As of now, “Thor 5,” which has been in development for a few years, doesn't have a director attached to its name. In fact, interest has waned on the character, to the point where we haven’t heard much about it.
However, if, say, one George Miller were to jump onboard and direct the fifth ‘Thor’ then it would definitely add a little more excitement and intrigue for many, even some who might not necessarily be fans of Marvel.
Miller was asked by ComicBook.com if he would be interested in directing his “Furiosa” star, Chris Hemsworth, on “Thor 5”. Surprisingly, Miller said he’s more than game and that he would “work with Chris on anything.” His answer has been met with real glee with Marvel fanboys and now the plan is quite clear: GET GEORGE MILLER.
The last ‘Thor’, Taika Waititi’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” was a flat, unfocused and messy sequel. There were a few fun cameos, including a hilarious Matt Damon, and Russell Crowe playing a fat Zeus, but the CGI overload and weak storyline made this easily one of the worst MCU entries.
One should also not be surprised by Miller’s interest in directing an MCU movie. He had a planned DCU movie (“Justice League: Mortal”) fall apart during the very final days of pre-production. That will remain one of the great cinematic what-ifs. Just imagine Miller’s visual pow directing a ‘Justice League’ movie …
In a 2019 interview with Deadline, Miller defied Martin Scorsese’s anti-Marvel take and admitted to being a big fan of the MCU:
I watch all of them. To be honest, in terms of this debate, cinema is cinema and it’s a very broad church. The test, ultimately, is what it means to the audience.
Miller additionally pointed out Scorsese’s “hubris” in assuming that any commercially successful movie would constitute compromised art. “It’s such a broad spectrum, a wide range and to say that anyone is more significant or more important than the other, is missing the point. It’s one big mosaic and each bit of work fits into it.”
Miller isn’t just a director of 'Mad Max’ movies. Least we forget, he also directed “The Witches of Eastwick,” “Babe: Pig in the City,” “Happy Feet,” and “Happy Feet Two.”
