Taika Waititi will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to direct the fourth installment of the Thor films, according to a new report by The Hollywood Reporter. This would be the follow-up to his blockbuster hit Thor: Ragnarok, which released at the end of 2017.

Waititi’s signing on to Thor 4 will consequently bump the live-action Akira project in the work at Warner Bros. to an unknown date in the future. Waititi had been set to direct the project, which was planned for a May 2021 release date, but delays in preproduction caused that film’s schedule to be pushed back to the point where it will now interfere with the development of Thor 4. It is now expected that Akira won’t start production in earnest until after Thor 4 wraps.

Thor: Ragnarok took the Thor franchise to unexpected new heights, becoming the highest-rated of the three films and cruising to a cool $854 million at the box office worldwide under Waititi’s direction.
