  • HBO is developing V for Vendetta with Pete Jackson writing and DC Studios leadership producing.

  • Expect character driven storytelling with a focus on personal stakes inside a political thriller frame.

  • The series has strong runway at HBO, which has a history of turning comic properties into prestige TV.

  • The 2005 film set a high bar for mood and iconography, so casting for V and Evey will be pivotal.

  • Early cues to watch include period setting, one season retelling versus ongoing world build, and how closely it tracks the graphic novel’s themes.

  • “The mask is iconic, but the power of V for Vendetta is the way it asks who gets to define freedom.”

  • “If this show keeps the human story front and center, the politics will land without feeling like a lecture.”

  • “Casting V and Evey decides the show’s heartbeat before a single set piece is shot.”

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​​.
