Kevin Feige Teases the Future of Thor Saying There Are "Plenty of Other Incarnations of Thor That We Have Yet to See"
Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder is introducing a new Thor with Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster taking on the mantle of The Mighty Thor. She looks awesome in the role as she looks completely jacked, kicking ass, and wielding the hammer, Mjölnir. With Jane’s Thor being introduced, it opens the door to see other versions of Thor introduced to the MCU.
In fact, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teased the future of the Thor franchise that there are plenty of other incarnations of Thor we have yet to see that they could play with. While talking to the press, Feige said:
"There are these things called comic books that have a lot of stories in them. And that's where all of our stories come from. And if the question is, 'Have you told all the great Thor stories from the comics and movies?' The answer is no. There are lots of them.
"I've always said, our interest in making additional stories is somewhat about continuing the character. It's almost entirely about continuing the experience with the actor. I think of all of our cast, not as their individual characters, but as the Marvel players, who within that character can grow and evolve and change.
"And if we look at the comics as our guide, there are plenty of other incarnations of Thor that we have yet to see."
One of my favorite Thor characters from the comics that I would love to see explored in the MCU is Beta Ray Bill. But, there are a lot of other including War Thor, Throg, Thunderstrike, Thor 2099, Destroyer Thor, Thor-El, Iron Hammer, King Thor, Cosmic King Thor, and more!
There are lots of choices for Marvel, and I’m sure at some point down the line when Chris Hemsworth is ready to stop making Thor movies, Marvel will start introducing some of these other Thor characters to continue the franchise. Beta Ray Bill seems like the obvious first choice, but what other version of the Thor would you like to see?
