It is intended to be the sequel to 2011's Thor, 2013's Thor: The Dark World, and 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, and the twenty-ninth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Hemsworth and Waititi had discussed returning for a sequel to Ragnarok by February 2018. Love and Thunder was officially announced in July 2019, with the pair attached alongside Thompson and Portman; the latter agreed to return to the franchise, after not appearing in Ragnarok, when Waititi revealed plans to adapt the Mighty Thor comic books in which Portman's character Jane Foster takes on the mantle and powers of Thor. Robinson joined the film in February 2020. Filming is scheduled to begin in August 2020 in Sydney, Australia.

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 5, 2021.

Production

Development

Chris Hemsworth indicated in January 2018 that he was interested in continuing to play Thor, despite his contract with Marvel Studios ending with his role in Avengers: Endgame (2019),[8] saying the next month that he would consider playing the character again if there was "another great script".[9] He later stated that he would "play this character for as long as anyone would let me", crediting Thor: Ragnarok (2017) director Taika Waititi for revitalizing his interest in Thor.[10] Hemsworth and Waititi had discussed what they would want in a potential fourth Thor film by then.[11] By April 2019, Thompson believed that a pitch had been made for a sequel to Ragnarok that involved Waititi returning.[12]

In July 2019, Waititi officially signed a deal to write and direct a fourth Thor film, with Hemsworth expected to reprise his role.[13] Later that month at San Diego Comic-Con, the film was officially announced as Thor: Love and Thunder, with a release date of November 5, 2021. Hemsworth and Thompson were confirmed to be returning, along with Natalie Portman who portrayed Jane Foster in Thor (2011) and Thor: The Dark World (2013).[1] Thompson and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige stated that Valkyrie's bisexuality would be addressed in the sequel, making her Marvel Studios' first LGBTQ superhero.[3][4] Waititi revealed that the film would adapt elements from Jason Aaron's Mighty Thor comic books by having Foster become a female version of Thor.[1] Feige explained that Marvel considered the Mighty Thor run to be "one of the best comic runs recently", and that Waititi had been reading it while working on Ragnarok. When Waititi agreed to direct another Thor film, he wanted to include female Thor. Portman agreed to return to the franchise after a single meeting with the director. Feige said the film would be "folding in a lot of elements" and the storyline of Foster becoming Mighty Thor would be "a huge important part of it".[6]

Don Harwin, the Minister for the Arts for the Australian state of New South Wales, announced at the end of July that Thor: Love and Thunder would be filmed at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney back-to-back with Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), with work beginning on Love and Thunder there in March 2020 ahead of an August 2020 filming start. The production was set to receive over AU$24 million (US$18 million) of subsidies from the Australian and New South Wales governments. Marvel Studios vice president David Grant said that shooting the two films back-to-back would provide "continuous employment" for local crews, with Love and Thunder expected to generate over AU$178 million (US$134 million) for the local economy. Grant added that the studio would work with "local educational institutions in creating internship opportunities".[14] By August 2019, Waititi was reported to have completed the script for the film,[15] but he denied this later that month.[16] He also explained that he convinced Portman to return for the film by offering to do "something really different ... reprising that character but in this whole fresh new way, is really what I think would interest anyone."[17] At that time, Jeff Goldblum said there was a chance he could reprise his Ragnarok role of the Grandmaster in the sequel, and was specifically interested in working with Waititi again.[18]

While promoting his film Jojo Rabbit in October 2019, Waititi said that he had completed a draft of the screenplay,[19] but the story would change throughout filming and editing; Waititi was unsure if the film would ultimately use the Mighty Thor element of Foster suffering from breast cancer, though he said that was "a really powerful part of the books".[20] He explained that Marvel was still discussing how much time would pass between Endgame and Love and Thunder, and this would affect whether Thor is still carrying the extra weight he is depicted with in Endgame which earned him the nicknames "Fat Thor" and "Bro Thor". Waititi did note that he wanted to "keep changing it up with Thor. He's so interesting when he's changing all the time."[19] The director also confirmed that he would be reprising his role of Korg from Ragnarok and Endgame in the film.[7] Waititi felt that Love and Thunder would be "bigger and louder and more bombastic" than Ragnarok, hoping to "[double] down on how nuts Ragnarok was". He also acknowledged fans "shipping" Valkyrie with Captain Marvel, but said that a romantic relationship for the pair was unlikely because he would rather surprise fans than do something by popular demand.[21]

Christian Bale entered talks to join the cast in January 2020,[22] while Jennifer Kaytin Robinson was hired to work on the film's screenplay with Waititi a month later.[23] In March, Thompson confirmed that Bale would star as the villain in the film,[2] while Vin Diesel, who voices Groot in the MCU films, stated that he had discussed the film with Waititi and had been told that the Guardians of the Galaxy would be incorporated into the film.[24]

Pre-production is expected to commence in April 2020.[25]
