The director is going to shoot Thor 4. The director of the live-action adaptation of Akira may be replaced

Last summer, we reported that Marvel's Thor 4 was officially approved, and the director was confirmed to be Taika Waititi of Thor 3. However, the latter postponed another comic-based movie Akira indefinitely because Marvel's Thor had a higher priority.

However, after winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Jojo Rabbit", Taika Waititi said in an interview that he was unsure about the future of the "Akira" movie.

"A live-action version of Akira? The whole plan has been shelved because it conflicts with Thor, and Thor's release date cannot be moved. So the live-action version of Akira may end up being delayed for two years."

"After Thor, I had no idea what I would be doing in two years. I thought Akira would eventually be done and put on screen, but I wasn't sure I would be directing it."

It seems that in the current environment, the priority of Marvel movies remains unshakable. It remains a mystery whether Warner will change the director of "Akira" because it is unwilling to wait for two years.
