Hemsworth will soon be reprising his role as Thor inย Thor: Love and Thunder, which will mark the first time an MCU hero has gotten a fourth solo film. The movie is also set to feature the return of Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, and Jaimie Alexander as Lady Sig. Some of theย Guardians of the Galaxyย stars areย also expected to appear in the movie. In addition to the many returning favorites,ย Thor: Love and Thunderย will featureย Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher. It was also announced thatย Russell Crowe will be featured in the film, and the actor revealed last yearย that he will be playing Zeus. In the past, director Taika Waititi has teased thatย Thor: Love and Thunderย “is so insane and also very romantic.”ย During a recent chat withย Empire, the director emphasized that it’s “the craziest film” he’s ever done.
“Well, just between [me and] you and the readers, I’ve done some crazy sh*t in my life. I’ve lived, like, ten lifetimes. But it’s the craziest film I’ve ever done,” Waititi shared. “If you wrote down all the elements of this film, it shouldn’t make sense,” he added, “It’s almost like it shouldn’t be made. If you walked into a room and said, ‘I want this and this and this.’ Who’s in it? These people. What are you going to call it?ย Love And Thunder. I mean, you’d never work again. Maybe I won’t after this.”
“It’s very different fromย Ragnarok,” Waititi continued. “It’s crazier. I’ll tell you what’s different. There’ll be far more emotion in this film. And a lot more love. And a lot more thunder. And a lot more Thor, if you’ve seen the photos.”
Thor: Love & Thunderย is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 8th.
