Since Thor: Love and Thunder was Hemsworth and Waititi’s reunion project after the 2017 smash hit Thor: Ragnarok, there were great hopes for the film. Regrettably, it fell short of expectations, which prompted Marvel Studios to reconsider how they handled the character as they shaped his destiny.

But that doesn’t mean the MCU can’t make advantage of the setup from Thor: Love and Thunder, particularly when it comes to bringing back a few people.

To begin with, Thor 5 might feature Hercules’ revenge story, which would set the stage for a larger role for him in the MCU. Jane can return in the interim if Thor can make contact with Valhalla, the location of their most recent encounter in Thor: Love and Thunder.

Regarding Loki, there are a few approaches to bring the brothers back together. First off, if Sacred Timeline Loki is in Valhalla, Marvel Studios has the ability to revive him. If not, the story can bring 2012 Loki—who now travels with Mobius in an attempt to comprehend the multiverse—to his Asgardian sibling.
