Fox/Disney has appointed Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi to bring Flash Gordon as an animated film to the big screen.
No word yet on what his role and influence would be on the film. It’s hard to imagine the creative mind behind one of the MCU’s best films not receiving creative control over this project.
Flash Gordon has been in development for a few years. Throughout the past few years, Kingsman‘s Matthew Vaughn and Overlord director Julius Avery have been rumored to helm the project. The news of Waititi joining the project and the film being animated should add some intrigue. It’s an interesting way to bring the popular character back to the center of pop culture.
