Avengers: Endgame
Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) almost fought his honest-to-god ego inAvengers : Endgame . Odinson has significantly changed over the age since his introduction in the 2011 filmThordirected by Kenneth Branagh . And find out this current iteration of the case square off against that edition of himself would ’ve been cool to see . It was ab initio in the cards for the in style Marvel smash hit , but the idea was finally scrapped as revealed by directors Joe and Anthony Russo .
The culmination of everything that has transpire in the MCU since it was kicked off in 2008 via Jon Favreau’sIron Man , there was a mass of narrative boxes that it had to tick for work . Not only did it have to render the resolution to the Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) trouncing involve the Infinity Stones that came in the first place into play in last year’sAvengers : Infinity War , it also had to experience like an merger of 21 films in the enfranchisement that came before it . The Russos , alongside writer Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely , accomplished this in various way , but one of the most interesting one came through the champion potentially confronting their old ego that was made possible due to the movie ’s time - travel panorama .

While it was Captain America ( Chris Evans ) who had adirect web with himselffrom the events ofThe Avengers ' Battle of New York from 2012 and Nebula ( Karen Gillan ) with her malevolent counterpart from 2014’sGuardians of the Galaxy , apparently , Thor was supposed to have his own similar moment inEndgame . Speaking with MTV’sHappy Sad Confusedpodcast , the Russos said that the initial plan was to have a Thor vs. Thor face-off in Asgard . However , they felt like"it to a fault complicated [ the plot],“adding that they also liked the " Cap vs Cap well " so they generate up the moment . Instead , they gave Thor a different experience when he went back in time - another opportunity to talk to his ma and properly say goodbye to her :
" I think there , we also remit to the plot line between Thor and his mother . [ It ] was so resonant , that we really wanted to run … That was really more a part of Thor ’s journeying and repair than confronting his former ego . So that ’s really what happen there , why we went with that . "
Odinson ’s talk with Frigga ( Rene Russo ) is arguably one of the more emotional prospect in the film . It drove the theme that this God was receive an experiential crisis - something that everyone can colligate to , and only his female parent can get him to focus on the important goal . This exchange with his mother also displace Thor ’s discharge onward , make it the better choice when it came to the character ’s journey into the past inEndgame , as he becomes more unfeigned to who he really is .
It would ’ve been coolheaded to see old Thor issue forth into inter-group communication with his current version of himself , especially since this new one is more relaxed and less Shakespearian thanks to his experiences in recent years . But considering that there ’s still so much out front in his story now thathe join the Guardians of the Galaxyand hand off ruling duty to Valkyrie in New Asgard , the second would n’t have that same impact compared to Captain America vs Captain America knowing thatAvengers : Endgametechnically envelop up his discharge in the MCU - it ’s just more appropriate thematically .
