Thor 5 new director
Currently, the new Asgardian superhero franchise is without a director, a void that has created a lot of speculation and anticipation among Marvel fans. Despite the mixed reception of Thor: Love and Thunder , the film’s ending made it clear that Thor would be returning, although Taika Waititi himself confirmed that he would not be directing the next project.
In a recent interview with ComicBook, George Miller revealed his intention to direct the fifth installment, stressing that the main motivation would be the chance to work with Hemsworth again. “I would work with Chris on any project. I really would. He’s an amazing actor with the physical, emotional and mental range to take on complex roles,” Miller explained.
Chris Hemsworth, from villain in Furiosa to Marvel icon
In Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Hemsworth moves away from his usual heroic role to play a darker and more sinister character, showing the versatile side of the actor. According to Miller, the on-screen interaction between Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays Furiosa, was particularly striking, showing a unique chemistry that would translate perfectly to the world of Asgard.
However, Hemsworth revealed some regrets about his performance in Thor: Love and Thunder, hinting at the depth he seeks in his cast. “In the film, we always came back to the same question: ‘This is evil, but what is the purpose behind it?’ It’s not just sad madness,” Hemsworth said in an interview with Empire. “There’s a real purpose, the wheels are turning, and he’s ten steps ahead of everyone else.
