Aside from Chris Hemsworth’s casting in Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel has been pretty quiet about the future of Thor. There has been some talk about a fifth Thor film, but nothing official has been announced, and if this new rumor is true, it makes sense as to why.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman revealed (via CB) that Marvel Studios is developing a project known as Thor Quest, a title from a 2023 children’s book centered on a young Thor’s first quest to find Mjolnir.
There’s no information pointing toward whether the Marvel Studios project is a movie or a TV show, but potentially shifting the focus to a young version of Thor could mean Hemworth’s God of Thunder might indeed be retiring the character after the next Avengers crossover.
This, like all rumors, is just that for now, but it could point to a reason behind Hemsworth’s farewell-esque tribute video that he shared last month. As usual, we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.
