Thor actorChris Hemsworthtook to social media to give thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe fans for makingInfinity Warsuch a huge success. In doing so, he also hinted that Thor may return in another MCU project afterAvengers 4. There’s a lot of speculation over what will happen inAvengers 4, and it’s widely known that some characters will not make it out alive from the battle with Thanos. Hemsworth’s Thor is widely believed to be one of those characters that doesn’t live. However, the actor has mentioned before that he has talked aboutThor 4with director Taika Waititi and his latest social media post may further prove that he has a future with the MCU.
Chris Hemsworth posted a video of himself in the gym on his Instagram page, stating that he felt he should be lifting weights and giving thanks in the style of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who always seems to be in a gym on his social media posts. In addition to thanking fans for makingInfinity Warsuch a huge success, Hemsworth may have also revealed that there could be some more Thor in the MCU after the events ofAvengers 4. If true, this could mean that the actor and Taika Waititi are working onThor 4. He had this to say.
“It was the biggest superhero film opening ever. The film continues to smash records left, right and center and, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - it’s all thanks to you guys. Thank you so much, everyone who continues to support these characters and the Marvel Universe. We’re going to keep trying to crank them out for you, if you let us.”
Now, Chris Hemsworth could be talking about the MCU as a whole, not necessarily a return to the Thor character. But,Ragnarokdirector Taika Waititi and Hemsworth havetalked about the possibilityofThor 4, now that some new angle has been given to the character.Ragnarokwas a drastic shift in tone for a franchise that had been, for some, overly serious. The new tone is what made Chris Hemsworth excited to play Thor again and shapedInfinity Warin a positive way.
As for a future beyondAvengers 4, nothing has been officially confirmed by any of theoriginal Avengers. The contracts of Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlet Johansson, and Chris Hemsworth are all up withAvengers 4. Johansson is working on a possibleBlack Widowspin-off, which has been confirmed, butThor 4has only been talked about loosely, as far as we know. Basically, it’s going to be even more of a wait forAvengers 4, now that we know that there could be a future for more Thor within the MCU.
Ragnarokwas a divisive movie amongsthardcore MCU devotees. The humorous shift in tone was not immediately welcomed by everyone, but Chris Hemsworth certainly enjoyed it, which means that he’s now, more so than ever, interested in playing Thor again. Again, we’ll just have to wait and see howAvengers 4pans out for everybody before anything can really start to be talked about.
