Sequels Thor 5 - News

That would be such a downgrade.

Aren't the Extraction films well-received, though? Haven't seen them for myself.

F’ing great news if you ask me. So happy! I knew this was in the cards, both appearances in the back-to-back Avengers movies and of course a 5th and likely final Thor movie. There where hints of such a scenario and while Marvel could go bold(and they still might) by killing Thor in the Avengers films, in a way it doesn’t make much sense from both a fan favorite character/corner stone angle and even financial point of view. They might have him die, for the shock value just to then bring him back from Valhalla later on though…

I have no gripes with Marvel ditching Taika, none whatsoever even though he made my favorite MCU movie, unfortunately he also wasted a huge opportunity with TLT so we can all move on now.

Now it’s a question of eventually finding a director, haven’t seen the Extraction films but the director apparently crafts action really really well so as long as Marvel could pair him up with some great screenwriters then I would gladly see at the very least a badass, action wise, Thor film to wrap it all up… Just give me more Thor and I’ll be a happy camper.

Trying a fun exercise, on how I’ve perceived the character’s MCU journey and how each iteration worked for me.
Rating Thor’s MCU appearances:

Thor - Fine
Avengers - Good
Thor: TDW - Not a fan
Avengers: AOU - OK
Thor: Ragnarok - Pretty Great
Avengers: IW - Incredible
Avengers: EG - Meh
Thor: L&T - Wasted Opportunity

Thor definitely peaked right around Ragnarok/IW but unfortunately they messed it up straight afterwards. I have faith the Russos can make Thor once again flourish under their wing. Don’t mess it up please.

I could see Thor having a pretty substantial role in Doomsday with him even dying just so it can be undone somehow in SW with likely a group of variants playing a part in that and eventually setting a badass Thor 5 where he officially becomes All Father and passes the torch to a character like BRB for example.

I feel like they should retire the character in Secret Wars.

I like seeing Jane Thor but Thor 4 really sourced my view for Thor films in general, considering Thor is still the only one to have 4 solo MCU films.
