Taiki Waititi Wants Thor To Face A Stronger Villian
In Thor Ragnarok, The son of Odin faces Hela, Odin’s firstborn who is one of the strongest villains in the MCU. It was only when the towering Fire Demon known as Surtur was reborn that the Asgardian Goddess of Death was finally killed, though it came at the cost of Asgard itself. So Taika Waititi wants to unleash someone even more powerful than Hela in Thor 5
During the interview, Taika Waititi said, “What is left to do to him? It’s got to be something that feels like it’s carrying on with the evolution of the character, but still in a very fun way and still giving him things to come up against that feel like they’re building on the obstacles that he has to overcome. I don’t think we can have a villain that’s weaker than Hela. I feel like we need to step up from there and add a villain that’s somehow more formidable.”
