Thor is one of the original Avengers that was present during the events ofAvengers(2012). WhileChris Hemsworthtakes a break from acting, the way for Thor’s journey has reached its final destination. According to a theory, Thor could very well sacrifice his life for a redemption arc that feels satisfying in the end.
As stated earlier, Marvel likes to call back and reference a lot of its own material. When Thor Odinson faces his final battle inAvengers: Secret Wars,he would likely remember Iron Man’s ultimate sacrifice when he wiped out Thanos’ army inAvengers: Endgame(2019). This would feel like a proper conclusion to the character arc.

Initially debuting alongside Norse gods inThor(2011). Chris Hemsworth’s Thor Odinson has always been…confused. After losing Jane inThor: The Dark World(2013), the events ofRagnarokfocus entirely on Thor finding his home amongst the people. After things settle down, Jane Foster once again enters Thor’s life when she gets picked up by Mjolnir inThor: Love and Thunder(2022).
Without a purpose, the character remains largely chill in his own life. Sacrificing himself when calamity strikes may just be the purpose that Thor needs afterThor: Love and Thunderfailed to perform greatly at the theaters.
Avengers: Secret Warsis slated for a release date on 1st May 2026 and will be the final movie of Phase 6 of the MCU.
