Taika Waititi 'Reprimanded' By Marvel Over Viral Pics With Rita Ora & Tessa Thompson
Taika Waititi had made headlines for pictures of him getting cosy with his girlfriend and singer Rita Ora and actress Tessa Thompson in the balcony of his Bondi home in Sydney.
A
week
ago,
Taika
Waititi
had
made
headlines
for
pictures
of
him
getting
cosy
with
his
girlfriend
and
singer
Rita
Ora
and
actress
Tessa
Thompson
in
the
balcony
of
his
Bondi
home
in
Sydney.
According
to
Daily
Telegraph,
Marvel
executives
were
left
unimpressed
by
the
aftermath
and
have
reprimanded
the
Thor:
Love
And
Thunder
director.
All
three
have
been
in
Sydney
busy
shooting
for
the
upcoming
Thor
film
in
the
Marvel
franchise.
The
pictures
reportedly
also
upset
the
bosses
at
Marvel's
parent
company
Disney.
Thor:
Love
and
Thunder
production
insider
was
quoted
by
Daily
Telegraph
as
saying,
Taika's
behaviour
was
"Not
exactly
the
image
they're
looking
to
project
in
relation
to
one
of
their
biggest
franchises."
The
insider
added,
"While
Taika
is
known
for
being
a
'party
animal',
the
photos
'crossed
a
line'
for
company
bosses."
Just
earlier
this
month,
Rita
and
Taika
made
their
relationship
public
by
attending
the
premiere
of
RuPaul's
Drag
Race
Down
Under
together
at
the
Sydney
Opera
House.
While
the
two
didn't
walk
the
red
carpet
together,
they
sat
next
to
each
other
inside
the
venue.
The
duo
has
also
been
spotted
at
lunches
together,
with
Rita
in
Syndey,
reports
claimed
that
the
two
have
taken
their
relationship
to
the
next
level
by
moving
in
together.
Meanwhile,
Tessa
Thompson
after
spending
time
with
Rita
and
Waititi
was
seen
kissing
model
Zac
Stenmark,
just
earlier
this
week.
It
is
unclear
if
Taika
is
the
only
one
being
'reprimanded
by
Marvel
bosses'.
Talking
about
the
upcoming
film,
Thor:
Love
And
Thunder
also
stars
Chris
Hemsworth,
Chris
Pratt
as
their
superhero
characters
Thor
and
Star-Lord.
The
film
will
pick
up
where
Avengers:
Endgame
left
off
as
the
God
of
Thunder
departs
Earth
with
the
Guardians
of
the
Galaxy,
on
a
mission
to
discover
who
he
is
beyond
all
of
the
trappings
of
his
birthright.
The
film
also
marks
the
return
of
Jane
Foster,
who
is
played
by
Natalie
Portman.
Natalie
will
be
taking
on
the
role
of
female
Thor
in
the
film.
