Thor: Love and Thunder is by no means an abysmal film.
In fact, I enjoyed it a lot despite its faults, but itās clear that director Taika Waititi has run his course with the character.
Thatās nothing to be ashamed of; itās just simply time to innovate again.

Kenneth Branagh introduced a petulant, brooding take on Thor, before Waititi dropped the stoic baggage in favour of comedy and frivolity.
It was refreshing, but just as there was only so much we could take of Branaghās version of the character, so too has Waititiās had its day.
It would be nice to see the franchiseās next director perhaps find a happy medium.
Chris Hemsworth is so good at comedy that it would be a shame to drop that facet of the character, but I would like to see Thor challenged beyond having his clothes yoinked away by Zeus.

It does appear that Thor 5 may be in the works.
Although not officially revealed by Marvel, Hemsworth has made reference to the film.
ICYMI: Thunderbolts* is the next MCU film to land.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, itās said that the actor expressed that he may āoweā the audience another film after āwhat felt like a whiffā with Love and Thunder, although I should state that those are the magazineās words, not Hemsworthās own.

Even still, Marvel fans are enthused.
āMan, he really cares about his character and the fans. What a chad. Honestly I donāt mind if Thor gets like another three movies. I want Hemsworth to play Thor as much as he can,ā Reddit user Ok-Reporter-8728 remarked.
āIām on board with this take. Especially after these comments from him. He seems to know how to course correct Thor. Iād love for him to play Thor as much as he wants to,ā added ShenaniganCity.
āI would love to see a story of him as Thor in the spirit of Conan the Barbarian (ā82). Raw, vulnerable, epic,ā suggested MonitorAway, which sounds pretty compelling.

Itāll be interesting to see whoās brought on as the seriesā new director.
I know George Millerās name has been thrown around, but would the auteur let himself be confined by the MCUās requirements?
For now, weāll have to sit tight and wait.
