Director Taika Waititi has hinted at a possible Thor 5 film amidst rumours which had already begun circulating. Speaking on the hypothetical scenario of such a venture, the MCU director revealed some of his ideas for Thor 5, which would mean a new suit design, a more powerful enemy than Hela or Gorr, an evolution of Thor's character and higher stakes. While there is no Thor sequel currently in development after Love and Thunder which while doing well at the box office was blasted by audiences, the director is determined to continue the adventures of the Norse God of Thunder.

Speaking to Variety, the New Zealand based director revealed some of his ideas which will also be given in the upcoming book Thor: Love and Thunder The Official Movie Special’. “What is left to do to him? It’s got to be something that feels like it’s carrying on with the evolution of the character, but still in a very fun way and still giving him things to come up against that feel like they’re building on the obstacles that he has to overcome,” Waititi said. “I don’t think we can have a villain that’s weaker than Hela. I feel like we need to step up from there and add a villain that’s somehow more formidable.” Thor Love and Thunder Movie Review: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman's Marvel Film is a Bumpy Ride With Occasional Sparks of Taika Waititi Charm (LatestLY Exclusive).
He added, “There’s a fun element to Thor and he has casualness and a sort or swagger about him when he visits these worlds and encounters these aliens that I don’t think you’d get when it’s an earthling traveling through space exploring the universe.” However, a new Thor film will be difficult as Chris Hemsworth has made up his mind on not returning to the MCU, bidding farewell to the character after Thor: Love and Thunder. Earlier, the actor too had called the movie a bad idea from the beginning as he deemed it ‘too silly’, taking away from the seriousness of the plot.
