In the recent San Diego Comic-Con last month, Marvel Studios revealed its Phase Two plans of their superhero cinematic universe and even gave a sneak peak preview of the upcoming film "The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron." Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth also took time to answer a couple of questions about the sequel for his Asgardian character "Thor," We Got This Covered reported. 

When asked when he would be back on the big screen as the Norse god, he said, "Yeah I got a lot of time. I don't think it's just yet, Thor 3. I think it's a ways away." 

Screenrant  said that Marvel's decision to hold off a "Thor" sequel may probably because of the Aussie actor's schedule. The site wrote, "Let's not forget that Hemsworth is a busy guy, with plenty of films on his slate already. Apart from picking up the hammer again for next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron, he's starring in Michael Mann's Blackhat and Ron Howard's Heart of the Sea, he's rumored for Shane Black's Doc Savage, and he's taking over the Snow White and the Huntsman franchise with his own Huntsman-centric spin-off in 2016."

Although no script has been leaked or announced yet, Marvel Studios has already hired writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost to pen the script, according to a report by Variety. Kevin Feige, President of Production for Marvel Studios, also has this to say about hiring Craig Kyle, "I am proud of Craig have enjoyed working with him over the past three years. His creative instincts have helped shaped "Thor" and "Thor: The Dark World" at every level of the filmmaking process".

Christopher Yost who, also wrote the script for "Thor: The Dark World," is also returning and will work alongside Craig Kyle.
