Taika Waititi Says Thor 5 Villain Would Be Stronger than Hela

Director Taika Waititi has shared his thoughts on the potential villain of Thor 5.

Waititi is known for directing the two latest movies in the Thor franchise for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Thor: Ragnarok received positive reviews for its fun tone and action sequences, his latest movie Thor: Love and Thunder received a mixed response.

Will Taika Waititi direct Thor 5?

There are no current plans for a fifth Thor movie, and it is unknown whether Waititi will return to direct it. However, he recently told Screen Rant about what he would do if he got to direct another Thor movie.

“What is left to do to him?” Waititi said. “It’s got to be something that feels like it’s carrying on with the evolution of the character, but still in a very fun way and still giving him things to come up against that feel like they’re building on the obstacles that he has to overcome. I don’t think we can have a villain that’s weaker than Hela. I feel like we need to step up from there and add a villain that’s somehow more formidable.”

Hela was the villain of Thor: Ragnarok, portrayed by Cate Blanchett. The villain of Thor: Love and Thunder was Gorr the God Butcher, portrayed by Christian Bale.
