After the confusion of delayed dates and the fight against the pandemic, cinema productions are starting to return to their daily rhythm. There is official information in connection with the movie Thor: Love and Thunder , about the start of shooting and the premiere.
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.
