In 2017, six years after Chris Hemsworth debuted as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, filmmaker Taika Waititi delivered Thor: Ragnarok, which leaned more into comedy than the previous two Thor movies. The end result was a success across the board, leading to Waititi being brought back for Thor: Love and Thunder, which went even harder on the humorous moments. He said as much while discussing the character’s return in the upcoming Marvel movies Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. I can’t wait to see these ‘Avengers’ movies. Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, and Avengers: Secret Wars will follow on December 17, 2027.
