The expectations forThor 5are high givenThor: Love and Thunder’s mixed performance.Thor: Love and Thunderreceived heavy criticism due to its lighthearted tone and misplaced humor, which took weight away from Gorr’s threat. As seen in the fan-madeThor: Battle of the Godsconcept trailer,Thor 5will likely have a darker tone. The conflict between Norse gods and Olympic gods provides enough material for a grittier but still fantastical MCU movie starring the God of Thunder.
Thor 5 Is More Important Than Ever After Chris Hemsworth’s Love & Thunder Confession
After Chris Hemsworth’s confession about Thor: Love and Thunder, the MCU needs to give him another chance as the God of Thunder in Thor 5.
The impending battle between Thor and Hercules will likely take Chris Hemsworth’s Thor back to his mythological roots. Despite their flaws,ThorandThor: The Dark Worldspent plenty of screentime on Asgard, yet didn’t explore the entirety of Thor’s mythos. Unfortunately,Thor: Ragnarokwiped out Asgard and killed off several key Asgardian characters, butThor 5could still lean heavily on ancient myth through the Olympians and Omnipotence City.

Thor Is The MCU Sequel With The Clearest Premise
Few MCU sequels have been set up as clearly asThor 5. Whereas there are many ways movies likeCaptain America: Brave New WorldandSpider-Man 4could disappoint audiences,Thor 5’s basic premise already offers an exciting event. Not only is Hercules a powerful mythical hero like Thor, but he’s also an important Marvel character with multiple decades' worth of comic book history. The concept of a “god vs god” battle also has the makings of a successful MCU movie, similar toThor: RagnarokandCaptain America: Civil War.
