Taika Waititi not solely directed Thor: Ragnarok, however he additionally gave us the sudden MCU icon that’s Korg. The filmmaker and actor portrayed the Asgardian’s laidback pal within the film, in addition to turning up for a cameo in Avengers: Endgame.

This information comes from Waititi himself, who not too long ago held an Instagram Q&A. “We do contact on Korg’s tradition,” the author/director/performer promised in response to a fan query. “The place he’s from…. for those who look within the comics about Kronans, it’s an fascinating factor about the place they arrive from.”

Ragnarok already briefly touched on Korg’s backstory in a single memorable scene. Upon assembly Thor, the Kronan defined that he ended up on Sakaar after he staged a failed revolution on his homeworld, to which solely his mom and her boyfriend (who he hates) turned up. He got here to appreciate that he didn’t print off sufficient pamphlets and followers have all the time been tickled by the truth that because of this rock was overwhelmed by paper.
In any case, Waititi’s remark concerning the “fascinating factor” to do with the place Kronans come from could possibly be a reference to their distinctive approach of reproducing within the comics. Kronans, who’re truly genderless, procreate by holding palms, which causes a part of their rocky our bodies to soften collectively and kind a brand new being. The film is known as Love and Thunder, in spite of everything, so it could make sense if Korg went dwelling and located himself a mate and a household.
Thor: Love and Thunder was initially set to be with us by November subsequent yr, however Marvel pushing their complete Section four slate again has triggered it to be relocated to February 2022. Not less than we now know that extra of Korg can be ready for us on the finish of this lengthy wait.
