Marvel Studios Scouting for New Creatives for Thor 5

 

Following Chris Hemsworth’s recent outing in Thor: Love and Thunder, Marvel Studios is searching for a new writer and director for its sequel — Thor 5. Insider Daniel Richtman shared these updates about the Australian actor’s final solo appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Thor 5 is Happening

 

According to Richtman, the fifth film in Thor’s series is expected to start filming fall 2025. However, there are no updates yet regarding its release date. This falls in line with Marvel’s current trend of not releasing information until absolutely necessary for franchises.

Stepping Away from the Light-hearted Tone

 

The past two Thor movies, which tilted towards comedy, attracted heavy criticism for the handling of the character. This was majorly due to Taika Waititi’s direction. Even though Waititi will not be returning for the next installment, Marvel Studios is adamant about retaining Thor’s charm. They plan to pivot towards a more serious and darker tone for the character, given the circumstances of the film.

New Direction for Thor 5

 

Rumors are buzzing about Gareth Edwards, known as the creator, taking up directorial duties for this movie. Despite his penchant for original sci-fi projects, Edwards did not dismiss the idea of directing the movie.

Possible Contender: George Miller

 

George Miller is also considered to direct Thor 5. Having previously worked with Hemsworth on the action film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller spoke highly of Hemsworth’s abilities, both physically and emotionally. The filmmaker stated he would willingly work with the Thor star again, praising his performance skills.

Hemsworth’s Curtain Call as Thor

 

Hemsworth seems to be enjoying his final stretch as Thor. The actor praised Miller’s work ethos, emphasizing on the meticulous planning and purpose behind each frame in his films. Fans are hoping for a swan song that would do justice to Hemsworth’s portrayal of Thor, a character he has embodied for more than a decade.

Where to Watch Thor Movies

 

For those eager to revisit the Thor saga, all installments are currently available to stream on Disney+.

As we wait for more news regarding Thor 5, there’s plenty of space for fan theories and speculation. One thing is clear, the next Thor film is expected to deviate from its predecessors significantly, and fans are already excited about the fresh direction.
