Each superhero film is judged by how nicely their villain labored, and for the MCU, the success fee of antagonists is up and down. Nowhere is that this extra obvious than with Thor’s films: Loki and Hela are fairly good villains, Malekith and the Darkish Elves aren’t, and Gorr the God Butcher in the end depends upon how you’re feeling about Thor: Love & Thunder general.
Taika Waititi, who directed each Love & Thunder and Thor: Ragnarok, gave his ideas on who he thinks can be villain for the Odinson to go up towards subsequent. Whereas Thor 5 doesn’t appear to be on the docket at time of writing, Waititi revealed in Titan Books’ upcoming film particular e book for Love & Thunder that he’d prefer to “step up” from Hela and “add a villain that’s by some means extra formidable.”
“It’s bought to be one thing that feels prefer it’s carrying on with the evolution of the character,” he continued, “however nonetheless in a really enjoyable manner and nonetheless giving him issues to return up towards that really feel like they’re constructing on the obstacles that he has to beat.” Specifically mentioning Hela as a benchmark for Thor baddies is possibly a little bit telling about Waititi’s general ideas on Gorr, and should get some followers’ minds racing on who may work as such a foe for the hero. Extra apparently, he added that he’d like to usher in extra elements of Thor’s comedian e book origin and have him go up towards enemies which are each out of this world and true to the Asgardian’s roots.
