Thor 5 has many things to learn from the hits and misses of the four previous MCU movies starring Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder.

Thor's Villains and Allies in The MCU

The MCU’s Thor 5 can learn from both the positive and negative aspects of previous Thor movies.

Despite not being as popular as Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk when the MCU started, Thor has slowly become one of the MCU’s most important characters.

Thor has grown beyond his role as an Asgardian fish out of water, and he has become the first Avenger to star in his own fourth solo movie.

Although Thor only found his footing in Thor: Ragnarok, all Thor movies have had bright spots that outshine their weak parts.

Still, Thor: Ragnarok’s success couldn’t prevent Thor. Love and Thunder from failing to replicate its predecessor’s success.

By the end of Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor’s MCU future is still up in the air, and attempting to repeat what made Thor:

Ragnarok so successful likely wouldn’t work.

So, instead of changing course drastically once again, what the MCU’s eventual Thor 5 could do is draw inspiration from the highs and lows of each previous installment.

Whether that means that Thor 5 will conclude Thor’s MCU character journey or not is a different story altogether,
