Kevin Feige Ponders A Potential Third THOR Movie; Says THE DARK WORLD Ends A 'Sub-Trilogy'
Depending on the success of Thor: The Dark World, it seems we're likely get another solo outing with the God of Thunder. Surprised? Of course not, but Kevin Feige says nonspecific ideas already exist!
While Thor: The Dark World doesn't hit theaters worldwide for another two weeks, that hasn't stopped chatter from sprouting about a potential third installment which is expected of the Marvel brand. But as Chris Hemsworth believes another solo Thor adventure will see the Asgardian deal with Ragnarok, the Norse apocalypse, producer Kevin Feige confirms that ideas already exist.
"Thor's next adventure will be Age of Ultron," says Feige during a video live chat. "So, that's where all the Thor effort is going. But there are things you will see at the end of [The Dark World] that certainly hint towards and could lead towards a third Thor adventure if that’s what audiences want to see. We definitely have a story we’d like to tell." Speaking on the same possibility during a chat with Slash Film, Kevin Feige added "I don’t think [a Loki movie] would be before Thor 3 if there is a Thor 3 and while we certainly have ideas of where we would like that to go, there are no specifics. We have to see how this one does and then go from there."
When asked basically if this potential third installment would complete Thor's solo outings (a trilogy), Kevin Feige responded: "We don't build any of the movies to be a trilogies; we work on one movie at a time and really focus on making that the best film. And if it works and if people enjoy it, then we get to tell another story. But what's interesting about The Dark [World], is it kind of is a completion of a trilogy already if you look at the first Thor, Avengers and then The Dark [World] - particularly for the character Loki - you will see a very sort of cohesive arc for that character. So, we can sort of call it a sub-trilogy within the broader [Marvel Cinematic Universe]." Hopefully this means we'll finally see Hela and Surtur on screen. What do you think?
Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. It opens in theaters November 8, 2013.
