Waititi recently described his movie as an “anti-hate satire“.
“Writer/director Taika Waititi brings his signature style of humour and pathos to his latest film, Jojo Rabbit, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as JoJo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic,” a premise for the film reads. “Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi), Jojo must confront his blind nationalism.”
Meanwhile, Love and Thunder, the fourth film in the Thor series, is set to start production in March 2020, and will be shot at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia.
