Screen Rant lately sat down with Waititi to discussThor : Ragnarokand how interested he would be in yield for another installment in theThorseries . While the music director was on add-in with the idea , he revealed that it would n’t really sense like doing a fourth motion picture , but rather more likeRagnarok 2 . Waititi elaborated further on this point , say :
" Yeah , people ask me , ‘ would you do another one , ’ and for certain I ’d do another one because it would n’t even finger like doing a 4th Thor film , it would just experience like doing the second Ragnarok film . Cuz it does feel like in a room , yeah there ’s been this reinvention in an exciting elbow room … So it ’s exciting cuz it feels like , if Chris were to do this again it would n’t feel like ‘ oh it ’s the eighth fourth dimension I ’ve done Thor , ’ no it will feel like the 2d or third time I ’ve done this character . Same with Mark [ Ruffalo ] . "
Waititi ’s logical thinking certainly defend up and his need to bring a reinvent Thor and Hulk to the MCU is sound when considering the average answer to previousThorfilms ( especiallyThor : The Dark World ) , and a continuation of those reinvented characters is the ordered next step . What ’s also compelling , however , is the director ’s interestingness inreinventing the Hulkas a quality and team him up with Thor . Would Bruce Banner retrovert to that potentialThor 4film ? Obviously there ’s no mode to definitively say at the second , but the prospect is intriguing .
Still , withThor : Ragnarokrumored to be one of the funniest MCU films ( the film ’s runtime waseven extendedbecause of cut joke that were re - added to the film ) , some fan who are growing well-worn of the more comedic Marvel films may not want Waititi to return for any potentialThor 4film . With how well receivedThor : Ragnarokhas been thus far , however , it seems more likely than not that Marvel will want to bring Waititi back . Either room , fans will simply have to wait and see .
