Rumor has it that Marvel Studios is steering away from Taika Waititi’s comedic tone in the ‘Thor’ series, opting for a darker approach helmed by Gareth Edwards. Amid mixed reactions to ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, the studio seems poised to shift gears.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, the upcoming fifth Thor installment will diverge from Waititi’s whimsy seen in ‘Ragnarok’ and ‘Love and Thunder’. Gareth Edwards, known for ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’, is reportedly eyed to direct.
While Waititi’s films brought a fresh spin, ‘Love and Thunder’ may have strayed too far for some. Marvel Studios seems keen to explore new tonal territory, aligning with the overarching Multiverse Saga.
With nods to the darker, character-focused tone of the initial Thor films, there’s speculation about a return to the series’ roots. Chris Hemsworth, hinting at Thor 5’s unpredictability, suggests his potential final bow.
Though Waititi won’t helm Thor 5, Hemsworth’s likely return promises an intriguing finale. As development unfolds, fans eagerly await Thor’s next chapter, possibly shaping the MCU’s future. ‘Thor 5’ is in progress, awaiting a release date.
