Thor: Ragnarok
TheThortrilogy may be over , but we have a really cool estimate forThor 4 . It ’s little wonderment that fans are applaudingThor : Ragnarokas one ofthe good MCU moving-picture show to date . Taika Waititi ’s reinvention of the God of Thunder adds shiny neon and humor to a franchise once known for its atomic number 84 - faced approach .
Unsurprisingly , talk has inevitably turned to Waititi ’s possible comeback for a " Ragnarok 2 " and another trip around the Nine Realms with Chris Hemsworth in towage . However , with the like of Captain America and Iron Man hold on at three solo picture show thanks to contracts and timing , will Kevin Feige really give us a quadrilogy based on the muscular man from Asgard ?
After all , the ending ofRagnarokleft the people of Asgard in a precarious position - andfacing the intergalactic threat of Thanos . Where do we go next ? Well , the film actually give some interesting thread dangle that , along with the funny source , opens up one very cool opening .
Where Ragnarok Leaves Thor
Ragnarokmay have seen thedestruction of the Warriors Three , the Elite Guard , Odin himself , and Asgard the position , but it ’s no resolute apocalypse . In fact , the film neatly sets up aThor 4storyline .
We stop the film with Chris Hemsworth stepping into the role of a one - eyed drawing card of the Asgardian people . Thor ’s parting speech suggested he was taking the Asgard lifeboat to Midgard ( Earth ) and find sanctuary among some more " normal " inhabitants of the galaxy . However , the comer of Thanos and the Black Order in theRagnarokpost - credits may scupper those plans just a bit .
We already knew that Thor ’s slip in the cosmos will lead to himcrossing paths with the Guardians of the Galaxy , and it ’s good to assume that will follow the Black Order establish an attack on the Asgard escape valve vas at the start ofInfinity War . What happens afterwards we do n’t bed , but with Hemsworth , Hiddleston , Ruffalo and Thompson all back for bothAvengers 3&4 , require the Revengers to regroup at some point .
Assuming they all live on , then , after the cataclysmic event of the Infinity Saga , it would make sensory faculty for Thor gather his people ( if any are leave alert ) and go along his original mission to Earth - retrieve , Asgard is not a place , it ’s a the great unwashed . This mean thatThor 4 could accommodate J. Michael Straczynski’sThorrun from 2007 . Here , Asgard was too left in ruins , andThor decided to reconstruct his sanctuary in Oklahoma .
Just likeRagnarokwas broadly based on the various " Ragnarok " account arc ( andsome elements ofPlanet Hulk ) , we would n’t look a perfect lift , but Straczynski ’s ideas could be used as a neat template . We need a New Asgard and while it could technically be make over anywhere in the wandflower , Earth is the most potential campaigner - and Oklahoma is just out there enough for a Waititi movie . Once we ’ve found a new Asgard , though , what happen next ?
What’s In Thor’s Future?
With a new Asgard , does that also stand for a newfangled Thor ? After Hemsworth ’s major narrative arc acrossInfinity War / Avengers 4 , it might make sensory faculty for the MCU to put him in more of a backseat capacity move forward and concenter on someone else . Hemsworth is hot Hollywood property at the moment , so may need to move onto more varied projects , or at the very least modify up his MCU dedication . And considering how vainglorious a shake up the end of Phase 3 promise , a switch would make sensation . But who ?
The popular candidate has been the comics ' female Thor , although considering Jane Foster is out of the MCU that seems unlikely . Besides , we have a better alternative . Tessa Thompson ’s turning as former Asgardian warrior Valkyrie was one ofRagnarok ’s highlights , so Marvel would be honest to just bite the slug and advance her to precede . Elsewhere , Loki had a saving spark that consecrate the character reference a new lease of life ( althougha glance at the Tesseractsuggests his not fully lost his villainous ways ) and one of the few appoint surviving Asgardians , Idris Elba ’s Heimdall , would feel suitable for a further boosted use .
All this said , nobody knows how the MCU willevolve beyond in next twoAvengersmovies- who cognize if there ’s an even an world for Thor to make a Modern home of on - and that ’s true as much of anatomical structure as it is story ; it ’s expected Kevin Feige will do away with the classical Phase makeup of solo adventure follow by anAvengersteam - up , which intend anyThor 4would be a very different beast even fromRagnarok .
-
Thor : Ragnarokfelt like a standalone , yet also create a promising future for the mirthful book legend ; it certainly is n’t quite the conclusion of days it predict to be . In Phase 4 or beyond , someone in the MCU will surely be spinning a power hammer once more .
