I'm down. I was optimistic about his Akira project, but honestly they should make it a mini-series and not a film. It would be way better for it.

More of his Thor is always welcome though. Whether it's Asgardians of the Galaxy or Thor Ragnarok Electric Boogaloo.

A likely ill-advised live action anime film is being delayed in favor of another MCU classic by Taika?

This is actually surprising to me.

I thought they'd just keep Thor with the Guardians from now on.

I imagine he'd be in Guardians 3 in some capacity, but he was never gonna just...stay with them. He headlines his own franchise, which just started to find its footing in its last installment, and this iteration of the Guardians team is said to be ending after their third movie anyways.

Excited but makes Thor in Guardians 3 kinda superfluous.

I kind of hope it's a passing of torch type movie. Have Beta Ray Bill take Stormbreaker and bring back Jane Foster and have her get Mjolnir somehow.

So... what does this do to Thor and the Guardians? Gunn is still a long ways from starting Vol 3, and has a whole other movie in-between. Atleast at one point, that was to be the kick-off to Phase 4 (or whatever you call the next set of movies). I wonder if this throws the order out of whack a bit?

I'm not shocked and trying not to let myself be disappointed. I said I wouldn't let myself be hyped for Akira until I saw an actual trailer.

I wasn't as hot on Thor 3 as others but think it's the best we've gotten from a solo Thor flick so hopefully second times a charm?

Starting with Ragnarok and then following it up in the preceding Avengers films, Thor has cemented himself as the fun one amongst the original Avengers.

I can't get enough of Thor lol. Just put him in everything, I don't care.

Too bad about Akira.

But I am definitely excited to see Waititi helming FThour.

Out of all the franchises in the MCU, if you told me Thor would be the one that got a fourth movie...

I'm not entirely sure if James Gunn will use Thor, I think it's up to him to decide. While Thor with Guardians was cool as hell, I want to see the story that Gunn wants to tell with these characters, lots of insane potential after the last two Avengers films.

What about Guardians 3 and Thor? Is he just going to leave them in the first 5 minutes of the movie?

Thor 4 seems like it'll be a while off- Waititi hasn't even started on the script.

Akira had script problems, according to Hollywood Reporter. Waititi probably knew shit wasn't gonna work with that film.
