The cast of Thor: Love and Thunder recently attended a fan screening where Natalie Portman said the film is “so gay” with director Taika Waitiiti offering it’s “super gay.”
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph, Waititi also said LGBTQ+ inclusion should have happened a thousand years ago.
“It’s 2022 and we’re still having these conversations, it’s just insane. To think people will go to a movie and go ‘Did you see those two women kissing?’ and they’re like ‘[makes a funny face]’… it’s insane that people still want to talk about that. Why is it not normalized? Why is it weird or different?” said Waititi. “The good thing about doing it in these films, it’s mainstream movies where we get to see this and it’s normalized, and I think that’s what’s cool. Way more people are going to see that and begin to understand that it’s fine.”
