Marvel Studios 2022
A major generational change is currently taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU): Yelena Belova ( Florence Pugh ) is the new Black Widow, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) has trained Kate Bishop ( Hailee Steinfeld ) and will soon be entering She-Hulk ( Tatiana Maslany ) and Iron Man’s successor Ironheart ( Dominique Thorne ) entered the scene.
The suspicion is therefore obvious that there is also a baton or hammer handover on the program in Asgard : Chris Hemsworth resigns as Thor after » Thor 4: Love And Thunder » and is replaced by Jane played by Natalie Portman Foster replaced.
Chris Hemsworth remains Thor
So it was in the Marvel comics, where Thor eventually proved unworthy, had to relinquish his hammer Mjölnir and was henceforth known as Odinsson, while Jane Foster followed in his footsteps as Mighty Thor. But that’s apparently not the plan for the MCU — at least as far as «Thor 3» and «Thor 4» director Taika Waititi knows.

In the current issue of Total Film magazine (via Gamesradar ), Waititi spoke about «Love And Thunder» and also addressed the follow-up topic: «Thor has Stormbreaker, this big axe, but now his hammer is back and will be wielded by someone else. It’s not his hammer anymore. The idea is for someone to take their place.”
«I think a lot of fans might assume that this is a handover of the baton. I don’t know Marvel’s future plans, but I don’t think that’s the case.»
Close to the «Mighty Thor» comics
It remains to be seen what role Jane Foster will play in the future. Is there simply a thunder god and goddess in the MCU after Thor 4: Love And Thunder? Or maybe Jane is from another universe, as some believe after the new trailer ?
After all, Waititi has already revealed that it will be based heavily on the «Mighty Thor» comics, which serve as a template for «Love And Thunder». «We’re staying pretty close to Jane’s storyline and what happened to her because that’s such a big influence on this film. We try to take the best parts of it.”

Maybe that’s a hint for the future. Because in the comics, Jane Foster eventually becomes a Valkyrie. So she could revive the female warriors alongside Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) — or as her successor. After all, the trailer for “Thor 4” shows that the two get along well.
«Thor 4: Love And Thunder» will be released in German cinemas on July 6, 2022.
