"It's not a serious film, and it's not a drama either, but we managed to come to terms with some ideas that I think a lot of humanity would also deal with - universal themes about love and loss, and our place in this world," explains Waititi.

"Everyone has some similar questions in this film like: What is your goal? What is the reason that you are a hero, and what do you do when you have all those powers?," he added. "It really describes a midlife crisis film," Waititi said.
