Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Taika Waititi will not be returning to direct Thor 5 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite the success of Thor: Love and Thunder.
• The tone of Thor 5 is uncertain, as Thor: Love and Thunder was criticized for being too comedic and inconsistent with the darker elements.
• It is possible that Thor 5 may not happen at all, as Marvel Studios is facing delays and overhauls, and Hemsworth's final MCU appearance could occur in a different movie.

If Thor 5 happens, someone new will be directing it, as Taika Waititi will not be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the God of Thunder. Phase 4 broke a new record as Thor: Love and Thunder became the first installment where one of the original Avengers got their fourth movie after initially finishing their original trilogy. Waititi, who directed Thor: Ragnarok, returned to the director's chair for Thor: Love and Thunder, which became a commercial success but struggled critically.
Given Thor: Love and Thunder's $760 million accomplishment, Thor 5 may be possible in the MCU. While Marvel Studios have not made any big announcements yet on Thor 5, despite its setup in the MCU, it will not be with Waititi. In a new interview with Insider, Waititi was asked if he would come back to the MCU for Thor 5, but the filmmaker made it clear he's going to focus on other projects that he's currently committed to, sharing the following:

I wouldn't know if that's accurate. I know that I won't be involved. I'm going to concentrate on these other films that I've signed on for.
