As of now, there is no official confirmation of a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie titled Thor 5: Protector of Midgard slated for release in 2024. While rumors and fan speculation are circulating about a fifth Thor movie, it is not part of the MCU’s officially announced schedule for Phase 5 or Phase 6. Reports suggest that Marvel Studios may be in early development for Thor 5, but no specific title, storyline, or release date has been finalized.

What We Know About a Possible Thor 5

1. Potential Plot: Based on the post-credit scenes from Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), a sequel could explore Thor’s conflict with Zeus (Russell Crowe) and Hercules (Brett Goldstein), who were teased as future adversaries. Additionally, there is speculation about Thor training his adoptive daughter, Love, and introducing comic characters like Beta Ray Bill or Amora the Enchantress.
2. Director: Taika Waititi, who directed Thor: Ragnarok and Love and Thunder, is unlikely to return. Marvel may look to other directors to steer the film in a new tonal direction, with Gareth Edwards and Kenneth Branagh as possible candidates.
3. Casting: Chris Hemsworth is expected to reprise his role as Thor if the project proceeds. Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) and India Rose Hemsworth (Love) may also return. However, Natalie Portman (Jane Foster) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) are uncertain to appear due to their characters’ previous arcs.
4. Release Speculation: If Thor 5 enters production, it is speculated to release sometime after 2025. As of now, it is not confirmed for 2024.
