The Thor franchise has struggled to find its identity outside of showcasing Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in substantial roles.
Phase 3 will further push this idea by hiring directors such as Jon Watts with Spider-Man: Homecoming, as well as Taika Waititi for Thor: Ragnarok.
There are many question marks with regards to the future of the MCU after Phase 3 comes to an end.
Instead of getting the biggest names in Hollywood, Marvel’s recent trend when hiring directors has been to choose up-and-comers who can fit their style within the MCU.
