In the 2010s Māori actor-director Taika Waititi rose to global fame with the Marvel Cinematic Universe film "" (in which he played an alien named Korg), which many critics noted carried a sophisticated commentary on colonization under the comedy. Waititi went on to win an Academy Award, which he dedicated "to the indigenous kids of the world", for the screenplay of his anti-hate satire "Jojo Rabbit", in which he played Adolf Hitler as imagined by a ten-year-old Hitler Youth member. His previous films include "Boy" and "Hunt for the Wilderpeople", both of which feature young Māori protagonists.
