Thor 4 in Development with Director Taika Waititi to Return?

Thor 4 is reportedly in development with director Taika Waititi on board to come back. Valkyrie actress Tessa Thompson revealed the news in a recent interview, though she wasn’t able to say much else. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a pretty big mystery after Avengers: Endgame wraps everything up later this month. We’re about to witness eleven years-worth of storytelling culminate with the widely-known characters into a phase which may or may not contain some of these same heroes. Black Widow is returning in her standalone movie and plenty of MCU characters are getting their own Disney+ shows.

Tessa Thompson obviously could not say much, since everybody is sworn to secrecy. However, that did not stop her from talking about a potential Thor 4 being in development. Thompson explains.

“I heard that a pitch has happened for (another Thor film). I don’t know how real that intel is, but I hear that the pitch has happened. I think the idea is Taika (Waititi, who directed Ragnarok) would come back.”

There have been whispers about Thor 4 ever since Ragnarok came out and blew away everyone’s expectations. Taika Waititi was a breath of fresh air for the movie series, which had seemed to get a bit stale. Even lead actor Chris Hemsworth found himself bored with playing the God of Thunder until Waititi encouraged a new approach to the character and the franchise as a whole. Humor and improvising were key components to the success of the movie and the new Thor that emerges in Infinity War. Now, it looks like the team may be reconvening.
