AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Will Introduce The New MCU Comedy Duo Of Thor And Star-Lord

Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo cited Taika Waititi's "re-toning" of Chris Hemsworth's Thor in Ragnarok as the catalyst for his film's comedic pairing of the Odinson and Star-Lord.

News and interviews continue to trickle out of SDCC '17. IGN caught up with Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo just as the Marvel Studios panel wrapped and the Civil War director teased that the Odinson is going to become a little less dour in Infinity War as he'll be paired with the Guardians of the Galaxy's Star-Lord. However, Thor's comedy makeover will first get underway in Thor: Ragnarok.



"You know what’s interesting is that because of the re-toning that Taika (Waititi) did with Thor 3 and the direction Thor is heading in as a character, he and Star-Lord were a very surprising combination and a very funny combination. So I’m excited for the audience to see the two of them together."



How do you think the comedy stylings of the Asgardian God of Thunder and half-Celestial (is that former half-Celestial now?) will play out on screen? We'll find out when Infinity War hits theaters on May 4, 2018.
