Production History
By the release of Ragnarok, Waititi and Marvel had discussed a spin-off Marvel One-Shot short film following the characters Korg and Miek, but it was unfeasible due to Marvel's commitment to producing three feature films a year. Feige said Marvel still had plans for those characters, but did not specify.[1] In January 2018, Hemsworth indicated his interest in continuing to play Thor, despite his contract with Marvel Studios scheduled to end after Avengers: Endgame,[2] saying the next month "if there's another great script that comes along" he would consider playing the character again,[3] and later added, "I’d play this character for as long as anyone would let me," crediting Waititi for revitalizing his interest in Thor.[4] He and Waititi had discussed what they would want in a potential fourth Thor film by then.[5] By April 2019, Thompson believed that a pitch had been made for a sequel to Ragnarok that involved Waititi returning.[6] By July 2019, Waititi had signed a deal with Marvel to write and direct a fourth Thor film.[7]
