Chris Hemsworth didn't want to let the Kiwi filmmaker enjoy the spotlight at his own film premiere and even stole his answers to reporter's questions!

Newshub's Kate Rodger chatted to Taika before the premiere and he told her he still can't believe the stuff Marvel let him get away with.

"It's just like working with my old mates back home - improvising, being very loose. Everyone who goes into the system is scared it's going to be very rigid and you won't be able to be creative, or the studio will control you. But Marvel have been amazing to me, they've kind of let me do whatever I want," he said.

"There was a day when Ruffalo came up to me and goes, 'How come we haven't been fired yet? Why are they letting us do this?' It was like we were making a weird, indie, student film and making it up as we went along. That's credit to Marvel and those guys who were very supportive of how we wanted to make the film."
