Oscar-winner Taika Waititi, who is currently shooting Marvel Studios’ highly-anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder, has been set to portray the role of Blackbeard in HBO Max’s upcoming period comedy series titled Our Flag Means Death. Blackbeard was one of history’s most famous and feared pirates.

“Our Blackbeard is a legend, a lover, a fighter, a tactical genius, a poetic soul, and quite possibly insane,” series creator David Jenkins said in a statement. “Only one man could play this role, and that is the great Taika Waititi. We’re thrilled beyond measure he’s decided to don the beard.”
