Final thoughts and excitement for Season 2

  • Shogun is officially getting a second season with filming set for January 2026 in Vancouver.

  • The story jumps ten years ahead, placing us deeper into the Edo era with Toranaga in power but on unstable ground.

  • Expect fewer large scale battles and more political maneuvering as Toranaga manages a fragile new alliance.

  • Both Toranaga and Blackthorne return, played again by Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, alongside the original supporting cast and many new characters.

  • The creative team, including key writers and directors from Season 1, is back, even though the show is now telling an original story beyond the book.

  • The scale and cost of production suggest a long post production window, making a likely release sometime in 2027.

  • “It kind of gives us an era when Toranaga is in power, but it is fragile.”

  • “It will probably be less battles and more juggling this fragile new alliance that he is building.”

  • “They are no longer pulling from the book, they are beyond that at this point.”

  • “With the very expensive and long shoot, it is probably not going to release till 2027, but cameras are rolling.”

  • “We have something happening that is incredible. I cannot wait for another season of Shogun.”

Taika Waititi Not Directing Thor 5

Taika Waititi Not Directing Thor 5

In a surprising turn of events for Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans, director Taika Waititi has confirmed he will not be involved in the upcoming Thor 5. This news marks a significant shift in the franchise’s direction, as Waititi has been a key figure in redefining Thor’s character in recent films. Taika Waititi, the acclaimed director behind “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Thor: Love and Thunder,” recently announced he would not be directing the next Thor movie. Speaking with Business Insider, Waititi cited his busy schedule, which includes a Star Wars project and the Akira adaptation, as the primary reason for stepping away from the MCU for now. Despite his departure, Waititi maintains a positive relationship with Marvel, humorously describing it as an “open relationship” and expressing his willingness to collaborate again in the future​​. Waititi’s influence on the Thor series has been notable, especially in introducing a more humorous and quirky take on the character. His thoughts on the direction of Thor 5, particularly regarding the villain, suggest a desire for a more formidable adversary than Hela, the antagonist from “Thor: Ragnarok.” However, with his departure, the actual direction the film will take remains uncertain​​. Chris Hemsworth, who portrays Thor, has expressed his views on the character’s future. In the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast, Hemsworth spoke about the need for another reinvention of Thor, hinting at a possible departure from the comedic tone that characterized Waititi’s films. He emphasized the importance of evolving the character to keep both the audience and himself engaged, suggesting a potential shift in tone and direction for Thor 5​​.
