Marvel Fans Hyped Like...

The Office is king of memes, and this one hits this Taika Waititi / Thor 4 announcement right on the head! Other fans have a clear wish-list for what this fourth installment needs to include (hint: Loki and Valkyrie).

Blessed Is Thor 4

Aside from Waititi, Marvel fans are just hyped to hear that Thor 4 is happening...

The Fourth Avenger

...And we here at Comicbook.com are especially hyped to see the first of the Avengers cast get a fourth solo franchise movie!

No Russo

Fans who didn't like sad Thor in Avengers: Infinity War or Fat Thor in Avengers: Endgame are rejoicing that the character is being put back into Taika's hands.

Loki Must Return

Tom Hiddleston's Loki was given a means to be resurrected, thanks to Avengers: Endgame. Now fans want to see 2012 Loki make a grand return in Thor 4.

Damage Control

Thor's roster of supporting characters has taken a serious beating in the final installments of Phase 3 - so Loki isn't the only resurrection fans are hoping for in Thor 4!

...And Beta Ray Bill

In addition to returning characters, fans have one clear pick for a new character for Thor 4 to introduce.

Part Thor

The Thor 4 title jokes have officially begun, and fan artist BossLogic is firing a major first salvo.

Spider-Man: Far From Home and Avengers: Endgame are now in theaters, with Endgame hitting digital on July 30th and Blu-ray on August 13th. Captain Marvel is now available digitally and on home media.
