Today brings us even more evidence of just how much of “Love and Thunder” Waititi was figuring out as he went along. According to star Russell Crowe, who plays the Greek god Zeus, he could’ve ended up with a much different accent.
‘Flick!’ (British accent)
“But then I realized in post that it’s actually more offensive to the Greeks to have Zeus sound like he’s British. And test audiences loved the Greek accent,” he continued. “I’m really happy with it. But, yeah, he had to do every take once in the Greek accent and once with a British accent because I couldn’t make up my mind. But Russell was right all along.”
Crowe ultimately got his way, though it remains fascinating to hear more details about the making of this particular film. Love it or hate it, it certainly makes choices. “Thor: Love and Thunder” is currently playing in theaters.
