Taika Waititi Will Not Be Involved With Rumored Thor 5 Movie


Outsiders - November 15, 2023
Following his directorial work on Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), Taika Waititi's involvement in the Thor franchise may have come to an end. In a recent interview promoting his latest film Next Goal Wins, Waititi confirmed that he is not currently involved in the rumored Thor 5 film.

"I know that I won't be involved." "I'm going to concentrate on these other films that I've signed on for," Waititi tells Business Insider.

Waititi revealed that he has several other projects in the works, including the adaptation of the graphic novel The Incal, a movie set in the Star Wars universe, and the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun.

"It's still marinating. I've been writing it," he says of the "Star Wars" project.

Despite not being involved in the future Thor film, Waititi expressed his love for Marvel and his enjoyment of working with them, as well as his appreciation for leading star Chris Hemsworth.

"But I love Marvel, I love working with them. I love Chris," he adds, referring to "Thor" leading man, Chris Hemsworth.

Before Waititi took the helm of the Thor films, Kenneth Branagh directed the first installment in 2011, while Alan Taylor directed the 2013 sequel, Thor: The Dark World.

I liked the first Thor movie, and him in the Avengers and Age of Ultron. After that, I think they did a disservice to the character by making him comedic. I mean, I get it.......so much of Thor and Asgard is so outlandish, as to be absurd, but making a joke out of the character did kind of diminished him.

The only better news would be that there would be no Thor 5 period. It was a nice run. Hemsworth was a worthy Thor. His heart is no longer in it. It's gotten stale with the fans. Time to move on.

Yeah sorta agree here, no Thor 5 really needed at this point, it's run it's course, But if we have to get a Thor 5, honestly best move is no Taika this go round, Thor doesn't need to feel like a sitcom, Dark World was looking pretty good after L&T, Thor never really was a real jokester in the books, Serious tones is something we need to revisit.

Good. The guy is super talented but Love and Thunder just went way too overboard with the comedy. Ragnorok had just the right amount and still make things progress properly. Time to try something different again. Maybe we'll get a God war with the Olympians.

Yeah love Taika but I don't think he was the person for Thor, sure he struck gold with Ragnarok, but that seemed like it was almost fluke it worked so well, he's not really built for writing Superhero movies, some people arn't like...really you wanna go see a Wes Anderson Marvel movie?

but all this being said, I almost would like them to give one more Thor movie, just too wash the taste out with the last one, would kinda be a shame if the last Thor movie we ever saw was so horrible, and that caps his run.

I'd actually be stoked if Marvel Studios just announced tomorrow that L&T is being retconned from Canon, and it was just like a alt universe one off.

Thank goodness for that. I want to see one good Thor movie before he's done with the MCU. Love and Thunder shouldn't be the final image we have of Thor.
