Acclaimed director Taika Waititi has confirmed rumors that he will not be helming a fifth ThorThor Odinson is a fictional superhero from Marvel Comics and... More movie for Marvel Studios anytime soon. However, he harbors no ill will and would potentially work with Marvel again down the line.
In an interview with Business Insider this week, Waititi plainly stated “I won’t be involved” if Marvel pursues another ThorThor Odinson is a fictional superhero from Marvel Comics and...

The follow-up, 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder, grossed over $760 million globally but received a more muted response from audiences and critics.
Despite not being involved in ThorThor Odinson is a fictional superhero from Marvel Comics and... More 5, Waititi stressed he still loves working with Marvel and Chris Hemsworth. “I would never feel like they are cheating on me,” he said lightheartedly about Marvel potentially moving forward without him.
“We’re in an open relationship, and it’s like if they want to see other people, I’m happy for that. I’d still get back into bed with them one day.”
