Taika Waititi says he won’t be working on another Thor movie anytime soon.

“I know that I won’t be involved,” Waititi told Business Insider when asked about Thor 5. “I’m going to concentrate on these other films that I’ve signed on for.”

“So that’s six, seven years gone,” he continued, explaining his current slate of film projects. “I’d imagine another Thor would be a lot sooner than that. But I love Marvel, I love working with them. I love Chris [Hemsworth].”

Add Waititi: “I would never feel like they are cheating on me. We’re in an open relationship, and it’s like if they want to see other people, I’m happy for that. I’d still get back into bed with them one day.”
