Thor: Love and Thunder has begun filming in Australia. As we learned with the set photos of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Australia isn't great at privacy, so we get some information from the set itself. Christian Bale has arrived on set so it's a good confirmation that he is in this movie. We still don't know who he is playing. The first rumor was that he will play Beta Ray Bill, which would have been awesome as that would mean that we would have three Thors in one movie. But more recently, Tessa Thompson revealed that he will be playing the villain of the movie. There are many rumors about which character he will be playing. One of the rumors is that he will be playing Dario Agger, which on top of being a bad guy, he is the CEO of organization called Roxxon. An organization that was spotted on the set of the Loki TV show. Which might also explain how Loki will arrive in this movie as it is confirmed that he will be in Thor: Love and Thunder. It's a potential for a lot of brining things together.
Another recent development is that Groot and Star Lord will appear in the movie. It makes sense as Thor was last seen in Avengers: Endgame leaving Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy, although why only two of the members are in this movie I do not know. I guess that the Asgardians of the Galaxy will disassemble. Chris Pratt and Vin Diesel were spotted on the set of filming. Plus Vin Diesel accidently dropped a spoiler in an interview saying he will be playing Alpha Groot. Which I and the rest of the internet have no idea what it means. I think though he will no longer be teenage Groot, but grown-up Groot. Asgardians of the Galaxy will partly be together again for a bit at least.
We don't know much about the plot of the movie other than it will be partly based on the Jason Aaron's run in the comics with The Mighty Thor. Following The Mighty Thor and Odinson as one gains powers and one losses theirs. I am not sure if they will do the cancer plotline, but I am pretty sure that they won't do the unworthy plotline. There is a good chance that there will be two Thor's in the MCU at the end of the movie. Natalie Portman doesn't have a stable relationship with Marvel, but I think Chris Hemsworth wants to stay for the long run and I think Marvel will let him. The audience needs a sense of continuity.
Still, generally speaking it sounds like it will be a fun and crazy movie just like Thor: Ragnarok.
Thor: Love and Thunder is set to come out February 11, 2022 unless it will be moved again because of the pandemic.
