Waititi wrote and directed 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, which took Chris Hemsworth's Asgardian hero Thor Odinson in a different, more comedic direction than his two previous movies and was the best reviewed Thor movie in the MCU, with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score compared to Thor: The Dark World's 66% and Thor's 77%.
He also played the alien gladiator Korg in Thor: Ragnarokand recently reprised his role in Avengers: Engdame.
