Was hoping they would talk about the Mandalorian and IG-11, it was more recent than Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame where he played Korg.

His direction of that stormtrooper scene in the final Mandalorian episode is just gold.

Taika is Amazing! I hope he gets to do a lot more amazing stuff \o/

I really like him, he's got a great goofball personality which I'd hazard a guess naturally draws and attracts people to him. He just seems like he'd be a blast to work with or kick it with! I haven't had a chance to see Jojo yet but from the trailers I had a feeling that one little boy who he said was comic relief was a scene stealer just from the couple moments I saw him in the trailer. I'm glad to hear that, coz he was crackin me up just watching that!
