If there\u2019s one thing comic book fans like more than a new Marvel movie, it\u2019s speculating about what could be coming up next \u2013 and Thor: Love and Thunder<\/a> certainly sets the stage for a follow-up.<\/p>\n The new blockbuster brings back Ragnarok\u2019s dynamite trio of Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, while also bringing a long-absent Natalie Portman back into the fray.<\/p>\n In addition to pushing those familiar characters into new and unexpected territory, the film also introduces a number of new characters, including one hero that fans have been demanding for some time.<\/p>\n These new developments are sure to leave viewers wondering whether more is on the way, so we\u2019ve rounded up the latest updates on Thor\u2019s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n Previously, the MCU hadn\u2019t gone beyond a trilogy when it came to its solo films, with the likes of Iron Man and Captain America bowing out after the release of their third instalments.<\/p>\n However, with the release of Love and Thunder, that ceiling has been broken, meaning it seems quite possible that the Thor franchise could stretch to another entry (or even beyond).<\/p>\n That said, director Taika Waititi has been non-committal when quizzed on the matter, explaining that he tries not to ponder future projects while still working on his current one.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t thought about it as part of a new trilogy, because every time I make a film, I think, \u2018I\u2019m never doing that again\u2026\u2019 because they\u2019re just too hard,\u201d he told Fandango<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done it eight times now. Eight times I\u2019ve said, \u2018I think I\u2019m just going to pack it in. I had a good run.\u2019 And then sure enough get lured back in with a Yankee dollar. Lured back in by them cookies\u2026 and them Oscars.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>, he added: \u201cWho knows if we do another one after this, but I definitely feel like we put everything \u2014 every idea and every single ridiculous concept or gag or stunt or character \u2014 into this film. I couldn\u2019t be happier with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Those comments suggest that Waititi might not be completely locked down for another Thor movie just yet, but Hemsworth has outlined his own position without any doubt.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll do it until someone says get off the stage. I love it,\u201d the actor told Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n If Love and Thunder is a strong performer at the box office, then it seems quite likely that another Thor movie would be produced, given Hemsworth\u2019s apparent enthusiasm for the character.<\/p>\nWill there be a Thor 5?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
