Taika Waititi has hyped up his next Marvel movie as his craziest film to date. In an interview with Collider, he and Chris Hemsworth reveal there is a four-hour cut of Thor: Love and Thunder. Apparently, it is ‘bats— crazy’ and full of so many jokes that it sidelines the story.
Chiming in off the director, Hemsworth revealed he watched this four-hour Thor cut. He simply described it as “bats— crazy, wild, four-hour cut I’ve ever seen.” He said that he “wouldn’t call it a movie.” Waititi referred to it as an “assembly,” and Hemsworth bounced off him to call it an “assembly of, like, madness.”
The problem with this cut that would make it something to see post-release was that it was more jokes than telling a story. Waititi said that it “gives up on the story” as the film goes on “10, 15 minutes of just telling jokes.” Maybe someday, it will be on a DVD or Disney Plus.
Thor Four-Hour cut to one of the shorter Marvel movies
While the four-hour Thor: Love and Thunder cut exists, the actual runtime will be one hour and 59 minutes. This makes it one of the shortest entries for Marvel in years. 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp was the last Marvel movie under two hours, with a runtime of one hour and 58 minutes.
Thor: Love and Thunder releases in theaters on July 8th.
