Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi pitches his vision for an opening of Thor 4 that brings together a trio of Jurassic Park stars.

WARNING: The following article contains minor spoilers for Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok, in theaters now.

It's no secret that director Taika Waititi had a great time working with Marvel Studios on Thor: Ragnarok, as he's already said he'd love to make a sequel. And he may already have a bit of a head start.

While talking with CinemaBlend, Waititi detailed his vision of a potential opening for Thor 4, if a follow-up is indeed in the cards. Waititi's idea involves a play starring Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill and Laura Dern, a callback to the the scene in Ragnarok, and a way to reunite the stars of Jurassic Park in one scene.

"It would be awesome if we somehow got Laura Dern in there, as well," he said. "Thor 4, exactly. All of them go back and do the play again. It's a new play about Asgard's destruction. That might be a great way to start that film."

Goldblum and Neill both appeared in Ragnarok, with Goldblum cast as the Grandmaster and Neill portraying Odin in the play staged for the amusement of Loki, masquerading as the All-Father. Waititi explained he would have loved to put the two in a scene together, but that scheduling conflicts wouldn't permit it.

Now in theaters, Thor: Ragnarok stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Jeff Goldblum as The Grandmaster, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Karl Urban as Skurge.
