Thor: Love andThunder, under the directionof talentedOscar-winner TaikaWaititi, deals largely with Thor’s quest to find inner peace. Now “retired” fromactive superhero duty, Thor’s peace is broken by the reappearance of galactic killer Gorr, whose task is to butcher deities. Thor seeks help from Queen Valkyrie (Thompson), Korg (Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Portman), who surprisingly shows an ability to wield his hammer like a female version of Thor. The two embark on a new adventure and fight to prevent Gorr from slaying all the gods. Stylistically and aesthetically, Waititi envisaged this film as an homage to 1980s action films, but also as a more personal love story. “When I joined theMarvel universe, I wanted to take a slightly different approach, with even more colourfulness and emotion. I frankly also bring evenmore demanding acting, because I consider myself one of the laziest living actors. However, althoughmy role as Korg is a voice role and the character is animated, acting in the suit I was under was a real challenge, so I really evaluatedmyself and really acted, and it wasn’t just an accent and banter.” Waititi also co-authored the script togetherwithJenniferKaytin Robinson, who he said was an outstanding scriptwriter, but that he also wanted the female part of the story – alluding to Portman’s character (Jane Foster) – to be told better. We could also interpret this as hiswish to elevate the feminist tone that’s been prominent in more recent Marvel films to the next level, following the not-so-well-received Captain Marvel and Eternals. Likemost films shot during the pandemic, Thor: Love and Thunder endured a hellish production. Instead of the original shoot locations in the U.S. and UK, it was shot in Australia during the period from January to June 2021, after which the premiere was pushed back four times.Marvel andDisney see Love and Thunder as their big summer hit that will surely be the latest in the series - the 11th, to be precise – to generate earnings exceeding a billion dollars. FollowingThor’s release, we can also expect the release of the Black Panther sequel Wakanda Forever by the end of this year, but also as many as four new MCU films so far announced for 2023: AntMan and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, TheMarvels and the Fantastic Four reboot. Other Marvel and Disney projects currently in the pre-production phase include Blade, a Captain Marvel sequel and a sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
