New Zealand director Taika Waititi continues to win hearts in Hollywood - this time at the Avengers: Infinity War premiere.

The Thor: Ragnarok director was snapped giving an adorable hug to Avengers Infinity War's Paul Rudd who plays Scott Lang (aka Ant-Man) at the films highly anticipated premiere on Tuesday (NZ time).

Waititi is known for his great snaps and selfies, particularly on the Red Carpet. At his own premiere event for Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok, Waititi captured hearts with his selfies alongside Thor star Chris Hemsworth and The Hulk star Mark Ruffalo.

Kiwi film director Taika Waititi goes head first in a bed cuddle with Thor: Ragnarok stars Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleton. The photo was taken by the fgilm's other star, Mark Ruffalo.

It wasn't always Waititi, either. In one photo he snapped Dr Strange actress Tilda Swinton photobombing two sleeping businessmen.

Another photo shows him playing piggy-in-the-middle as he snuggles in between Thor: Ragnarok stars and on-screen brothers Tom Hiddleton and Hemsworth.

To make it even more cute, Ruffalo snapped the photo.
