Thor: Ragnarok
Thor is the only original MCU character to get a fourth solo film in Phase 4 , butThor : Love & Thunderhas been lay out up much more cognate toRagnarok 2than a properThor 4 . Taika Waititi brought a whole newfangled manner and timbre to the franchise when he came on forThor : Ragnarok , and by all account – include Taika himself – that approach shot will carry intoLove & Thunder . That ’s peachy news for fans givenRagnarok’scritical acclaim and widespread popularity .
Though he was one of the three maincharacters of the MCU ’s Phase 1 , Thor struggled to find his terms as the star of a solo franchise . The firstThorreceived some extolment for Chris Hemsworth ’s performance and the fantastical aesthetic of the Asgard view , but many watcher criticise it for a dim second one-half , make it one of the weakly films in Phase 1 . The subsequence , Thor : The Dark World , is wide seen as the worst film in the entire MCU . In both case , Marvel struggled to equilibrize the ridiculousness of “ techno space gods ” with the heroic scale of a illusion level .

The esthetic , tone , and even the cast were significantly changed , which result the door open for aRagnaroksequel in the same vogue – the 2nd film in a secondThorseries , rather than the fourth in the original . Taika Waititieven allege as much in a 2017 audience withScreen Rant , express that,“I’d do another one because it would n’t even experience like doing a 4th Thor film , it would just feel like doing the second Ragnarok film . Cuz it does feel like in a way , yeah there ’s been this reinvention in an exciting style . ”
WhileThor : Love & Thunderis impart back characters from the first two films like Natalie Portman ’s Jane Foster , it still feels more like a subsequence toRagnarokthan toThororThe Dark World . The return of Lady Sif ( Jaime Alexander ) , Jane , and peradventure others will likely be more reboot than reprisal – a chance to reimagine those characters who were less liked in the first two films in the vivid manner of Waititi’sThoruniverse . That should all be good news program for fans and what they can expect fromThor : Love & Thunder .
