After bestowing Thor: Ragnarok with his delicious brand of eccentric, witty humour - and providing the New Zealand twang for instant classic sidekick Korg - Taika Waititi next tackles dark World War II comedy Jojo Rabbit.

The movie revolves around a young boy (Roman Griffin Davis) living through WWII, who conjures up an imaginary friend that resembles an ethnically inaccurate version of Hitler (Waititi).

Black Widow herself, Scarlett Johansson, will play the boy's mother, while Iron Man 2's Justin Hammer, Sam Rockwell, co-stars as Captain Klenzendorf, a Nazi captain running a Hitler Youth camp.

Needless to say, it'll take some major tonal finessing for Waititi to pull this off, but given the ambitious brilliance of his prior works, it's easy to have faith, and he's got some cracking talent by his side.
