Chris Hemsworth's Thor gets a new look and a power upgrade in a new fan-made poster for Marvel Studios'
Thor 5. Marvel Studios hasn't confirmed the development of Thor 5, but the project has been speculated to be bringing Chris Hemsworth back to the MCU, potentially even for his last adventure as the Asgardian God of Thunder.
Thor is currently the only MCU hero to helm four solo feature films, spanning 2011's Thor, 2013's Thor: The Dark World, 2017's Thor: Ragnarok and 2022's divisive Thor: Love and Thunder, but Thor 5 in the MCU could extend this record even further.
Even though Marvel Studios hasn't confirmed Thor 5's development, theories have arisen concerning what adventure Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder could embark on. A fan-made poster shared by Hazzaa Jarrar gives Thor a grounded, realistic outfit, but arms him with both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker as the new "Protector of Midgard".
The

Speaking to Vanity Fair, even Hemsworth noted that Thor 5 should "close the book" on the franchise.

Hemsworth revealed that he inherited two copies of the APOE4 gene, making him eight-to-ten times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Hemsworth has already dedicated over a decade to playing Thor, and he's been such a core part of the franchise, but his personal circumstances may necessitate a departure.
