Prince of hilarious cameos and director of all that is good and funny, Taika Waititi is at it again. 。

Waititi also previewed footage of another Sakaar fighter, Miek, an insect-like alien with a crab mouth and knives for hands. "Miek doesn't talk," Waititi said. "He's like Silent Bob."。
If you're new to the work of Waititi, you might not realise that the dude is a cameo fiend, appearing in pretty much all of his own films, in memorable, funny as hell moments as well as in larger roles that reveal the extent of his comedic and acting chops. 。 Fingers crossed Korg isn't the only cameo Waititi will make in the upcoming 。Fingers crossed Korg isn't the only cameo Waititi will make in the upcoming。
