"I've got to be careful how I word that because I have no idea what's happening in the next phase," Hemsworth recently explained when asked about Thor's future. "There's always conversations, like with Extraction. Before anything is official, people are throwing around ideas. But officially, I don't know."

He added, "I don't want to continue to do it until people are so exhausted that they roll their eyes when they see me come on the screen as that character ... If an audience wants to see it, and if there's something that we believe is exciting and fun, then great. I've loved being able to reinvent that character a few times. I don't have the answer yet, but I would love to try and [figure out] how we can do that again and keep it a little unpredictable."
