The fourth movie in the “Thor” sequence is directed by Taika Waititi, who helmed the effectively-received “Thor: Ragnarok.” The film follows on the heels of “Avengers: Endgame,” which finished with Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), adrift right after the fall of his kingdom Asgard, leaving Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The teaser begins with him as a member of the team, with Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel established to reprise their roles.
