Marvel’s Thor 5 Update: Valhalla, Thor Corps, and What to Expect from the Next Movie

Thor 5 will start production in 2026 and is planned to release in 2027. It will be Chris Hemsworth‘s last Thor movie.

In a January Discord Q&A (via The Cosmic Circus), insider Alex Perez confirmed that Hemsworth’s Thor will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Perez also shared that Thor 5 will include Valhalla, the afterlife for fallen warriors. The Thor Corps will appear, showing different versions of Thor from various universes. Hercules and Ares will also have major roles, either as rivals or allies.

A scooper previously reported on X that Thor 5 is aiming to start production in early 2025. Gareth Edwards, Chloé Zhao, and Kenneth Branagh are among Marvel’s top choices to direct the film.

Valhalla will be revisited in the story, where Thor will gain extraordinary new abilities. Beta Ray Bill and the Thor Corps will be introduced through multiversal events, and Amora the Enchantress will make an appearance, tying into Secret Wars.

Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), was rumored to direct Thor 5. However, reports say that Marvel Studios has removed him because Love and Thunder was not well received.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, George Miller, who recently worked with Hemsworth on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga alongside Anya Taylor-Joy, discussed the possibility of directing Thor 5.

Miller said, “I would work with Chris on anything. I really would. He’s a wonderful actor. He’s got the full range of all the skills. Miller added, “I mean, you’ve got to be athletic, physically. But, you also have gotta be athletic emotionally and intellectually to take on these very, ultimately fairly complex, any role really. So, I was very lucky with all my cast and particularly in the way that Anya and Chris matched each other. Particularly towards the end of the month.”

Thor 5 could be released in 2027.
