Jojo Rabbit Trailer: Taika Waititi Is Imaginary Hitler In Nazi Satire

Before he gets busy on a million future projects – directing Next Goal Wins, reportedly popping up in The Suicide Squad, returning to the MCU with Thor: Love And Thunder – New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi has a new film readying for release. His latest as writer-director is World War II-set “anti-hate satire” Jojo Rabbit – in which he also stars, playing a young German boy’s imaginary friend who takes the form of Adolf Hitler. While the first teaser showed us Waititi’s goofy take on the Nazi leader, a new full trailer reveals more of the film’s plot.



Roman Griffin Davis is the titular Jojo, a Hitler Youth boy who discovers his mum (Scarlett Johansson) is sheltering a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in the walls of their house – which shatters the propaganda-fuelled misconceptions he’s been taught under the Nazi regime. It looks like a stylish and witty film with a serious point to drive home.
