Taika Waititi Wants To Direct Another THOR Sequel, But Not Quite As You'd Imagine

With the Thor threequel underway across the pond, the movie has thundered its way to a very impressive international box office haul with overwhelmingly positive critics reviews to boot. Currently sitting at 96% with 126 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie figures to find itself in favorable form to pull another bundle of cash once the movie opens here in the US this Friday

Since there has been such a great initial response to the movie it's only natural to begin early speculation on where the character would go next if another movie in the sub franchise is greenlit for 4th seqeul. Speaking with Screen Rant recently, Taika Waititi mentions how he would go more down a route favoring a Ragnarok 2 opposed to what some might figure to be a Thor 4

 

"Yeah, people ask me, 'would you do another one,' and for sure I'd do another one because it wouldn't even feel like doing a fourth Thor film, it would just feel like doing the second Ragnarok film," Waititi continued. "Cause it does feel like in a way, yeah there's been this reinvention in an exciting way. And, I know that Chris feels a real new ownership over the character. He's excited and he knows that character so well, and i know that his character in Trinity War is gonna have some amazing stuff in that.

"So it's exciting cause it feel like, if Chris were to do this again it wouldn't feel like 'oh it's the eighth time I've done Thor,' no it will feel like the second or third time I've done this character," 
Waititi went on to mention Ruffalo's character reinvention as well. "Same with Mark [Ruffalo]. His version of Banner is a brand new version which is way more interesting. And dare I say it, more human. They're the more human versions of the character because I feel like the audience can relate to them right off the bat."



Certainly sounds like Waititi would be eager to give us another installment if Feige grants him that chance. With the way audiences seem to be responding so far it's hard to imagine many would reject another Thor movie regardless of the circumstance. Though there are those skeptics out there that might not jive with Waititi's brand or a new humourous version of Thor, there's no doubt Waititi and Hemsworth have given us a great movie to enjoy.

What do you think? Are you up for another ride with the Revengers, or would you prefer to have the character meet his end some how in the aftermath of Thanos' wreckage. Leave your thoughts in the comments below, and please be courteous to us stateside that have yet to see this flick. No spoilers!

I LOVED Hulk's quinjet scene, it felt really tragic and finally they showed the crazy dualism between banner and hulk. Loved this movie and how fresh the characters felt, gotta watch it a few more times before JL hits :D

@JosephCronos92 - That scenes was fantastic. As simple as it may ahave been, it was for me one of the highlights of the film.

Completely agree with both, they seriously gave hulk and banner more depth, as well as with thor, which i am truly thankful, i always said that, if someone would be able to achieve to do so, would be taika and what a hell of a job he did. God bless him, taika (along with chris)finally made thor a lot more relatable, hope he gets to play at least one more time with these characters.

I don't think they should do a fourth one.

This one really wraps the trilogy up, rather nicely.

Once you see how it ends, you will remember how it all began and you will understand the full arc of the trilogy. There is a scene at the end that is perfectly symmetrical to a scene at the beginning of the first Thor. There's even a reprisal of the music cue from that film.
(They even reprise the score to Thor: The Dark World in a perfect little scene, earlier on in the film with a bunch of little easter eggs).

I just did the whole trilogy, yesterday and it really, really works. To do a fourth film would spoil that.

I'd love to see Waititi do an Avengers film, though.

@GwenLantern - I know what you mean. I'm happy for a fourth if its a new story, so a new trilogy. Could be three films thats about starting a new Asgard. But Thor gets up to some other adventures. I think i'll go watch all 3 in a row and see how it goes because I didnt like the first 2 so it would be cool to see now.

If Taika wants to do it, I'm all for it. I'd love to see what he would do with a Thor / Beta Ray Bill dynamic... and you know he'd include him if he did the sequel.

What, Trinity War? Is he talking about the shitty Geoff Johns lead-in event to the great Geoff Johns Forever Evil event?

Is there a Marvel event named Trinity War aswell?

@Joulipous - I believe that he meant to say "Infinity War." I'm not quite sure if it was Waitit's mistake, or if it was a typo.

I’d like to see a stripped down Thor movie, like a survival movie showing the character at his best

I want to see Beta Ray Bill but I don't know man, I think that story of him and Thor should be told with a little more weight than the lighter tone of Ragnarok. Humor is a must with a character like Beta Ray. lol There's no way there won't be any cracks on a character that has a horse face. I guess it all depends how well Ragnarok is received. Still not cool with the tone they took for film but I'll give it a chance.

Also, I saw Thor Ragnarok at BFI IMAX London. I loved it so much. I don't really like jokes during fight scenes but guess what there weren't any jokes during the fight scenes the came before or after the fights. Hela is amazing and Thor has come of age. Also, it is visually stunning. The opening fight was my favourite. I am sure once you all see it, the battle might be your favourite to of the film.

I'd watch anything this man makes. One of my favorites out there right now, right up there with Refn, Lanthimos, and McDonagh. #InTaikaWeTrust

Im good with Thor movies so no thank you. Id also rather not see Taika do more MCU unless its something like Howard the Duck or something innately silly

Well he's totally wrong, because i can't relate to this impostor!

The character in this movie isn't the Mighty Thor!
