATIC SOUND)
88
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:31,271
-You know?
-WAITITI: Everyone, it's amazing.
89
00:04:31,354 --> 00:04:33,022
HEMSWORTH:
And then everything's like...
90
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,692
A little bit flamboyant, like,
a double kick, like...
91
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:37,735
-Shit you'd never get away with normally.
-WAITITI: Yeah.
92
00:04:37,819 --> 00:04:40,154
HEMSWORTH: Which adds to the like,
(SIGHS) "What is he doing?"
93
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:42,782
And everything's just got
a little flair to it, like...
94
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:44,701
-A flourish.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
95
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:46,786
I just think that he's so like...
96
00:04:46,869 --> 00:04:47,870
WAITITI: Yeah.
97
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:50,164
-Find cool poses, all of that stuff.
-He could... He's like...
98
00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:53,126
Yeah, on the camera.
They are on record. I support this.
99
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:56,087
This is probably... This is actually...
'Cause we had a... That's your idea.
100
00:04:57,046 --> 00:05:00,216
-We're all in it. So, yeah.
-You basically are just underneath me.
101
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:01,843
-Yeah.
-It is my idea.
102
00:05:01,926 --> 00:05:04,595
-Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
-I would've thought about this.
103
00:05:04,679 --> 00:05:06,014
'Cause you built me, you own me.
104
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:07,223
I knew you'd say that.
105
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:10,476
Thor is actually now our
longest-running franchise character.
106
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,353
This is the first time
we've done a fourth movie.
107
00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:14,522
And I think with that
there's some expectations
108
00:05:14,605 --> 00:05:16,024
to keep building upon it.
109
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,318
Memorable and different.
110
00:05:18,818 --> 00:05:22,030
And a big like kickoff to
the film and the action.
111
00:05:22,113 --> 00:05:24,657
When we set out to make a fourth film,
112
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:26,909
we knew we couldn't make Ragnarok
all over again.
113
00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:30,121
We had to find, you know,
new angles, new surprises
114
00:05:30,204 --> 00:05:32,123
and new places to take these characters.
115
00:05:32,206 --> 00:05:33,875
Wait, wait, wait. Play that one.
116
00:05:33,958 --> 00:05:35,251
No, go back. Play that.
117
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:38,004
-MAN: Thor... Sif...
-Sif?
118
00:05:38,379 --> 00:05:41,174
-MAN: Yep, that's Sif what?
-(HEMSWORTH SNORTS)
119
00:05:41,257 --> 00:05:44,010
-(MAN LAUGHING)
-I'm sorry. It killed me.
120
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:47,722
With the Guardians, it's just a very
different pace with that group, you know?
121
00:05:47,805 --> 00:05:49,599
A lot of improvisation, which is
122
00:05:50,224 --> 00:05:53,227
very much how we worked on Thor: Ragnarok.
123
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:54,896
Charger? Maybe you need a charger?
124
00:05:54,979 --> 00:05:57,065
Of course I need to charge it.
I don't know where the dock is...
125
00:05:57,148 --> 00:05:59,317
THOR: Who put you in charge?
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!
126
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,069
HEMSWORTH: It's never kind of...
127
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:03,613
You're competing for jokes.
It's basically about
128
00:06:03,696 --> 00:06:06,783
what's the funniest moment
within this scene that we can find
129
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:08,284
and kinda help you share the load.
130
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:11,204
And whoever has the button
or the punchline, doesn't really matter,
131
00:06:11,287 --> 00:06:14,290
it's just about hitting the target,
and it's fun.
132
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:17,418
I don't know which is worse, but it's why
I keep everyone at arm's length.
133
00:06:20,129 --> 00:06:22,423
You've grown too attached.
Damn it, I knew this would happen.
134
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:23,508
You must go.
135
00:06:23,591 --> 00:06:26,302
There's a kind of humor to it
and sort of irony
136
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:30,390
and a wackiness that
seems to fit mine and Taika's brain.
137
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:33,893
Lazybones.
138
00:06:34,018 --> 00:06:35,353
Let's go.
139
00:06:35,436 --> 00:06:38,189
Asleep? Sleeping on the job, are we?
(GRUMBLES) Lazy.
140
00:06:38,272 --> 00:06:40,900
Just being here at the back,
try going a little bit longer,
141
00:06:40,983 --> 00:06:44,404
so I might get a shot on you from
the front just going... You know?
142
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:46,989
I've been told you can summon them
with a special whistle...
143
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:48,658
that goes something like this...
(WHISTLES)
144
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:50,743
No, that's not it. (WHISTLES)
No, that's not it.
145
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:53,996
Summoning. Summoning goats.
146
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:57,458
It's just a joy to watch Taika play Korg
147
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,544
because, obviously,
he's going back and forth
148
00:06:59,627 --> 00:07:01,462
between directing and playing Korg.
149
00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:06,050
And because it's motion capture,
he has all these dots on his face.
150
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:09,971
So you're trying to take him seriously
in one moment giving you direction,
151
00:07:10,054 --> 00:07:12,306
and then suddenly he's Korg again
152
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:16,102
with the head attached to him
and his furry boots.
153
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:19,313
Taika, of course, as we know,
is an improvisational filmmaker.
154
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:21,190
Add a bit more rock stuff here, Shane.
155
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:23,776
Let's just bring it up here.
This is where Rocket's gonna be.
156
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:27,071
So Sean... Sean, we're gonna
map you over here, actually.
157
00:07:27,697 --> 00:07:30,241
MORRISON: It's honestly when your brain
is the most fully engaged
158
00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:32,743
because there are no limitations.
159
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:36,456
With a lot of filmmakers,
there's responsible practicality,
160
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:39,834
where you look at what you can do,
and T just doesn't do that.
161
00:07:39,917 --> 00:07:43,087
He just thinks of the end product,
as in like, "What would be cool?"
162
00:07:43,212 --> 00:07:46,466
"What would be the coolest thing to see?"
'Cause he's 90%
163
00:07:46,549 --> 00:07:49,051
there in the audience
already watching the film he's making.
164
00:07:50,386 --> 00:07:52,221
-That's what I made here, so...
-You're throwing it to those guys there.
165
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,390
-I can look there as well. So there.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
166
00:07:56,058 --> 00:08:00,104
I think Taika, he's like a big kid.
His imagination is second to none.
167
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:03,399
From the very first time
we worked together,
168
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:06,068
it was about doing something new,
you know,
169
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:07,612
and not getting put in a box.
170
00:08:12,366 --> 00:08:17,413
Taika is really good
at reflecting the way life can be.
171
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,999
Dark and comedic all at once.
172
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:21,667
The old ex-girlfriend.
173
00:08:21,751 --> 00:08:22,752
Jodie Foster.
174
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:23,878
Jane Foster.
175
00:08:23,961 --> 00:08:25,171
The one that got away.
176
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:28,758
Most of the time
when we're in our darkest moments,
177
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:31,928
we try and deflect it with humor,
you know,
178
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:34,096
or if it's absurd, so it's funny
179
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:37,600
because the darkest parts of life
are completely absurd.
180
00:08:37,683 --> 00:08:41,395
So, I think he really knows
how important the silly is
181
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:46,108
when the world is falling down.
182
00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:47,777
(LAUGHS)
183
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:50,488
Okay. Hold. They're not bad.
184
00:08:50,571 --> 00:08:54,951
Tragedy-comedy has been going hand in hand
for a couple of thousand years.
185
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,661
Yeah, and he does it impeccably.
186
00:08:56,744 --> 00:09:00,623
I think also it doesn't matter what sort
of genre, whether it's comic books,
187
00:09:00,706 --> 00:09:04,585
if the people involved are passionate
about it and are good storytellers,
188
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:07,296
it's transcendent experience. You know?
189
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,006
And with Taika, you get that.
190
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:13,844
It's the... Oh, boy!
Oh, well, let me get away with it.
191
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:19,892
One of the most exciting things about
working with Taika Waititi
192
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:25,815
is that he is very technical,
he's very aware, very savvy
193
00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:28,818
of all of the tools and the tricks,
194
00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:32,780
whether they be old-fashioned tricks
or new technology.
195
00:09:32,863 --> 00:09:34,490
We're shooting on The Volume.
196
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,993
It's the first time I've ever shot
inside of one of these things.
197
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:41,664
You can see the background projected
360 and up to the sky.
198
00:09:42,206 --> 00:09:44,959
Pretty spectacular.
So it's all in-camera.
199
00:09:45,042 --> 00:09:47,253
And it looks pretty amazing.
200
00:09:47,336 --> 00:09:50,256
This is the first Marvel film that has
utilized The Volume,
201
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:52,967
which is this amazing technology
202
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:56,429
that allows you to be
completely surrounded 360 degrees
203
00:09:56,512 --> 00:09:57,805
in a digital environment.
204
00:09:57,888 --> 00:10:02,560
It allows you to seamlessly place
practical sets with a digital world.
205
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,735
MORRISON: As pertains to The Volume,
206
00:10:10,818 --> 00:10:15,239
you're basically building a room
from LED panels,
207
00:10:15,323 --> 00:10:19,285
and so at a moment we can say,
we're in this world, or in that world,
208
00:10:19,368 --> 00:10:21,954
and then, literally,
the entire environment around the actors
209
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:23,039
will change in a heartbeat
210
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:25,374
in terms of the lighting
and the mood and the tone.
211
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:26,709
That's a game changer.
212
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,921
WAITITI: I had such a good experience
on Mandalorian with The Volume
213
00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:33,883
that I wanted to
bring that technology over to this shoot.
214
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:37,011
Resplendent skyscape, Rocky.
There are four suns.
215
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:38,638
What could be more relaxing than that?
216
00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:42,183
WAITITI: It's a wonderful tool, and, in
a way, you get a lot of stuff in-camera.
217
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:44,852
And, yeah, we only have to do
a few tweaks to it later on.
218
00:10:44,935 --> 00:10:46,937
And that's really good for the actors
219
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:49,106
to be able to see
the world that you've created.
220
00:10:49,231 --> 00:10:50,232
-Wow.
-Yeah.
221
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:51,567
Beautiful.
222
00:10:52,401 --> 00:10:53,819
THOR: So beautiful, so rare.
223
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:56,447
WAITITI: Being able to see it
in the moment as opposed to
224
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:58,032
just being in a world of blue,
225
00:10:58,824 --> 00:11:00,910
I think it helps with their performances.
226
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:05,790
HEMSWORTH: If you're standing
on the edge of a cliff, so to speak,
227
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:09,335
looking out into the sunset,
to actually be staring into a sunset,
228
00:11:09,418 --> 00:11:12,380
that certainly does pull out
certain emotions and reactions from you
229
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:16,592
that you may or may not get there
if it's your own imagination.
230
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:19,804
It's very different staring
at a blue screen or a green screen.
231
00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:23,641
You know, that's quite numbing
and does require a whole lot more effort.
232
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,894
THOMPSON: The Volume is incredible.
It essentially casts light
233
00:11:26,977 --> 00:11:29,563
on our faces, on the costumes.
234
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:31,899
It feels really, really immersive.
235
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:35,361
As impressive as The Volume is,
236
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:39,824
I think I was really blown away
entering New Asgard.
237
00:11:48,999 --> 00:11:50,543
Stand by for shoot.
238
00:11:50,626 --> 00:11:54,755
You can never really replace
just standing in a fully immersive set.
239
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:58,926
And perhaps one of the most impressive
sets we created was New Asgard,
240
00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:02,388
which was a complete town
in the middle of nowhere.
241
00:12:02,471 --> 00:12:05,975
And the second you stepped onto it,
you would just get completely lost.
242
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:10,020
That's pretty cool,
this town is all practical.
243
00:12:10,604 --> 00:12:11,814
Real houses.
244
00:12:12,189 --> 00:12:14,108
People live up here.
We've rented these rooms out.
245
00:12:14,191 --> 00:12:16,402
Tessa's actually staying in that room.
Tessa Thompson.
246
00:12:16,485 --> 00:12:18,738
Yeah, I think I'm just gonna
move in actually. Is that...
247
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:21,115
-That's cool, right?
-You got some Infinity Cones up here,
248
00:12:21,198 --> 00:12:23,743
-which is these delicious ice creams.
-Mmm-hmm.
249
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:26,328
I actually came up with the name
Infinity Cones.
250
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,664
It's a wordplay on Infinity Stones.
251
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:30,040
-Did you write it? I didn't think...
-Yeah.
252
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:32,168
-...that was you. I didn't...
-No, no, I did. (SHUSHING)
253
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:45,598
WAITITI: Going into this,
we knew people missed Natalie's character
254
00:12:45,681 --> 00:12:48,184
and was never really dealt with,
like, what happened to her.
255
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:51,437
The idea that she becomes
another version of Thor,
256
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,315
that just seemed like the perfect in,
257
00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:56,358
and the perfect way
to bring that character back.
258
00:13:01,197 --> 00:13:07,077
The elements that come with Jane becoming
The Mighty Thor are inherently dramatic.
259
00:13:07,161 --> 00:13:09,038
And in many ways, tragic.
260
00:13:09,121 --> 00:13:11,832
And Taika was very interested
about telling that story.
261
00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:14,502
I've loved Natalie from afar
for a long time
262
00:13:14,585 --> 00:13:16,045
and I've always wanted to work with her.
263
00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:19,799
Taika came over to my house
to talk to me about it
264
00:13:19,882 --> 00:13:25,179
because I had, kind of, you know,
of course, not been in the last film,
265
00:13:25,262 --> 00:13:27,890
which was so wonderful
and I really enjoyed watching.
266
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:33,687
WAITITI: Please welcome to the stage
Natalie Portman!
267
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:41,946
As a fan, I remember
watching the announcement
268
00:13:42,029 --> 00:13:45,115
and seeing Natalie take the hammer
from Taika at Comic-Con,
269
00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:48,577
and I was just so excited
that she was going to rejoin this film.
270
00:13:50,287 --> 00:13:53,666
PORTMAN: I just had been out of
the Marvel world for a while and...
271
00:13:53,749 --> 00:13:57,002
So, when he talked to me
about coming back and about how
272
00:13:58,003 --> 00:14:00,005
Jane would be The Mighty Thor,
273
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:03,008
it was interesting to get to consider
274
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:05,219
what that experience could be.
275
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:06,554
Mjolnir!
276
00:14:18,274 --> 00:14:21,819
She was, kind of... You know,
this was a very different direction
277
00:14:21,902 --> 00:14:24,238
for the character, and I think
had some real concerns about,
278
00:14:24,321 --> 00:14:27,992
"Hang on, does this match?
The continuity from this to that and..."
279
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:31,328
And we just said,
"That doesn't matter." Like, you know?
280
00:14:31,412 --> 00:14:33,080
That's what happened in Ragnarok.
281
00:14:33,163 --> 00:14:35,165
We went "Who cares about anything
we've done before?"
282
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:38,460
And so, it was just kind of a rebirth
or new exploration of the character,
283
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,129
and she was down for it.
284
00:14:48,512 --> 00:14:52,057
Natalie came in very early, ready to work.
285
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:54,560
She wanted to master everything
as much as possible,
286
00:14:54,643 --> 00:14:55,978
so she could do as much as possible.
287
00:14:56,061 --> 00:14:57,980
Despite having been
in lots of action movies,
288
00:14:58,063 --> 00:15:00,691
I'd never really done
any fight training or anything.
289
00:15:00,774 --> 00:15:03,152
Half is going from here,
pulling it back.
290
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:05,446
Remember when we did
that shuffle footwork?
291
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:08,949
Into that step.
And going over to kneel.
292
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:10,868
And you're going diagonal down.
293
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,289
It was really fun to get to train
294
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:18,250
for the first time in my life
to be strong, you know?
295
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:22,379
Usually, as women, we're training
to get small as possible.
296
00:15:22,463 --> 00:15:26,800
So it's exciting to actually
be working towards being bigger.
297
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:28,260
Stand down.
298
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:30,304
WINDERBAUM: Natalie showed up
in incredible shape.
299
00:15:30,387 --> 00:15:32,598
Like, she was ready to play Mighty Thor.
300
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,560
This is the heavy one.
I'm clearly not worthy.
301
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:40,022
Not really. But this one is...
302
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:45,486
Often, if we wanna create weight,
so your guns can show.
303
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:49,949
So, we will create a prop
in a heavy weight,
304
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:51,450
depending on the action.
305
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:54,662
And then we'll create them
in a lighter weight.
306
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:56,163
This one, as you can see.
307
00:15:56,580 --> 00:15:57,623
THOR: Excuse me.
308
00:15:57,706 --> 00:15:59,375
Hello, that's my hammer you've got there.
309
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:01,460
And that's my look.
310
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:06,131
PARK: For Mighty Thor,
we wanted to maintain a Thor feel...
311
00:16:06,215 --> 00:16:09,051
There's certain elements
that are iconically Thor.
312
00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:11,553
...while adding new elements throughout.
313
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:14,431
The helmet that we have,
314
00:16:14,515 --> 00:16:20,229
we went back to the old comic books
and got that vintage feeling for it.
315
00:16:20,854 --> 00:16:24,066
And we adapted to
the beautiful face of Natalie Portman,
316
00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:29,279
but we didn't want to hide
too much of her eyes and her features.
317
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:30,364
Hey.
318
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:33,909
It's very easy not to lose her
because she's unique.
319
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:36,078
WINDERBAUM: Those helmets
are really well-designed,
320
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:38,622
but they're not always
the most comfortable thing in the world.
321
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:40,582
Sometimes they're heavy,
they change your posture.
322
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:44,712
But if you can eliminate all of that
and have a VFX artist put it in later,
323
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:46,005
then that's what you do.
324
00:16:46,088 --> 00:16:47,881
Our CG artists have gotten so great
325
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:50,259
at creating reflective surfaces
like the helmet,
326
00:16:50,384 --> 00:16:53,637
that it actually helps us
from a performance standpoint.
327
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:58,684
BALE: Natalie does
a really beautiful job in this.
328
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:02,312
You know, there's some scenes
which are tough to watch.
329
00:17:02,396 --> 00:17:06,400
And she's really just
a wonderful heart and soul.
330
00:17:06,608 --> 00:17:07,609
As good as it gets.
331
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:13,615
It's a gift to see Natalie rediscover
and reimagine who Jane Foster is.
332
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,744
You think I really should be coming?
333
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,954
You're a Thor. Of course you should come.
334
00:17:19,663 --> 00:17:24,626
I think so often,
not just in these movies but in general,
335
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:28,338
it's really rare to get to
share the screen with other women.
336
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:30,716
Sometimes you're the only one.
337
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,969
And in this case,
I think it's really impactful,
338
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,055
particularly because
Jane Foster is a character
339
00:17:36,138 --> 00:17:38,432
that doesn't start off as a superhero.
340
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:43,562
PORTMAN: Tessa is such
a ferocious actress.
341
00:17:43,645 --> 00:17:48,525
We had a lot of fun getting to show,
I think, the sisterhood in battle.
342
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:54,573
THOMPSON: I've done a lot
of physical preparation.
343
00:17:54,823 --> 00:17:58,952
I just wanted to push myself to get
even stronger than I was on the last one.
344
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:00,996
The thing that really excites me is
345
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,709
getting to play a superhero
that bucked convention.
346
00:18:08,712 --> 00:18:12,966
And the opportunity
to get to bring this character to life.
347
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:16,178
This character that doesn't necessarily
look like me in the comics,
348
00:18:16,261 --> 00:18:19,264
but to capture her spirit
was a tremendous challenge,
349
00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:21,600
and to get to do it with people
that I admire and respect.
350
00:18:21,683 --> 00:18:23,811
This is the best day of my life!
351
00:18:29,149 --> 00:18:31,026
There's also a moment where everyone,
352
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,445
if you think about
as your primary school class...
353
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:35,823
CHAPEK: This is probably
the biggest Thor movie we've ever done.
354
00:18:37,908 --> 00:18:41,578
This movie introduces
so many amazing alien species,
355
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:43,288
monsters, creatures...
356
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:49,837
All right, there you go.
357
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:55,759
The Indigarrians, that was an army
of aliens, which was massive.
358
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:57,052
God of Thunder.
359
00:18:57,177 --> 00:18:58,178
King Yakan.
360
00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:00,264
JOHANSEN: It was a production line
for the Indigarrians.
361
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:01,431
We had some big days.
362
00:19:01,515 --> 00:19:05,853
The Indigarrians had brow pieces
and cheeks and they had big, scared eyes.
363
00:19:05,936 --> 00:19:07,855
We had people that were
sponging them blue,
364
00:19:07,938 --> 00:19:09,523
people that were
gluing on the prosthetics,
365
00:19:09,606 --> 00:19:13,152
people that were spray-painting them,
and powdering them, and...
366
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:16,029
Yeah, it was something to really see.
367
00:19:16,113 --> 00:19:18,323
Yes! Bucket list, tick.
368
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:20,826
CHAPEK: They're just so funny.
It's so effortless.
369
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:24,580
And then we have these amazing
alien owl-bikers called the Booskans.
370
00:19:30,752 --> 00:19:35,007
I drink the stiffest cordials and...
371
00:19:35,090 --> 00:19:36,091
MAN: Straight to the...
372
00:19:36,216 --> 00:19:39,845
And all the black jellybeans.
Black jellybeans.
373
00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:42,181
Whereas these guys eat colored jellybeans.
374
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:43,390
I can't stand them.
375
00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:45,809
JOHANSEN: The Booskans
were really interesting,
376
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:47,895
'cause they weren't originally
meant to be owl-creatures.
377
00:19:47,978 --> 00:19:49,354
The owl-heads that we see behind us
378
00:19:49,438 --> 00:19:52,191
were these warrior kind of mask.
379
00:19:52,274 --> 00:19:55,903
And then the real Habooskan character
was underneath that.
380
00:19:56,904 --> 00:20:00,616
The more we started designing and honing
in on the look of the Booskans, the mask,
381
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:02,201
the more that Taika was kinda like,
382
00:20:02,284 --> 00:20:04,203
"You know what?
I really like the look of these guys.
383
00:20:04,286 --> 00:20:06,246
"These guys should be the creatures,
384
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:09,041
"not so much the masks
that the Habooskan was wearing."
385
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,001
And I loved that.
I thought, you know, that's...
386
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:14,004
For a creature design,
I'd never seen anything like these guys.
387
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:21,803
Devastation all around.
388
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:23,972
-Our temple's been destroyed.
-We're donating goats.
389
00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:26,516
Apparently we're still giving away stuff
'cause that...
390
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,101
Yeah, that's kinda who we are.
391
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:29,269
We have nothing else.
392
00:20:29,353 --> 00:20:30,354
We got nothing.
393
00:20:30,437 --> 00:20:33,232
We got no temple or anything,
but we're still giving away our goats.
394
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:34,858
(GOATS SCREAMING)
395
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:36,485
No backsies.
396
00:20:37,986 --> 00:20:41,240
This movie is introducing
two new unexpected characters
397
00:20:41,323 --> 00:20:44,993
in Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder,
who are two space-travelling goats.
398
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:48,163
There's a Viking ship
that floats through space
399
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,749
that's being towed by giant goats
400
00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:52,709
who create fire with their hooves.
401
00:20:52,793 --> 00:20:53,877
It's gonna be nuts.
402
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:54,962
It's so good, right?
403
00:20:56,046 --> 00:20:58,131
Awesome. Really good.
404
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:03,345
Really good, really good, yeah. Really.
405
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:06,181
CHAPEK: You would think something
like that would be completely CG,
406
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,767
and you'd have no reference.
But we didn't do that.
407
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:10,227
It's very smooth.
408
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:14,356
CHAPEK: We actually created real-life
goat heads for VFX reference,
409
00:21:14,439 --> 00:21:16,566
but more so
just to be able to interact with them.
410
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,819
(BOTH LAUGHING)
411
00:21:19,486 --> 00:21:20,487
That's really awesome.
412
00:21:20,570 --> 00:21:22,698
They're huge, these things.
They're the size of, you know,
413
00:21:22,781 --> 00:21:24,283
Clydesdale horses.
414
00:21:24,449 --> 00:21:27,744
This is Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher.
415
00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:30,455
They were really the trickiest
thing we've done on this show.
416
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:32,249
Coming up with the design that was
417
00:21:32,332 --> 00:21:35,585
true to some of the early
visual development art that we received,
418
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:39,923
but giving them the most realistic finish,
wanting them to look real.
419
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:45,262
There's lot of designing, incredibly
detailed punched hair, silicon tongue,
420
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:50,100
got acrylic eyes in here.
The horns are hard.
421
00:21:50,267 --> 00:21:53,270
Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder
are absolute stars.
422
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:55,897
We loved writing for them.
423
00:21:56,189 --> 00:21:58,317
Retrace your steps.
Where did you put the remote?
424
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,651
One of these goats probably ate it!
425
00:21:59,735 --> 00:22:01,611
Goats didn't eat the remote.
Don't be ridiculous.
426
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:04,906
One of things that
the goats are really helpful with
427
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:08,243
is getting in and out of scenes
and infusing more fun into a movie
428
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:10,746
that already is incredibly fun.
429
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,957
One of those scenes
was the Grand Pantheon,
430
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:16,376
where we were like,
"How do we get in and out of this scene?
431
00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:18,211
"What is the fantastical way out?"
432
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:23,050
I did it.
433
00:22:23,592 --> 00:22:27,763
ROBINSON: Well, what if the goats smashed
through the top of the Pantheon
434
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:30,057
in the goat boat to save our heroes?
435
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:33,185
I don't know if that's possible,
'cause I come from small productions.
436
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,729
But this is Marvel, so, we got to do that.
437
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,692
Look up there. There's my god.
The God of Kronans. Ninny Nonnie.
438
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:42,611
I thought he was actually not real.
439
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:45,072
Oh, no,
they're all very real indeed, Korg.
440
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:47,407
(LAUGHING) I'm so sorry.
441
00:22:47,657 --> 00:22:50,702
ROBINSON: The Grand Pantheon is one of
the biggest set pieces in the film.
442
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:53,080
It's full of gods
from all over the Cosmos.
443
00:22:53,163 --> 00:22:58,126
So, we also get to include a lot of gods
and people from other MCU favorites.
444
00:22:58,210 --> 00:23:01,838
It's really about bringing
the whole MCU together in this one space
445
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,715
and having our characters exist
446
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:07,344
and feel like they are truly
a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
447
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:12,808
So, now flick. Right, good.
Good stuff, yeah.
448
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:15,102
But now you know
he's gonna step forward and...
449
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:16,603
You flicked too hard, damn it!
450
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:19,022
(SCREAMING)
451
00:23:19,689 --> 00:23:20,816
(LAUGHS)
452
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:26,822
Makeup-wise, in the Golden Temple,
we had 18, 20 gods to create.
453
00:23:26,988 --> 00:23:28,240
I'm playing Fur God.
454
00:23:28,615 --> 00:23:31,201
Although he's dyslexic,
so he likes to be known as Fur Dog.
455
00:23:31,326 --> 00:23:34,287
I'm gonna be up there and I'm gonna be
in a little hole and I have my little...
456
00:23:34,371 --> 00:23:35,580
Of course, you can't see here,
457
00:23:35,664 --> 00:23:38,333
but I have these little
furry feet-hands or hand-feet.
458
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:40,544
He's just gonna be chatting to Thor
about orgies and stuff.
459
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:50,387
You can see the level of detail they did
on the face. It's just astonishing.
460
00:23:50,679 --> 00:23:55,642
My favorite one was the Aztec god.
He looks like a glass mosaic in his face.
461
00:23:55,725 --> 00:23:59,729
He's got a suit. And then his face, hands,
and feet are painted.
462
00:23:59,896 --> 00:24:02,732
And the other challenge was Dionysus.
463
00:24:03,608 --> 00:24:06,486
Taika wanted Dionysus
to look like a marble statue.
464
00:24:06,611 --> 00:24:08,780
I was, like,
"Oh. How are we gonna do that?"
465
00:24:08,864 --> 00:24:11,199
because they'd never done it
on a movie before.
466
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:13,702
So, we said,
"Okay, let's try to do it."
467
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:20,000
We gave him a beard and he looked like,
with all these cracks from the marble,
468
00:24:20,083 --> 00:24:21,626
and we made him like a...
469
00:24:22,544 --> 00:24:26,298
I hope he was gonna love it,
because it was perfect.
470
00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:28,383
Two things.
471
00:24:29,217 --> 00:24:30,510
Number one.
472
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:34,806
I am so sorry to hear
of the death of your father.
473
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:37,309
Number two...
474
00:24:37,392 --> 00:24:39,269
Don't talk back to Zeus!
475
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:43,815
Zeus is a very powerful character
in the comics.
476
00:24:43,899 --> 00:24:46,401
Someone that goes back with Thor
a long way.
477
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,111
He's one of the most powerful gods.
478
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:49,613
And so, if you're gonna introduce Zeus,
479
00:24:49,696 --> 00:24:52,115
you need to introduce someone
who can walk those shoes.
480
00:24:52,699 --> 00:24:55,702
You! You are also uninvited to the orgy.
481
00:24:56,786 --> 00:24:57,787
In fact,
482
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:02,292
all the emotion gods are banned. Okay?
483
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:05,253
I've had enough.
You're too much hard work.
484
00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:07,589
Zeus, please, you must do something.
485
00:25:07,672 --> 00:25:10,592
My word is final!
486
00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:12,802
Zeus, you must listen to us.
487
00:25:12,886 --> 00:25:14,095
Okay.
488
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:20,060
Russell Crowe came in to play Zeus,
and I am a massive Russell Crowe fan,
489
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:22,729
and he's now become a friend,
and he's really funny.
490
00:25:22,812 --> 00:25:27,150
He allowed himself to enjoy that role
and to have fun doing it.
491
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:30,320
I just never thought
I'd never see the day with him,
492
00:25:30,403 --> 00:25:34,741
sort of semi-gladiator kind of imagery,
493
00:25:34,824 --> 00:25:39,120
yet just with a wink and totally
taking the piss out of himself.
494
00:25:39,204 --> 00:25:42,290
And self-deprecating
and didn't hold back either.
495
00:25:42,749 --> 00:25:46,795
Which was mind-blowing, you know.
It was fantastic.
496
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,759
I think we're so used to him
in these very strong, heroic roles.
497
00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:56,054
So it's fun to see him
be able to let loose.
498
00:25:56,346 --> 00:25:58,682
My hero, Zeus...
499
00:25:58,765 --> 00:25:59,766

(GODS GASP)
501
00:26:03,061 --> 00:26:06,648
THOMPSON: I never thought I would
see Russell Crowe in a tennis skirt.
502
00:26:06,982 --> 00:26:10,151
That's been a real joy.
It's been real nice to see.
503
00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:15,949
Like, I... Sometimes he walks past
my trailer in the tennis skirt.
504
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:19,369
And his perfectly curled, coifed hair.
505
00:26:19,452 --> 00:26:23,123
Basically, they did
a really fantastic job outfitting Russell.
506
00:26:23,206 --> 00:26:25,625
What about the others? Eh?
507
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:28,920
Russell said, "You guys are gonna
be too busy to look after me.
508
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:32,549
"So, let's make it easy. Let's choose
my own hair and my own beard."
509
00:26:33,049 --> 00:26:37,554
And we ended up using it, because he had
really long hair and a really long beard.
510
00:26:37,637 --> 00:26:40,056
So, what we did is, we styled that.
511
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:44,394
I made all these curls and fixed it
to make sure it stay all day.
512
00:26:44,811 --> 00:26:48,189
And it looked great.
He was a great Zeus.
513
00:26:48,898 --> 00:26:49,899
Yes!

(WHOOPING)
518
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:03,622
This is the hero Thunderbolt, which...
519
00:27:03,913 --> 00:27:06,625
This went through many design iterations.
520
00:27:07,042 --> 00:27:10,920
We have two different sizes,
depending on the character who's using it.
521
00:27:11,004 --> 00:27:13,673
We have multiple finishes.
522
00:27:13,757 --> 00:27:16,885
We have foam, soft, cut-off ones
523
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:19,971
for when they're doing action
and they can't actually throw this at all.
524
00:27:20,055 --> 00:27:21,723
Can we just have the...
525
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:25,352
Bill? Can we just have the short?
I don't want him to poke himself.
526
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:26,811
Yeah.
527
00:27:27,395 --> 00:27:28,438
Thank you very much.
528
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:31,608
No. It's getting better,
so we might not need it.
529
00:27:31,691 --> 00:27:32,692
That's a good thing.
530
00:27:32,942 --> 00:27:35,195
WILSON: We have a magnetic version.
531
00:27:35,278 --> 00:27:39,491
So the actors can strap it to their back
with a magnetic plate.
532
00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:43,953
This prop is
a very multi-use lightning bolt
533
00:27:44,037 --> 00:27:48,375
which took a lot of consideration
to figure out all its forms,
534
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:53,546
including one where the entire
lightning bolt lights up from the inside.
535
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,175
Ding! If you look in closely,
you can see some of the pixels.
536
00:27:57,258 --> 00:28:01,262
But it's just not quite as dotty
as the normal stuff that you come across.
537
00:28:01,554 --> 00:28:05,266
WILSON: The action of this prop,
when they use it, it turns into lightning.
538
00:28:09,771 --> 00:28:15,235
For us, it's been a feat where we're
creating a lot of props that are soft.
539
00:28:15,485 --> 00:28:18,530
Soft enough that
the stunt people can use them,
540
00:28:18,613 --> 00:28:23,368
because most of the action, when it's
meant to light up, occurs during stunts.
541
00:28:23,451 --> 00:28:27,080
MAN: On go. And three, two, one, go!

WILSON: We'll cast it out of a softer
silicon that we can, or rubber,
544
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:39,092
or sometimes even a foam,
545
00:28:39,259 --> 00:28:44,514
and then inside is a strip of LEDs
that is remotely operated,
546
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:47,934
so that the silicon prop can light up,
547
00:28:48,017 --> 00:28:52,397
and they can use an actual lit version of
this prop while they're fighting on set.
548

CHAPEK: There are so many amazing looks
in this movie,
553
00:29:16,796 --> 00:29:19,716
and I think that's a big opportunity
for us in these Thor films,
554
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:21,593
is to see Thor evolve,
555
00:29:21,676 --> 00:29:24,095
not only as a character, but his looks.

559
00:29:30,477 --> 00:29:35,023
he takes all his clothes off,
and you find him completely naked,
560
00:29:35,315 --> 00:29:38,276
and he's got his back covered in tattoos.
561
00:29:38,985 --> 00:29:44,157
And he's got all these tattoos that he did
after Loki died, his brother.
562
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,117
It's almost too perfect.
563
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:48,286

have been designed by Taika.

It was cool. It was nice just to...
568

you have to do something different.

for Thor, but I really lost track of it.

do we have in this movie? 20...
599

Twenty-four different
clothing outfit changes.
601
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:44,944
We have, for instance, five main changes.
One of them being extreme Thor.
602
00:31:45,695 --> 00:31:48,698
His looks progressively get bigger
and more bold,
603
00:31:48,781 --> 00:31:50,909
and when The Mighty Thor enters his life,
604
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:53,411
he has to take on
his most extreme look yet,
605
00:31:53,494 --> 00:31:56,873
and so he dons this amazing,
over-the-top armor.
606
00:31:56,956 --> 00:31:59,042
Head to toe in gold and blue.
607
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:01,794
Really kind of harkening back
to the original comics

where they didn't hold back
in terms of the fun and the colors.
609
00:32:04,547 --> 00:32:06,090
Why are we taking this helmet off?
610
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:08,843
With the gold helmet,
it's this narrative that
611
00:32:09,135 --> 00:32:14,432
Thor, maybe, has gone a little too far in
his costume because of those insecurities.
612
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:18,186
And it's that kind of storytelling that
we're trying to convey in our designs.

Chris Hemsworth is very involved
in terms of functionality.
616

We have to ensure...

(CACKLES)
618
00:32:29,489 --> 00:32:32,408
...that he has an armor that he can manage
619
00:32:32,492 --> 00:32:36,287
in all the very intense actions
that he goes through the movie.
620
00:32:36,829 --> 00:32:39,082
-Yeah.
-Maybe in the Bifrost, it's just gone.
621
00:32:39,165 --> 00:32:41,626
Maybe everything will be ripped off
and you come into this place naked.
622
00:32:41,709 --> 00:32:43,670
Yeah, that's good. Yeah, let's do that.
623
00:32:43,753 --> 00:32:46,673
THOMPSON: I think the most rewarding
part of working with Chris on this film
624
00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:51,386
has been how big he is now.
625
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:54,722
I'm like, "How did you do it?"
626
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:57,100
I thought when we made the last movie,
627
00:32:57,183 --> 00:33:01,312
that he was the largest human
that I have spent time with.
628
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:03,940
And now he's bigger than that.
629
00:33:04,023 --> 00:33:07,694
WINDERBAUM: He was in a otherworldly
physique when he showed up to set.
630
00:33:07,777 --> 00:33:10,321
The most insane shape you've ever seen.
631
00:33:13,282 --> 00:33:16,703
THOMPSON: It really is inspiring because
he just works really, really hard.
632
00:33:18,871 --> 00:33:21,207
HEMSWORTH: Each time
I've played the character
633
00:33:21,290 --> 00:33:23,126
and put the muscle on and put the size on,
634
00:33:23,209 --> 00:33:26,421
and then lost it for something else
and played another character,
635
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:30,717
there's muscle memory, and I used to say
it sort of got easier each time.
636
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:31,968
Push!
637
00:33:32,051 --> 00:33:33,428
This was particularly hard.
638
00:33:33,511 --> 00:33:37,306
I think because
the target weight we aimed for was...
639
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:39,976
quite a ways above where I'd been before.
640
00:33:44,313 --> 00:33:47,942
We had 12 months when I was at home,
just training
641
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:53,239
and sort of, you know,
puppeteering the body and manipulating
642
00:33:53,322 --> 00:33:57,118
and trying to like, we could try more
swimming now or try more martial arts.
643
00:33:59,954 --> 00:34:02,540
It was a really fun exploration,
644
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:05,126
but I don't know that
I wanna get that big again.
645
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:07,503
-Let me see what...
-I told you, though, no more secrets.
646
00:34:08,588 --> 00:34:09,630
But I was sort of...
647
00:34:10,423 --> 00:34:12,550
It was... Yeah, it was just exhausting.
648
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:16,596
I don't know, maybe I'm getting old,
but things just started to hurt more.
649
00:34:19,474 --> 00:34:20,808
GARDINER: A lot of difficulties too
650
00:34:20,892 --> 00:34:23,352
because to carry that sort of size,
651
00:34:23,436 --> 00:34:24,812
the physics of things changes.
652
00:34:26,272 --> 00:34:27,732
So the action has to progress with it.
653
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:30,026
You just have to adapt and...
654
00:34:30,109 --> 00:34:33,946
It's just making sure the range of motion
is still good and things like that.
655
00:34:34,655 --> 00:34:36,866
BALE: Talking with Chris as Thor,
656
00:34:37,241 --> 00:34:40,828
I remember thinking that he must be
on a few steps above me
657
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:43,956
and then realizing,
no, we're on the same level.
658
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,708
And I was still doing that...
659
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:49,962
And ridiculously good guy
and absolutely fantastic at this.
660
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:52,632
And so much easier to play the villain
than it is to play the hero.
661
00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:53,841
I had the easy role.
662
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:55,510
Yeah, Chris had the tough role.
663
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:01,099
PORTMAN: It's just incredible
to watch Chris' talent.
664
00:35:01,474 --> 00:35:04,018
He's just so agile
665
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:08,898
with moving from serious scenes to,
of course, extreme comedy.
666
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,441
Great to meet you.
667
00:35:10,858 --> 00:35:12,443
We've met before, but, okay.
668
00:35:12,527 --> 00:35:13,528
Great to...
669
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:15,071
Oh, I see.
670
00:35:15,655 --> 00:35:18,491
What a lot of people said about
the first time is that it was so fast
671
00:35:18,574 --> 00:35:20,743
that a lot of people didn't even
know we were in the movie.

-(DAMON AND LUKE LAUGHING)

00:35:23,621 --> 00:35:24,997
I'm trying to prepare for my scene.
674
00:35:25,206 --> 00:35:26,749
Dear Thor, son of Odin,
675
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:32,463
may you maketh the shooteth and dayeth
wonderful and positiveth.
676
00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:36,175
He has such a quick brain for
677
00:35:36,717 --> 00:35:38,970
changing things, assimilating information,
678
00:35:39,053 --> 00:35:41,764
reacting in a creative way,
679
00:35:42,056 --> 00:35:43,432
coming up with new ideas.
680
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:44,517
Can you see me?
681
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:47,478
Yes, I can see you.
But where's the rest of your body?
682
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,063
Did he cut off your head?
683
00:35:49,188 --> 00:35:51,732
PORTMAN: I always have to remind myself
that I have to act in the scene
684
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:53,109
and I can't just be an audience.

Getting to see someone
who's played a character for so long,
687
00:35:59,282 --> 00:36:04,704
but is constantly reimagining
what this character can be
688
00:36:06,747 --> 00:36:09,041
is exquisite to work alongside,
689
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:11,252
with someone that cares so much
about what they do
690
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:13,171
and cares so much about a character,
691
00:36:13,254 --> 00:36:17,133
and is brave enough
to try things and see what sticks.

Actor unit.
698
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:33,316
I'm an artist, stay away from me.
699
00:36:33,399 --> 00:36:35,401
This would be one that we give to Chris
700
00:36:35,484 --> 00:36:39,739
when we want him to have that
real powerful, godly look about him.
701
00:36:39,822 --> 00:36:43,159
But some of the action
requires it to be much lighter,
702
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:44,869
so then we'll have this version.
703
00:36:45,578 --> 00:36:46,954
Much lighter weight, but...
704
00:36:48,789 --> 00:36:49,790
photo-real.
705
00:36:50,499 --> 00:36:52,001
Almost identical,
706
00:36:52,084 --> 00:36:54,128
which is quite a feat.
707
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:56,631
And we have some
very talented painters here
708
00:36:56,714 --> 00:36:59,508
who are able to pretty much
turn any material
709
00:36:59,592 --> 00:37:01,719
into something that looks amazing.
710
00:37:01,802 --> 00:37:05,306
As you can see, this is rubber,
but it looks just like metal.
711
00:37:07,934 --> 00:37:10,686
IDOINE: We've had a few location shoots
on Thor: Love and Thunder.
712
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:12,313
Obviously, New Asgard behind me
713
00:37:12,396 --> 00:37:15,566
is an exterior location
for day and night work.
714
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:19,362
We also did some great exterior day work
down at Little Bay
715
00:37:19,445 --> 00:37:21,822
at a golf course
just south of the city in Sydney.
716
00:37:22,323 --> 00:37:23,574
And it was on some cliffs
717
00:37:24,033 --> 00:37:28,204
so we had phenomenal water
and winds blowing in.
718
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:30,790
Join me or die.
719
00:37:31,207 --> 00:37:33,000
-Never!
-We will never join you, witch.
720
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:35,586
It was challenging with the wind.
721
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:38,923
Shooting with large lighting units
or camera cranes
722
00:37:39,006 --> 00:37:42,760
or different aerial things that need to
get up and not be affected by the wind.
723
00:37:43,135 --> 00:37:45,054
It was ultimately absolutely rewarding
724
00:37:45,137 --> 00:37:48,057
because it was
a beautiful quality of light.
725
00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:52,144
MORRISON: On any given day, we're shooting
five completely different worlds.

Christian Bale is nursing his daughter
as she passes...
728
00:37:58,484 --> 00:38:00,403
It's like, literally,
the stuff that we're doing,
729
00:38:00,987 --> 00:38:02,113
it couldn't be more different.
730
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:05,658
And what we're doing...
So what are we doing?
731
00:38:07,076 --> 00:38:08,786
What are we doing today? Well, we're...
732
00:38:09,662 --> 00:38:10,663
This is a flashback.
733
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:13,499
Basically, this is the
origin story of Gorr, the villain.
734
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:17,837
Not that, but this is
just here for the camera.
735
00:38:32,435 --> 00:38:34,437
CHAPEK: I think the Thor franchise
has a history of
736
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:37,106
producing some
pretty interesting villains.
737
00:38:38,399 --> 00:38:39,859
THOR: Why have you done this?
738
00:38:39,942 --> 00:38:42,945
To prove to Father that I am a worthy son.
739
00:38:43,029 --> 00:38:44,864
CHAPEK: Loki is one of our best.
740
00:38:44,947 --> 00:38:46,365
Hela is one of our best.
741
00:38:46,741 --> 00:38:49,410
So it was very important
for us to introduce
742
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:51,037
another terrifying villain,
743
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,247
and we found that
in Gorr, the God Butcher.
744
00:38:56,625 --> 00:38:58,544
He has a big history
with Thor in the comics.
745
00:39:02,214 --> 00:39:03,841
MAN: And Gorr.
746
00:39:06,552 --> 00:39:09,597
WAITITI: Christian is someone
I've admired for many, many years.
747
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,307
Obviously, he's one of the greatest,
748
00:39:11,390 --> 00:39:13,768
I think, possibly the greatest actor
that's working at the moment.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

00:39:32,828 --> 00:39:34,205
When we talked about villains,
754
00:39:34,288 --> 00:39:36,916
they were only a few names
that we threw about,
755
00:39:36,999 --> 00:39:40,294
and his was at the top of that list
pretty early on.
756
00:39:43,923 --> 00:39:44,924
My love.
757
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:49,303

he's done everything, and...
758
00:39:50,471 --> 00:39:52,973
I think this film
feels a little different for him.

HEMSWORTH: He's just so talented.
762
00:39:59,188 --> 00:40:00,856
I've worked with so many people,
763
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:03,734
I've been so lucky to work with
so many brilliant performers, and then,
764
00:40:04,151 --> 00:40:05,903
every now and again, you sort of...
765
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:08,155
Someone just...
It's like a slap in the face.
766
00:40:10,449 --> 00:40:12,159
He added so many more layers to it
767
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:14,412
and depth to it, which then,
768
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:16,664
just made me think even harder about,
769
00:40:16,747 --> 00:40:19,125
okay, what is Thor's point of view here
770
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:22,128
besides just marching off to save the day,
771
00:40:22,586 --> 00:40:25,673
and it not being as simple as
the villain and the hero.
772
00:40:25,756 --> 00:40:27,425
It was a lot more complex than that.
773
00:40:33,889 --> 00:40:34,890
Protect her.
774
00:40:35,474 --> 00:40:37,601
You're supposed
to hate the villain, but...
775
00:40:38,185 --> 00:40:39,603
Uh...
776
00:40:39,728 --> 00:40:41,272
I'm kind of team Gorr.
777
00:40:41,647 --> 00:40:45,025
I think that you're gonna be right there
and then I'll cradle your head.
778
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,988
THOMPSON: He does that thing that
I think Marvel villains do so well.
779
00:40:49,071 --> 00:40:50,823
The thing that Stan Lee understood
780
00:40:50,906 --> 00:40:53,451
that your villainry comes from pain,
781
00:40:53,534 --> 00:40:55,995
comes from some trauma
that you haven't processed.
782
00:40:56,078 --> 00:40:57,121
I know your pain.
783
00:40:57,788 --> 00:40:59,415
Love is pain.
784
00:41:00,416 --> 00:41:01,584
THOMPSON: It makes him,
785
00:41:01,917 --> 00:41:02,918
in a way,
786
00:41:03,419 --> 00:41:05,588
a villain that you have sympathy for.
787
00:41:12,344 --> 00:41:13,888
He could stand to
788
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,140
work on his dental hygiene.
789
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,019
That aside, he's brilliant.
790
00:41:20,769 --> 00:41:23,230
FEIGE: Gorr the God Butcher has
an awesome look in the comics.
791
00:41:23,314 --> 00:41:24,773
We wanted to tap into that.
792
00:41:24,857 --> 00:41:27,610
But had we done exactly that translation,
793
00:41:27,693 --> 00:41:29,487
we would've lost all of Christian.
794
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:31,906
So we made the decision early on
795
00:41:31,989 --> 00:41:35,117
that we didn't want him
to be a motion capture character.
796
00:41:35,201 --> 00:41:36,827
There are incredible ways of doing that,
797
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:39,497
but with this particular actor
in this particular character,
798
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:40,623
Taika really believed,
799
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,084
rightfully so, that we could
achieve that with makeup.
800
00:41:46,003 --> 00:41:47,421
JOHANSEN: It was a challenging makeup.
801
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:49,423
We're so lucky we had Christian,
who was, you know,
802
00:41:49,507 --> 00:41:52,009
always just so focused on the makeup,
803
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:54,220
always wanted everything to be just right.
804
00:41:54,595 --> 00:41:56,555
Would you come here closer?
Yeah, close as you can get.
805
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,724
And you can go higher. Going up higher?
806
00:41:59,558 --> 00:42:00,684
Oh, yeah.
807
00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:02,645
CHAPEK: He just immediately
took the charge
808
00:42:02,728 --> 00:42:04,271
and said that I know who this character is
809
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:07,399
down to the tiny details
of the length of his fingernails,
810
00:42:07,483 --> 00:42:08,776
just how scary he is,
811
00:42:09,235 --> 00:42:11,362
color of the practical paint we gave him,
812
00:42:11,445 --> 00:42:13,656
the scars and these amazing tattoos
813
00:42:13,739 --> 00:42:15,991
indicative and representative of his past.
814
00:42:16,075 --> 00:42:17,117
He's totally covered from
815
00:42:17,826 --> 00:42:20,538
shoulder to hands, chest, down his back.
816
00:42:21,622 --> 00:42:22,748
It's three and a half hours.
817
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:25,209
Yep, so...
818
00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:27,670
Christian comes in, we do a fresh shave...
819
00:42:29,004 --> 00:42:30,464
First up, skin prep.
820
00:42:31,215 --> 00:42:34,093
Head shave, arm shave, pit shave,
821
00:42:35,177 --> 00:42:36,178
face shave,
822
00:42:36,262 --> 00:42:39,848
and then it's, yeah,
straight into coloration
823
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,227
and laying down all the different...
824
00:42:43,310 --> 00:42:45,020
The tattoos go on first
825
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:47,565
and the scarification
goes over the top of that.
826
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:49,900
And the full paint job over the top.
827
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:51,694
BALE: Despite the fact that me just going,
828
00:42:51,777 --> 00:42:54,530
"I am exhausted
getting up at these hours,"
829
00:42:54,947 --> 00:42:57,658
it was a great time
to just get into the headspace.
830
00:43:03,372 --> 00:43:04,540
MAN: And action.
831
00:43:07,918 --> 00:43:10,087
Hey. Is that the Necrosword?
832
00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:12,214
That's cool.
I've only ever read about it in stories.
833
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:15,551
What's a Necrosword?
834
00:43:15,634 --> 00:43:18,637
It's an ancient weapon that's been passed
through hands since the dawn of time.
835
00:43:18,971 --> 00:43:20,639
It has the ability to slay gods.
836
00:43:21,974 --> 00:43:24,560
WILSON: This is the Gorr hero Necrosword.
837
00:43:24,768 --> 00:43:27,980
Designing this, we did a lot
of research into the comic books
838
00:43:28,063 --> 00:43:32,484
and the sword that he traditionally
might've had in the Marvel universe.
839
00:43:32,568 --> 00:43:34,903
-(BLADE PLUNGES)
-(GASPING)
840
00:43:36,030 --> 00:43:39,617
We presented probably
20 designs of swords,
841
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:42,703
and it came down to what
Taika envisioned for this character,
842
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:44,538
and this is where we landed.
843
00:43:44,872 --> 00:43:46,624
Lots of little bits that we have to get,
844
00:43:46,707 --> 00:43:49,668
including establishing this Necrosword
845
00:43:49,752 --> 00:43:52,546
and Gorr being infected by the Necrosword.
846
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,465
RAPU: The sword chose you.
847
00:43:55,382 --> 00:43:56,884
You are now cursed!
848
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:58,802
Funny.
849
00:43:58,886 --> 00:44:00,512
It doesn't feel like a curse.
850
00:44:01,263 --> 00:44:04,016
WILSON: Once we land on a design,
we have someone 3D model it
851
00:44:04,558 --> 00:44:08,854
and then, they will output
a version that is aluminum.
852
00:44:08,937 --> 00:44:10,064
So this one...
853
00:44:10,689 --> 00:44:13,442
It's got a solid tip
and it's a little bit heavier.
854
00:44:13,525 --> 00:44:14,943
You can... Feels like a real...
855
00:44:15,027 --> 00:44:17,488
You know, it's got a good weight
to the sword.
856
00:44:17,946 --> 00:44:20,074
And then this one, they...
857
00:44:20,157 --> 00:44:22,701
Basically, they mold it
and cast it out of rubber.
858
00:44:23,035 --> 00:44:24,662
It still has an armature inside,
859
00:44:24,745 --> 00:44:27,331
but you'll see that
it's flexible and bendy.
860
00:44:27,539 --> 00:44:28,624
Do we need one more?
861
00:44:28,707 --> 00:44:29,708
MAN: Yeah.
862
00:44:29,792 --> 00:44:31,168
WAITITI: Different pose with the sword.
863
00:44:32,544 --> 00:44:34,046
Yeah, get the strong sword, eh?
864
00:44:43,263 --> 00:44:46,642
All of Christian's shadow demons
that he makes, he conjures up...
865
00:44:46,725 --> 00:44:49,144
When I was writing the script,
my daughter was...
866
00:44:50,270 --> 00:44:51,730
looking over my shoulders, and she's...
867
00:44:51,814 --> 00:44:53,982
I was writing down ideas for monsters,
868
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:56,068
and I didn't really know
what they might be
869
00:44:56,151 --> 00:44:58,028
and I wrote down "shadow monster."
870
00:44:58,278 --> 00:45:00,948
And she goes, "What's a shadow monster?"
and I was like, "I have no idea."
871
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:02,700
I was writing something and she goes,
872
00:45:02,783 --> 00:45:04,493
"What's it look like?"
I was like, "I don't know."
873
00:45:04,576 --> 00:45:06,036
So she goes,
"We should draw something."
874
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,830
I went, "Yeah, yeah." And so she drew...
875
00:45:08,330 --> 00:45:11,041
just this weird, freaky,
snake-like creature
876
00:45:11,125 --> 00:45:14,294
with a giant mouth and three eyes,
and it was covered in spikes.
877
00:45:15,045 --> 00:45:19,383
Then I had this idea, what if we got
the visual development artists
878
00:45:20,092 --> 00:45:23,512
to take kids' drawings
of what they think is scary
879
00:45:23,887 --> 00:45:25,222
and turn them into real...
880
00:45:26,432 --> 00:45:29,059
monsters, and put those in the film?
881
00:45:29,309 --> 00:45:30,477
And so that's what we did.
882
00:45:30,561 --> 00:45:31,895
So all of our kids just basically,
883
00:45:32,020 --> 00:45:34,690
drew pictures and we've designed...
884
00:45:34,773 --> 00:45:37,025
all of the monsters around those drawings.
885
00:45:37,526 --> 00:45:40,237
So, even that stuff was insane and...
886
00:45:41,321 --> 00:45:42,823
I mean, on paper, it just shouldn't work.
887
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,424
MAN: It's a family affair
for everybody's kids, it's so cute.
888
00:46:04,636 --> 00:46:07,055
He refused to be
in the scene with me as Gorr
889
00:46:07,139 --> 00:46:08,974
'cause he said it was too...
890
00:46:09,057 --> 00:46:10,392
It will give him nightmares.
891
00:46:12,811 --> 00:46:13,937
MAN 2: Let's roll cameras, please.
892
00:46:15,397 --> 00:46:17,983
ROBINSON: The Moon of Shame is one
of my favorite sequences in the movie
893
00:46:18,066 --> 00:46:20,277
because we get this
amazing fight sequence.
894
00:46:24,656 --> 00:46:27,075
It's like... utter disconnect.
895
00:46:28,285 --> 00:46:31,455
I think that... You know, how do you
reinvent fight sequences in the MCU?
896
00:46:31,538 --> 00:46:33,916
How do you create something
that people haven't seen before?
897
00:46:33,999 --> 00:46:35,501
And you play with zero-G.
898
00:46:35,584 --> 00:46:37,336
You play with a really small moon
899
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:39,838
and a bunch of heroes
and a bunch of shadow monsters,
900
00:46:39,922 --> 00:46:42,758
and also everything is topsy turvy
and turning upside down.
901
00:46:43,509 --> 00:46:45,761
-(YELLING)
-(GRUNTS)
902
00:46:47,054 --> 00:46:49,056
GARDINER: We always like to try
and reinvent the wheel,
903
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:50,349
but sometimes it's not possible,
904
00:46:50,432 --> 00:46:52,267
but you like to push the boundaries.
905
00:46:52,851 --> 00:46:53,852
(LAUGHS)
906
00:46:54,269 --> 00:46:56,396
Somebody's gonna come on down there,
but we're not going.
907
00:46:57,564 --> 00:46:59,441
GARDINER: But it has to fit in
with the story.
908
00:46:59,525 --> 00:47:01,527
I think it's always, with Taika,
909
00:47:01,610 --> 00:47:03,737
very character-driven and story-driven.
910
00:47:03,821 --> 00:47:05,739
It's not action for the sake of action.
911
00:47:06,365 --> 00:47:10,118
We always try to design things
that keeps the story moving forward
912
00:47:10,202 --> 00:47:11,495
and the characters moving forward.
913
00:47:11,578 --> 00:47:12,996
So I think a lot of it was there.
914
00:47:13,413 --> 00:47:14,414
MAN: Go!
915
00:47:17,417 --> 00:47:19,294
GARDINER: The anti-gravity sequence
on Moon of Shame
916
00:47:19,378 --> 00:47:22,881
and the lighting rig they used
for that sequence is pretty special.
917
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:25,342
I think the single biggest challenge
918
00:47:25,425 --> 00:47:29,096
from a creative and technical point
of view will probably be the lighting.
919
00:47:31,265 --> 00:47:32,766
If you bake the lighting in,
920
00:47:32,850 --> 00:47:35,018
if you make a very strong choice
on an actor
921
00:47:35,102 --> 00:47:38,355
and you put the lighting on them
from a particular angle, that's all it is.
922
00:47:38,438 --> 00:47:40,774
That drives a lot of the reasons
why many
923
00:47:41,567 --> 00:47:42,734
films that you see
924
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:44,403
will often have...
925
00:47:45,237 --> 00:47:46,405
slightly non-committal lighting.
926
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:50,158
Because you don't know quite when
that shot's gonna be used in the edit.
927
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:51,952
And that's true, dramatically,
928
00:47:52,035 --> 00:47:55,539
and it's incredibly true
when it comes to action sequences.
929
00:47:57,791 --> 00:48:00,711
When Taika told me that he wanted
to shoot this Moon of Shame piece...
930
00:48:01,044 --> 00:48:03,589
The Moon of Shame
is an embarrassingly small asteroid.
931
00:48:03,672 --> 00:48:05,340
It's kind of...
What I would describe it as.
932
00:48:05,424 --> 00:48:08,427
Like you had some popcorn
just after eating chewing gum.
933
00:48:08,510 --> 00:48:11,513
It's just like this wad of horrible stuff
that's just stuck in space.
934
00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:13,599
But the crazy thing
about the Moon of Shame
935
00:48:13,682 --> 00:48:15,559
is that one day is six minutes.
936
00:48:15,809 --> 00:48:18,020
So, from dawn to dawn again,
it's six minutes.
937
00:48:18,103 --> 00:48:20,480
So when you stick actors there,
the light's gotta move.
938
00:48:22,774 --> 00:48:25,110
You've got this continuing cycle,
939
00:48:25,193 --> 00:48:27,446
so it's spinning and spinning,
the backgrounds are wheeling.
940
00:48:27,571 --> 00:48:28,739
There's all sorts of craziness.
941
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:31,950
So I was trying to work out
how we could find a way to
942
00:48:32,034 --> 00:48:35,412
be able to shoot with
strong directional, interesting light,
943
00:48:35,495 --> 00:48:39,541
but also maintain the creative freedom
that we needed later on
944
00:48:39,625 --> 00:48:41,501
to be able to
actually stitch all this together.
945
00:48:41,585 --> 00:48:43,545
'Cause you think
the shot goes there in continuity,
946
00:48:43,629 --> 00:48:44,630
it's actually going there.
947
00:48:44,713 --> 00:48:46,506
Films change an awful lot
when you get into post.
948
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:49,176
So we roped in
our friends from Satellite Labs
949
00:48:49,259 --> 00:48:52,095
and we found an application
for this new technology called PlateLight.
950
00:48:53,347 --> 00:48:56,558
This is the largest scale version
of PlateLight that we've built.
951
00:48:56,642 --> 00:48:59,519
And it's the first time in cinema history
it's been used.
952
00:48:59,770 --> 00:49:00,771
Lighting with one.
953
00:49:01,605 --> 00:49:03,440
Keeps playing, that's lighting with two.
954
00:49:03,607 --> 00:49:07,861
PlateLight is a way of filming multiple
lighting looks all at the same time
955
00:49:07,945 --> 00:49:09,112
on the same camera.
956
00:49:09,404 --> 00:49:10,530
But out of the camera,
957
00:49:10,614 --> 00:49:13,075
we get each lighting look
as a separate piece of footage.
958
00:49:14,034 --> 00:49:15,452
WAITITI: At the end of the day,
959
00:49:15,535 --> 00:49:18,121
I can choose the lighting
in postproduction that I want.
960
00:49:18,205 --> 00:49:20,332
So I can blend lighting,
I can color time it.
961
00:49:20,415 --> 00:49:23,794
I can have all of the lights behind them,
or all of that in front of them.
962
00:49:23,877 --> 00:49:25,671
We get to make that decision later on.
963
00:49:25,754 --> 00:49:28,465
So it's pretty new and amazing,
964
00:49:28,548 --> 00:49:30,592
and no one has done it before in a film.
965
00:49:32,260 --> 00:49:34,388
And so I'm excited about it. Okay?
966
00:49:37,307 --> 00:49:40,560
ROBINSON: I think the biggest challenge
in writing a script like this,
967
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:42,270
from writing
Love and Thunder specifically,
968
00:49:42,354 --> 00:49:44,648
has just been wanting to balance the tone.
969
00:49:44,731 --> 00:49:47,901
Obviously, there's a serious nature to it
because kids have been taken.

00:51:08,315 --> 00:51:12,027
with a completely different lens
on the same sort of world.
1003
00:51:13,612 --> 00:51:16,823
It's definitely been
a really fun, happy set.
1004
00:51:16,907 --> 00:51:19,576
Everyone's been laughing a lot
1005
00:51:19,993 --> 00:51:20,994
and enjoying each other.
1006
00:51:21,078 --> 00:51:23,455
THOMPSON: We're just playing.
And as the name would suggest,
1007
00:51:23,538 --> 00:51:26,083
I think it's a movie that centers love,
1008
00:51:26,583 --> 00:51:29,461
in a way that you don't always
have room for in films like this.
1009
00:51:30,045 --> 00:51:31,546
You made me worthy.
1010
00:51:33,548 --> 00:51:35,759
So whatever you wanna do,
we can do together.
1011
00:51:47,771 --> 00:51:52,400
THOMPSON: I think, to see
characters evolve, and change and grow,
1012
00:51:52,734 --> 00:51:53,860
it's beautiful.
1013
00:51:54,236 --> 00:51:56,113
I think, if anything,
we just had to make sure
1014
00:51:56,196 --> 00:51:59,199
that we stuck to the story
and the intention of the story
1015
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:01,993
and didn't veer off
into no-man's-land of comedy,
1016
00:52:02,077 --> 00:52:04,162
and just made a ridiculous film.
1017
00:52:04,788 --> 00:52:07,582
The lever will shake,
but then you gotta keep the shaft...
1018
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:10,001
We just kind of check ourselves a lot.
1019
00:52:10,085 --> 00:52:12,254
We have to remind ourselves
that, yeah, we also want
1020
00:52:12,337 --> 00:52:15,549
the audience to go on a journey
and to be able to laugh and also cry.
1021
00:52:19,678 --> 00:52:21,471
HEMSWORTH: It's just
a constant exploration.
1022
00:52:21,555 --> 00:52:23,974
I think there was such a pride
and sense of accomplishment
1023
00:52:24,057 --> 00:52:26,476
in what we were achieving,
and what we were aiming for.
1024
00:52:27,102 --> 00:52:28,770
Three, two, one, bang!
1025
00:52:30,021 --> 00:52:31,439
HEMSWORTH: Shooting each other ideas,
1026
00:52:31,523 --> 00:52:33,441
and you're running on adrenaline
a lot of the time,
1027
00:52:33,525 --> 00:52:34,734
but I love it.
1028
00:52:37,654 --> 00:52:40,031
I have loved every single time
I've played the character.
1029
00:52:42,075 --> 00:52:44,452
This is ten years for most of us now,
1030
00:52:44,536 --> 00:52:46,204
and maybe the last time
I play the character.
1031
00:52:46,288 --> 00:52:47,914
I certainly was aware of that
while shooting.
1032
00:52:47,998 --> 00:52:49,749
This has been an incredible shoot.
1033
00:52:49,833 --> 00:52:52,961
If this was the last one,
this is incredibly fitting
1034
00:52:53,712 --> 00:52:55,297
to finish here in Australia.
1035
00:52:55,380 --> 00:52:57,841
It really is so, so special
to be able to do this at all.
1036
00:52:57,924 --> 00:52:59,509
Please say it's not the last movie.
1037
00:52:59,843 --> 00:53:01,595
(ALL LAUGHING)
1038
00:53:03,597 --> 00:53:05,098
We'll talk to Marvel about that, Son.
1039
00:53:08,768 --> 00:53:10,353
I love you all so much. Thank you, Taika,
1040
00:53:10,437 --> 00:53:12,230
for leading the charge from day one.
1041
00:53:12,856 --> 00:53:13,899
These films are never easy.
1042
00:53:13,982 --> 00:53:15,942
They're just exhausting for everybody,
1043
00:53:16,026 --> 00:53:19,487
but everything that everyone puts in
is just beyond belief,
1044
00:53:19,571 --> 00:53:21,781
and I'm beyond thankful
for the opportunity.
1045
00:53:21,865 --> 00:53:23,491
And thank you all so much. I love you all.
1046
00:53:24,659 --> 00:53:27,078
I think you never feel like
you have enough time.
1047
00:53:27,162 --> 00:53:30,457
It's a ticking clock,
and it ain't gonna quit, you know.
1048
00:53:31,041 --> 00:53:33,627
Ten years
and nothing is quite as it seems.
1049
00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:35,629
But now, it's like,
who knows what's gonna happen.
1050
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:41,384
-Drop the hammer. I'm out!
-(SCREAMING)
1051
00:53:48,642 --> 00:53:50,477
-THOR: What are you doing?
-She's taking minutes.
1052
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:51,937
Precious minutes we don't have.
1053
00:54:01,071 --> 00:54:02,072
Jane?
1054
00:54:12,624 --> 00:54:13,625
Couldn't find 'em.
