Chris Hemsworth's Thor 5 could be in the works, and why that is a brilliant idea
It's been three years since Thor made an independent outing on the big screen, and failed miserably with the 2022 film 'Thor: Love And Thunder'. And just when the hopes of having another Thor movie were being dimmed, a fresh report has suggested that the fifth film in the franchise could just be in the works. Don't hold your horses yet, though. It's just a report.advertisementDaniel Richtman, who's often regarded as an industry insider, especially when it comes to the Marvel cinematic universe, shared the news via his Patreon account. Now, it may or may not be true, but it's enough to keep the hope alive. Because, well, a flop outing doesn't make the entire franchise look less sparkly, especially when there's a lot to explore in the Hercules thread.Richtman, during his latest post, shared that Marvel has green-lit 'Thor 5', and while nothing much about the film has been discussed or finalised yet, director Taika Waititi is not returning to helm the fifth part - which is not a surprise considering the response that the last Thor film got, and his comments on social media that heavily upset the fans.
'Thor 5', if the report is to be believed, is going to be a part of the MCU's next saga, post-'Avengers: Secret Wars'. The latest Avengers movie - 'Avengers: Doomsday'-is already being shot for a December 16, 2026 release. 'Thor 5' will have to come way later in the pipeline. But, that's fine as long as it is happening.advertisementCurrently, in the 'Thor' universe, Loki died in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and our God of Thunder got to know about his love, Jane Foster's death in 'Thor: Love And Thunder'. Thor now has a daughter, named Love, who is the daughter of Gorr the God Butcher, but is resurrected by Eternity and taken in by Thor.
It will be interesting to see how the MCU plans a new timeline, and further new twists to appreciate all that Thor has done so far. Honestly, he is the oldest avenger with divine qualities until Wanda Maximoff entered the universe and became an avenger in 2015. It is only wise to dedicate another film to our mighty God of Thunder and give the franchise a chance to redeem itself.There's a lot that Thor is yet to explore, including navigating through Loki's death and fixing the world with his daughter. Also, if 'Thor 5' happens, Thor would become the only avenger to have five independent movies in the Avenger universe.

Justin Baldoni's Side Says Blake Lively Can't Prove What 'Never Happened' After Losing USD 400 Million Defamation Case
Justin Baldoni's lawyer has fired back at Blake Lively after the judge overseeing the case tossed the filmmaker's USD 400 million lawsuit out. The lawyer, Bryan Freedman, who is representing Baldoni in his case against the actress, shared with TMZ, that they are just getting started. Moreover, he revealed that the judge has asked both parties to come in to amend the director's four out of seven accusations against the mother of four. On Monday, the judge dismissed Baldoni's lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times. Moreover, Marvel was also dropped from the filmmaker's lawsuit after his team claimed that the character Nicepool from Deadpool & Wolverine was a dig at the Jane the Virgin star. Justin Baldoni's attorneys strike back at Blake Lively As for his response to the Another Simple Favor actress and her team of lawyers, Freedman released a statement to TMZ, striking back. He stated, "Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling." The Lawyer added, "While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations." He further went on to mention, "This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' While Lively has emerged victorious in getting the claims against her dismissed, the legal drama with Baldoni has cost her her friendship with Taylor Swift. Though the musician was released from Baldoni's lawsuit some time ago, the sources reveal that the Grammy-winning singer is still not speaking to the actress. The legal battle between the It Ends With Us co-stars began six months after the movie was released. Lively filed the lawsuit against Balddoni on the grounds of s*xual harassment and running a smear campaign against her. As for the director, he filed a countercase against the Age of Adeline star and her husband for defamation and extortion.

Marvel Gets Released From Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively Drama Right After 400 Million USD Lawsuit Dismissal, Know-How
Trigger Warning: This article includes references to sexual harassment. Marvel Entertainment has been officially removed from the ongoing legal case between Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively and Jane the Virgin actor-director Justin Baldoni. On June 9, U.S. District Court Judge Lewis J. Liman granted Marvel's request to quash a subpoena and shield its confidential documents from disclosure. According to PEOPLE, the subpoena had been issued by Baldoni's Wayfarer Parties in an attempt to obtain internal Marvel communications related to a character named Nicepool from Deadpool & Wolverine, written by and starring Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband. Why was Marvel involved in the first place? Baldoni's legal team argued that the Nicepool character was created to harass and ridicule him. In documents sent earlier this year, Baldoni's attorneys claimed the character was part of a broader effort to "mock, harass, ridicule, intimidate or bully" him amid his legal feud with Lively. To support their case, Baldoni's lawyers sent a litigation hold letter on January 7 to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Disney CEO Bob Iger. They demanded that all documents mentioning Baldoni be preserved. However, Judge Liman wrote that the subpoena is now irrelevant. "The information sought [from Marvel] is no longer relevant to a claim or defense in this action," he stated in the court order. Marvel Entertainment first filed a request on April 25, asking the court to issue a protective order over its confidential files and to void the subpoena. With the dismissal of Baldoni's USD 400 million countersuit earlier that day, the court agreed that there is no longer a legal need to involve Marvel in the case. What's next in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni case? While the countersuit was dismissed, Judge Liman stated that Baldoni could revise and refile certain claims by June 23 if he chooses to continue. The countersuit, originally seeking USD 400 million, accused Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and Vision PR, Inc. of defamation, civil extortion, and more. Baldoni had filed it in response to Lively's lawsuit, which alleges sexual harassment and retaliation. She is seeking triple and punitive damages. A trial for Lively v. Wayfarer Studios et al. is scheduled for March 2026.
