Reference to Taika Waititi

  • Director Taika Waititi voiced and provided the motion capture for the character of Korg in the movie. He also provided the motion capture for Surtur and partially for Hulk, when Mark Ruffalo wasn't available.
  • Actors Rachel House, Cohen Holloway and Sam Neill returned to work with Waititi after previous collaborations in other Waititi's movies.
  • In a deleted scene between Thor and Hela in an alley in New York City, there is graffiti which says "Skux Life", which is a quote from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, one of Waititi's previous films.
  • During a conversation in the armoury of the Sakaaran Arena, Korg shows off a wooden spear with three tips to Thor, stating that it is pretty useless unless he has to kill "three vampires hugging each other". This is a reference to Waititi 2014's movie What We Do in the Shadows, a horror comedy about three vampires flatmates that resides in New Zealand.

Deleted Scenes and Content

  • Director Taika Waititi wanted to use Nova Corps Denarian Rhomann Dey in the movie, but "there was no real way to pull it off."
  • Beta Ray Bill almost had a physical on screen cameo in the film but it was ultimately decided that the little time he would have had wouldn't do him justice so his scene was removed with his sculpture being the only reference to him in the future but Kevin Feige has said he could appear later on in a film that could do him better justice.
