Director Taika Waititi is returning to direct ‘Thor 4’ for Marvel Studios, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

Listen to the latest episode of our weekly movies podcast, Adventures in Movies!

Waititi also directed 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, which was seen as a welcome change of pace and tone for the God of Thunder’s movie franchise. Ragnarok raked in almost $854 million worldwide at the box office, and was critically acclaimed.

‘Thor 4’ comes after Endgame, which — SPOILERS — means Loki would be dead in this timeline. It is unknown at this time if the character will appear in any way.

This announcement also comes at a cost for fans of action movies: Warner Bros’ long-awaited adaptation of Akira is also set to be directed by Waititi, and will be pushed back even further as a result of ‘Thor 4.’
