Over the years, Chris Hemsworth has worked in a plethora of films, and he became one of the hottest celebrities in Hollywood. Renowned for his striking looks, chiseled physique, unparalleled charisma, and versatile acting skills. The Extraction actor first rose to fame in Australia for the portrayal of Kim Hyde in the soap opera Away and Home from 2004 to 2007. Hemsworth got his big break when he was designated to play the character of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo outing as Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder were criticized for being a ridiculous movie for being goofy and fans hated what Taika Watiti had done in the film. And, it looks like that Watiti is set to return for the fifth sequel, leaving the fans devastated.
Is Taika Watiti To Return For Thor 5?
Taika Watiti is a man with many talents as he is renowned for the films that he either produced, directed, or wrote screenplay for. His works are famous for the unique blend of creativity, distinct storytelling, and humor to lighten the mood. With engaging scenes that showcase human emotions and an imaginative world to either lighten or weigh down the viewers’ mood.
Watiti’s most famous works include Lightyear, Free Guy, Our Flag Means Death, and more movies. The Jojo Rabbit director had also directed Thor: Ragnarok which was a massive hit, but he failed to make his distinct mark in Thor 4, leaving the fans furious. Recently, a reliable scooper tweeted how a fifth sequel of the God of Thunder franchise is in development and Watiti is set to return for it.
Thor 5 is in development at Marvel Studios. Unfortunately there is a good chance Taika Waititi will return to direct but it is NOT a done deal. I’d like to see someone like Sam Hargrave doing it, he’ll make a badass Thor movie. pic.twitter.com/IqV53VQeQe

However, the MCU fans are not thrilled to see the director return for another sequel, as the news had only negative responses from the fans.
Nope, Taika has done enough harm.
This film broke my heart. You won’t meet a bigger fan of Thor: God Of Thunder, the most heavy metal comic story EVER TOLD! If you haven’t read it, it’s a must-read. It’s brilliantly written by Jason Aaron, and Esab Ribic’s art is mesmerizing.… pic.twitter.com/XHJCNg7LB2

Cool but please someone else. I’m cool with jokes but just not for the whole entire movie 24/7 like the last one.

That’s a horrific situation if true. TW should be nowhere near it

I hope he doesn’t. Love and Thunder was a low point for everyone https://t.co/U4ecqRCSgS

That would be the worst possible director for Thor 5.
Even Hemsworth didn’t seem happy .

Not only the fans were not thrilled about Watiti’s return but also Chris Hemsworth was not too fond of his return, as he earlier stated his film was totally silly and he did not enjoy doing it.
Chris Hemsworth Found Thor 4 Too Silly
Chris Hemsworth is not a fan of Watiti’s work in Thor 4, as he stated that even though the cast of the film enjoyed working in the film, after some point it became silly, and naturally fans were not too fond of it. Naturally, the film became an eyesore for fans and critics pointing out the poor writing and direction of the film.
“I think we just had too much fun. It just became too silly. It’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective… I love the process, it’s always a ride. But you just don’t know how people are going to respond.”
During an interview with Today, Chris Hemsworth stated that the goofiness featured in Thor: Love and Thunder was because of Watiti’s inner child.
“It was Taika at his craziest. Taika, normally, is kind of at an 11, so you can do the math there. He described it as like he’d been given the keys to the kingdom, and someone said, ‘Here if a seven-year-old was making a movie, what would you do?’ He said, ‘Well, I want to put this in it. I want to do this. I want to try this.’ And everything he suggested, I said yes to, and then we had this insane film in front of us.”
Nevertheless, fans were not too fond of the director’s inner child, as he created a film full of cringe-worthy scenes, and even Chris Hemsworth’s kids did not hold back. As they were not a fan of how the Asgardian traveled in a Viking Longboat, dragged through space by two goats.
Thor: Love and Thunder can be streamed on Disney+.
