Although there is no Thor 5 currently in development, Thor: Ragnarok and Love & Thunder director Taika Waititi knows what he wants a fifth Thor film to include.
In ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ The Official Movie Special book, Waititi revealed that he has already thought about the kind of challenges Thor could face in a 5th movie.
An Antagonist Stonger Than Hela?
“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.” “What is left to do to him?

Thor’s half sister Hela was the main antagonist in 2017’s Ragnarok. The Asgardian Goddess of Death was not only able to destroy Mjolnir, but also concur Asgard.
Waititi Wants Thor to Explore More of the Universe
In addition to finding a new villain, Waititi wants to explore “more and more outlandish and crazy beasts, monsters and aliens”, although he insists that they would remain true to the God of Thunder’s mythological origins.

“There’s a fun element to [Thor] and he has a 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,” he added.
Would Hemsworth Return?
Wile Waititi sounds like he is onboard for more Thor adventures, Chris Hemsworth has sounded less sure. When asked in June what his MCU future could hold, Hemsworth was adamant that he did not want to run the character into the ground.

“I don’t want to continue to do it until people are so exhausted that they roll their eyes when they see me come on the screen as that character,” Hemsworth told Entertainment Weekly. “If an audience wants to see it, and if there’s something that we believe is exciting and fun, then great. I’ve loved being able to reinvent that character a few times. I don’t have the answer yet, but I would love to try and [figure out] how we can do that again and keep it a little unpredictable.”
