Each superhero film is judged by how effectively their villain labored, and for the MCU, the success charge 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 will depend on how you are feeling about Thor: Love & Thunder total.
Taika Waititi, who directed each Love & Thunder and Thor: Ragnarok, gave his ideas on who he thinks can be a superb villain for the Odinson to go up in opposition to 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 someway 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 method and nonetheless giving him issues to return up in opposition to 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 perhaps a bit telling about Waititi’s total 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 components of Thor’s comedian e-book origin and have him go up in opposition to enemies which might be each out of this world and true to the Asgardian’s roots.
