Chris Hemsworth Might Have Hooked A Legendary Sci-Fi Director For ‘Thor 5’

Before the Marvel Cinematic established itself as an unrelenting blockbuster empire, it was an ambitious experiment. After the success of , Chris Hemsworth established a meeting between George Miller and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to discuss Miller tackling the next Thor movie. This is just a rumor so far, but by all accounts, Miller and Hemsworth got along swimmingly during and after their work on Furiosa.

“I would work with Chris on anything. I really would. He’s a wonderful actor. He’s got the full range of all the skills,” Miller told Comicbook in May 2024. “I mean, you’ve got to be athletic, physically. But, you also gotta be athletic emotionally and intellectually to take on these very, ultimately fairly complex, any role really.”

Taika Waititi directed the past two Thor movies, Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder, but he’s focusing on other projects — like his much-anticipated Star Wars movie — for the next few years, leaving Thor 5 needing a director. Miller’s Mad Max experience proves he has the action chops, and the Thor series clearly needs some fresh ideas after Love and Thunder underwhelmed. Again, this is still just a rumor, but it’s one fans can get excited about.
