I sidste måned fremgik det fra en rapport, at efter skuffende resultater på Thor: Love and Thunder, så skal Marvel og instruktør Taika Waititi ikke samarbejde fremadrettet. Det betyder samtidig at den kommende femte Thor-film bliver uden den efterhånden ret genkendelige instruktør.
Dette er nu blevet bekræftet at Waititi selv i et interview med Business Insider:
""I wouldn't know if that's accurate. I know that I won't be involved. I'm going to concentrate on these other films that I've signed on for".
Han benægter dog direkte, at forholdet er syrnet grundet Love and Thunders modtagelse:
"But I love Marvel, I love working with them. I love Chris (...) We're in an open relationship, and it's like if they want to see other people, I'm happy for that. I'd still get back into bed with them one day."
