"That’s probably on the cards, yeah," says Waititi, 48.
As for his new film, it's based on a true story and follows Dutch-American manager Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender) "in the slow-paced island community" of American Samoa, where he is "determined to inject footballing discipline into the team as they make a qualifying run for the 2014 FIFA World Cup," according to a synopsis on TIFF's website.
Despite directing Next Goal Wins (which is based on a 2014 documentary of the same name from Mike Brett and Steve Jamison), Waititi says, "Soccer was never a big part of my life."
It was a sport I didn’t know as much as I do with rugby, but, more than that, it was about the team and the people."
While Ora is not a part of Next Goal Wins, the Thor: Love and Thunder director has collaborated professionally with his actress-singer wife before, including on the music video for her song "Praising You."
"I love working with her,” Waititi told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year. “It’s just a good laugh. It’s nice being married to and working with someone who’s extremely talented. We’ve got a similar sense of humor and we listen to the same stuff."
Elsewhere in that interview, the director raved about how Ora “left school early to become a f---ing massive pop star, and as a result says the f---ing coolest things."
"She’s like, ‘I walk around the corner, and slow and behold, it was right in front of me.’ And I’m like, ‘Babe, it’s lo and behold,’ " Waititi told THR. "And she’s like, ‘No, slow and behold, way better.’ I’m like, ‘You’re not wrong. Slow and behold sounds f---ing better.’ ”
