The Rumour:

Taika Waititi is keen to return and do another Marvel film, but it won't be Guardians 3. The director ruled himself out of replacing Gunn on that project along with the likes of Edgar Wright and numerous other directors, but did say to Deadline that he is still talking to Marvel about the prospect of collaborating with the studio again, and that he wants "to do another movie with them."

Waititi doesn't go on to say what film that would be, but with Chris Hemsworth reportedly open to the prospect of returning as Thor after Endgame, it's no surprise to hear that fans are hoping a fourth film featuring the God of Thunder could be on the agenda.

The Response:

Given the success of Thor: Ragnarok, it would be an absolute no-brainer for Marvel to recruit Waititi's services again. That film completely rejuvenated the Odinson's character and is commonly regarded as the best Thor film, if not one of the best MCU films released thus far.

So, whether it be a fourth Thor film or something else entirely (Valkyrie spin-off, anyone?), one can presume Marvel will call the director back, and that he'll be involved in Phase 4 in one way or another.
