While describing the fate of Thor after Avengers: Endgame, Waititi said, “He’s heading to the 7-11 for a little Netflix subscription and at this point, he might be on the couch, who knows.”
Actor Chris Hemsworth will also be back on board as the golden Asgardian warrior, who we last saw jetting off into space with the Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , Waititi’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) also means that he’s no longer working on Akira, Warner Bros.’ big-screen adaptation of the classic manga. The film was previously set for a 2021 release date.
