George Miller of Mad Max fame may be an auteur filmmaker, but he has never been one to shy from a big franchise movie—once being attached to direct a Justice League movie. Now it looks like Miller may be open to working with Marvel Studios down the line.
Talking to ComicBook, Miller talks about possibly taking on a fifth Thor movie with Chris Hemsworth, to which he replied, “I would work with Chris on anything. I really would. He’s a wonderful actor. He’s got the full range of all the skills… I mean, you’ve got to be athletic, physically… But, you also gotta be athletic emotionally and intellectually to take on these very, ultimately fairly complex, any role really.
As of now, nobody is in the director’s chair for the next Thor movie, and it looks like the audience has run out of enthusiasm for Thor: Love and Thunder helmer Taika Waititi. With Sam Raimi being able to take on Doctor Strange, there could be room for Miller to try on Thor, should he and Marvel come to some kind of agreement.
For now, Miller has managed to get a memorable performance out of Chris Hemsworth with the character of Dementus in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. With Miller’s penchant for dazzling visuals and costumes, he could very well be a perfect choice to take on another Thor movie—especially with the way they’ve evolved with Waititi’s direction over the past few years.
I’m just hoping Hemsworth has some enthusiasm left after the relentless bashing of the last film (which I thought was better than Ragnarok).
A fifth Thor movie has not been officially announced.
