JAKARTA - Director Taika Waititi admitted that there was a lot of inspiration in the process of making Thor: Love and Thunder. This film is known to insert many songs from the '80s.

Some of them are Immigrant Song from Led Zeppelin, Our Last Summer from ABBA, and Rainbow in the Dark from Dio.

"Judge Dregg is a popular person. Everyone in New Zealand, all the children have drawn it, or Bob Marley, or Zig Zag's man from a cap," Taika Waititi quoted Comic Book as saying.

You can see some Chris (the Thor) costume references with a singlet. It was a form of respect for Big Trouble in Little China, for Jack Burton (Kurt Russell)," he continued.

I want it all to feel like a break playing guitar. In terms of art and everything, like the cover of the album '80s,' he explained.

"Even for the making of the title - I wanted to make something I drew in the book in class, when I practiced drawing the Metallica logo," he said.

"It's like that, like thelayer logo, all the band logos. Basically all the inspiration is the 80s I saw," he recalled.

You could say the sequel to Thor is the most metal Marvel film. There are many 80'an music references that Taika Waititi includes in the film. Some of the soundtracks are like Ciara, Mary J. Blige, and Anya. In addition, he also added a number of Guns N' Roses songs.

Thor: Love and Thunder stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe as Zeus, Jaimie Alexander and others.

Just released, the film Thor: Love and Thunder is projected to reach the box office in a short time. This film can be seen in Indonesian cinemas since July 6.
