Team Darryl

Team Darryl is a follow-up of the promotional self-parody mockumentary-style short films Team Thor and Team Thor: Part 2. It was attached to Thor: Ragnarok's physical media release on February 20th 2018.

Team Darryl follows Darryl Jacobson after Thor has left to return to Asgard for the events of Thor: Ragnarok. In the wake of that film, the Grandmaster, now without his servant Topaz has travelled to Earth and became Darryl's new roommate.

Mourning the death of his former servant, the Grandmaster becomes obsessed with Darryl including drawing him. Eventually the Grandmaster discloses that he wants to rule over the Earth, prompting them to make a video advertising the idea, however the video is not remotely popular and only gets viewed by the two roommates.

 
In an attempt to increase the popularity of the video announcing his plans to take over the world, the Grandmaster encourages Darryl to invite his work friends over - which results in them attempting to make music for the new video he intends to make. Disappointed by the quality of the music, the Grandmaster proceeds to melt one of Darryl's colleagues, David. Darryl ends up remarking on how much he misses his previous roommate Thor.
Team Darryl continues to explore the growing desperation of Darryl as his life spirals. It is currently the last in the Team Thor series although this series was directed and written by Taika Waititi who worked on Thor Ragnarok and is currently working on Thor: Love and Thunder, meaning we may eventually see some form of continuation in the future.
