With a huge amount of experimentation, intensive exploration of the universe and introducing more and more new characters, the next movie about Thor in the fourth MCU phase feels like a kind of pre-and post- Avengers: Endgame era mix . The well-known god of thunder, one of the earliest members of the Avengers group, will face not only the intra-cinematic world after the war with Thanos, but also the challenges of the creators and the expectations of viewers in connection with this new, in a sense experimental cinematic phase.
Thor: Love and Thunder will begin production in January 2021. The shooting will take place in Australia, as was the case with the previous Thor: Ragnarok . The news related to this date has been contradictory and uncertain for a while about the role Chris Hemsworth is expected to play in the upcoming Mad Max movie (see: The Mad Max spinoff continues ), but January became an official date in the end. The premiere itself, which was announced a week earlier than originally planned, also underwent a slight calendar shift – on February 11, 2022 instead of February 18, 2022. The director, Taika Waititi, reacted to this change with a familiar sense of humor by posting on Twitter:
At Comic Con in San Diego in 2019, there was information that Thor: Love and Thunder will be drawing inspiration from comic books. It was also announced that the film will feature a female version of Thor, played by Natalie Portman, which (with the exception of a guest appearance in Avengers: Endgame ) we haven’t seen in the MCU since Thor: The Dark World . Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), the new ruler of Asgard, will also return to the screen. The details of the role of Christian Bale remain a mystery, although we know that he will play the role of a villain . So far, there is also no information that Tom Hiddleston would reappear alongside Chris Hemsworth as his brother, Loki.
