Taika Waititi's Unexpected Motivation for Directing 'Thor'

Taika Waititi reveals that he initially had "no interest" in directing a Marvel film, including "Thor: Ragnarok," but accepted the opportunity due to financial reasons. He considered the "Thor" franchise to be the least popular and had never read the comics as a child. Waititi saw Marvel reaching out to him as a sign that the franchise didn't know where to go next. Although he wrote and directed "Thor: Love and Thunder," he stated that he most likely won't be involved in a fifth "Thor" movie, as he has other projects lined up. However, he expressed his love for Marvel and willingness to collaborate with them again in the future. Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, hinted that a new "Thor" installment could potentially serve as the character's finale.
