There's a whole lot of Planet Hulk fun packed into the Thor: Ragnarok trailer that debuted at San Diego Comic-Con, but Taika Waititi explained to IGN why and how he decided to put his own spin on the classic story.
"I was just trying to inject my tone and sensibility into it, and then those guys who actually know the comics came in and were like, 'Let's just push it in this direction back here,'" Waititi told IGN. "Korg and Miek, who are two characters from Planet Hulk, there's that stuff.
"One difference is we have the Grandmaster ruling Sakaar instead of the Red King, and so there's those things, but I don't really play that much attention to it. I'm trying to create cool characters and tone and story instead of it has to be totally authentic to the comic, because I think that's when you run into trouble when you can't be creatively free to adjust things."

Waititi also explained another surprising decision from the Thor: Ragnarok trailer: why he and Loki are spotted wielding assault rifles.
"I think we really wanted to challenge Thor in this film. He's challenged more than in any of the other films," said Waititi. "He loses the hammer, which is the source of his power, and he's really on the back foot most of the film. We didn't want him to be able to utilize magic, or to have Loki's magic. We didn't want him to have too many advantages. He had to really find his way out of this predicament using his brain and using his friends."
