To all the original Avengers fans, Chris Hemsworth has come through for Thor 4. We assumed he would just be a Guardian of the Galaxy now, but now there’s more!
While Avengers: Endgame saw an end to Chris Evans Captain America and Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man franchises. We thought it was the end of the Avengers. We also know that Thor went off-world with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
While Natasha Romanoff is getting a spin-off series with Scarlet Johansson, we thought we would not be seeing any more of the original Avengers. Oh and of course there’s Mark Rufallo’s Hulk too.

Where Does Thor 4 Pick Up?
Thor 4 will be a follow-up to Thor: Ragnarok. Meaning events after Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. We can assume that around half the Asgardians are dead (thanks to pre-Infinity War Thanos), and those who aren’t are with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) in Scandinavia.
Loki’s death really tore him so Thor gave up the throne and the Avenger are no more post-Endgame. So is the God of Thunder officially a Guardian now?
We’ll see Taika Waititi return in the director’s seat. The film-maker brought a special brand of cheeky humor to the third installment. Apparently the people at Marvel Studios liked him so much that he inked a deal to write and direct Thor 4.
Rumor has it as we explore the Nine Realms in Thor, we might get to see Beta Ray Bill. The hero was teased in Thor: Ragnorok as we see Beta Ray Bill’s head on Sakaar’s tower as one of the wasteland’s former ‘champions‘.
Thor as a Guardian?
There is still a lot of speculation around whether or not Thor is a Guardian now.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 director James Gunn basically wings his scripts without any regard for ‘how it was supposed to be based on comics‘.
So Thor being a Guardian is on the cards. The film-maker also revealed that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 would break up the team (we hope no one dies though, again). That means new characters might become the new Guardians of the Galaxy.
