Fans had tremendous hopes for the Thor: Love and Thunder movie back in 2022. Unfortunately, Marvel actor and director Taika Waititi’s vision failed to fully materialize which led to massive disappointment for fans.

It could be argued that it was impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns being at the peak when the majority of the production process took place. Nonetheless, the palpable disappointment for the lackluster film was reflected in Chris Hemsworth as well.

It seems the actor is finally ready to rectify that mistake by taking control in the next movie. According to World of Reel, Hemsworth has apparently helped mediate a meeting between Marvel boss Kevin Feige and Australian director George Miller.

Hemsworth and Miller collaborated on the 2024 movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which garnered tremendous praise from audiences and critics alike. As a result, the report came as a pleasant surprise to fans. Moreover, the outlet claimed that there are plans being made for a solo Hulk movie as well.

According to the report, the February release of Captain America: Brave New World would make way for an upcoming solo Hulk film. The movie, already titled World War Hulk, would presumably revolve around Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk losing control after his wife’s death and going on a warpath against Earth’s protectors.

A high-intensity action drama, Hulk’s solo debut on the big screen has many fans hyped up for it. George Miller, for his part, has shown interest in superhero movies for a long time. In fact, he was once on board to direct Justice League: Mortal, before it was shelved during pre-production.

As a result, reports of his inclusion in the projects come as good news to many. If anything, fans have been appreciating Chris Hemsworth more for setting up the meeting with Kevin Feige for the upcoming movie.

However, it is important to mention that it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. It will be interesting to see if the studio comes out with its own statement on the matter anytime soon.

Thor: Love and Thunder is available for streaming on the Disney+.
