WARNING: This post contains Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers
Marvel's confirmation that Thor will return after Thor: Love and Thunder surprised Taika Waititi and Chris Hemsworth. As one of the Original Six Avengers, the God of Thunder has been an integral character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since 2011, Hemsworth has starred in four solo Thor movies and all four Avengers films, most recently appearing in Thor: Love and Thunder.

The Thor: Love and Thunder credits ends with a title card confirming Thor will return in the MCU, which was news to the film's director.
