Thor 5 may very well be coming prior to you suppose.
While there are at present no confirmed plans to create one other sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi has already began serious about his hopes for the way forward for Chris Hemsworth‘s MCU character.
In an excerpt from the Thor: Love and Thunder The Official Movie Special book, which will be released on September 19, Waititi discusses the importance of Thor’s character evolution — and the way the potential fifth instalment would wish a much more nefarious villain than Hela, who was performed by Cate Blanchett in Thor: Ragnarok.
“What is left to do to him? It’s got to be something that feels like it’s carrying on with the evolution of the character, but still in a very fun way and still giving him things to come up against that feel like they’re building on the obstacles that he has to overcome,” he says, per ScreenRant. “I don’t think we can have a villain that’s weaker than Hela. I feel like we need to step up from there and add a villain that’s somehow more formidable.”
The Oscar-winning director goes on to precise curiosity within the Norse mythology tied to Thor’s origin. Because of this, he needs to place the superhero up towards “more and more outlandish and crazy beasts, monsters, and aliens.”
According to him, Thor is the one MCU franchise that “lends itself towards big, inventive, colourful creatures and aliens and things from different worlds.”
Waititi provides, “There’s a fun element to [Thor] and he has a casualness and a sort of swagger about him when he visits these worlds and encounters these aliens that I don’t think you’d get when it’s an earthling travelling through space exploring the universe.”
While Thor: Love and Thunder — the fourth instalment within the franchise — obtained combined critiques when it got here out in July 2022, it went on to make a whopping US$750 million (A$1.16 billion) on the international field workplace, per Forbes.
Despite Hemsworth even considering it grew to become “too silly” at a degree, he just lately mentioned a fifth movie isn’t essentially out of the query.
“I don’t want to continue to do it until people are so exhausted that they roll their eyes when they see me come on the screen as that character,” he instructed Entertainment Weekly.
“If an audience wants to see it, and if there’s something that we believe is exciting and fun, then great.”
He continued, “I’ve loved being able to reinvent that character a few times. I don’t have the answer yet, but I would love to try and [figure out] how we can do that again and keep it a little unpredictable.”
Here’s hoping we are able to see him wielding his Mjolnir once more quickly!
