Thor: Love & Thunder Director Reacts to Movie’s Korg Dwayne Johnson Joke
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Thor: Love and Thunder
Thor: Love and Thunder writer/director Taika Waititi reacts to his latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie's apparent Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson joke. Thor: Ragnarok famously reinvigorated the Thor franchise with Waititi's unique brand of irreverence. In addition to directing that film, Waititi played the soft-spoken, polite, and hilarious Kronan warrior, Korg—who's inspired by New Zealand nightclub bouncers. As arguably Marvel Studios' first romantic comedy, it was only natural Korg returned in the sequel, Love and Thunder.
Similar to his role in Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame, Korg serves as a source of comedic relief in Love and Thunder. However, the film also takes some time to explore Kronan culture and procreation from the comics. Partway through the film, Korg reveals to Tessa Thompson's King Valkyrie that he was born to two fathers as they held hands in a river of lava. Then, at the end of the film, Korg is seen with a fellow Kronan, Dwayne, holding hands and standing in a river of lava. Given the fact that Korg is a rock, who now has a partner named Dwayne, many theorized this was a reference to the former WWE superstar. Now, Waititi has confirmed Love and Thunder's Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson joke.

Waititi recently took to Twitter to react to fans who have made the connection between Love and Thunder's handlebar-mustached Kronan and Johnson. Resharing an edited photo of Johnson's infamous black turtleneck/fanny pack ensemble, Waititi confirmed Korg's partner sharing a name with The Rock is no coincidence. Check it out below:
