He also mentioned wanting to incorporate more outlandish and colorful creatures from Thor's mythology. Thor: Love and Thunder received mixed reviews, but a majority of IGN readers expressed interest in a potential Thor 5.

Chris Hemsworth has confirmed that nothing is official regarding his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he wants a potential "Thor 5" to be "unpredictable." Hemsworth doesn't want to risk playing Thor for so long that Marvel fans start rolling their eyes. While "Thor: Love and Thunder" divided fans and film critics, it was still a box office hit with $760 million worldwide. Hemsworth next stars in Netflix's "Extraction 2," streaming June 16.
Chris Hemsworth has no official plans for a fifth standalone Thor movie, but wants it to be unpredictable and not exhaust the audience. He admits that the previous Thor movie, "Love and Thunder," became too silly and turned off some fans. Hemsworth has appeared in four standalone Thor movies and four Marvel movies. Despite the criticism, "Love and Thunder" was a box office hit. Hemsworth next stars in Netflix's "Extraction 2."
