Thor has an unforgettable Old Man Logan moment that Marvel should steal for the movies
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is almost 20 years old, and Thor has been around since nearly the beginning. Chris Hemsworth debuted as the God of Thunder in 2011’s Thor, which turns 15 on May 6. And it turns out, all these years later, director Kenneth Branagh (yep, Hercule Poirot directed an MCU film) is still thinking about what he would have liked to do with the character had he stuck around in the MCU.
“Part of me would love to finish my relationship with that character. I'd always wanted to do more and indeed had a couple of ideas, more in the territory of James Mangold's brilliant Logan,” Branagh told Business Insider in a recent Q&A. “I would love to see Chris Hemsworth and the others have their own individual final story that takes Thor into a glorious twilight.”
Thor is nowhere near his twilight in the MCU. This is a god who can and will, in theory, live for eons. Though 1,500 years old in the MCU, he’s still a young pup. The comics his films are based on, however, much more freely jump through time and continuity. Because of that, it turns out that Thor has already been given a Logan-style, “glorious twilight” story.
