Like most Taika Waititi superfans, we're frothing to see his new WWII movie, Jojo Rabbit.

For one, it's been described as "anti-f*ckface satire" & secondly, the kiwi is teaming up with Hollywood A-listers Rebel Wilson & Scarlett Johansson.

 

Am I excited to be working with New Zealand’s best comedy director and all-round legend @taikawaititi ? That would be a hard yes. I’ve admired all his films! Also Scar Jo & Sam Rockwell ❤️. Can’t wait to get to Prague x

Yesterday, the Thor: Ragnarok director took to Instagram to bless fans with some fresh BTS snaps from the film.

"Possibly the weirdest dinner I've ever been to," he captioned a pic of himself dressed as 'Imaginary Hitler' alongside Johansson.

"Teaching that Avengers lady how to do biscuit acting," he joked.

According to Deadline, the film follows  “a 10-year old boy who struggles to find his place in an increasingly Fascist regime and turns to an imaginary friend when faced with the discovery that his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home.”

And Taika knows it is likely to p*ss off a lot of racists, but he's 100% readyf or it.

"I couldn't be more excited to finally ridicule Nazis and their beliefs," he told Newshub.

"This film is going to piss off a lot of racists and that makes me very happy."
