Director Taika Waititi, who weaved a global box-office spell with “Thor: Ragnarok“, is all set to return to the franchise, helming “Thor 4“.
Waititi has sealed a deal to write and direct the new sequel after uniting Thor and Hulk in the 2017 blockbuster, “Thor: Ragnarok”, which was the third film of the series.
The development means Waititi’s long-in-development “Akira” adaptation will be put on hold indefinitely.

In “Thor: Ragnarok“, Waititi infused his distinct style of humour and music to the narrative. “There was a conscious effort to put every colour known to man and every weird piece of music… (we) just wanted to make this movie into a big lovable, funny fist and then punch the audience straight in the face,” Waititi had said while promoting “Ragnarok” in Sydney.
