Overview
- Branagh, speaking Wednesday in a Business Insider interview, said he hopes to return to close Thor’s arc with a more serious, Logan-inspired final film.
- He explained he passed on directing the 2013 sequel because Marvel shoots and postproduction were intense, and he needed a break with Kevin Feige’s support.
- He praised the later Thor entries as strong films yet said his own approach would lean into gravitas rather than humor.
- He debunked talk that Daniel Craig was ever in line to play Thor, saying he did not see that happening during his tenure casting the role.
- Thor is reported to appear next in Avengers: Doomsday, and a fifth solo movie has been rumored but not confirmed, with Branagh adding that Marvel’s long-term plans may already be set.
