As the anticipation of 'Thor: Love and Thunder' builds, writer and director Taika Waititi speaks about when the shooting for the film would start. Saying that they'd probably move down to Sydney around April, in an interview at the BAFTA Tea Party, Waititi told Variety that the film production is likely to begin in Australia in August. 

With Australia suffering from horrific wildfires, Waititi was asked if and how it would affect the production of the upcoming film. He said he doesn't know how the fires would affect the filming and added, "It's insane what's happening down there. It seems to keep getting worse, and a lot of the smoke is now moving across to New Zealand and melting our glaciers." Waititi added that he even has friends out there who are putting out fires.

From the looks of it, 'Thor: Love and Thunder' is a movie that fans can't wait for, especially since Waititi said it would be bigger than 'Thor: Ragnarok'. Following her absence from the last film, Natalie Portman will be back as Jane Foster, possessing Thor's powers herself. Tessa Thompson will also be back as Valkyrie, leaving the main leading role to be played by Chris Hemsworth.

“The next Thor film I’m doing, basically, we’re sort of launching ourselves again on this adventure film, really. That was the thing really that I loved about doing Ragnarok, it felt like we were just putting Thor on a really cool adventure. There’s always like new things to see and do, and this one, I think we’re gonna double down a lot on that and have it bigger, bolder and brighter. There’s just gonna be some really crazy stuff in the film," he told Entertainment Weekly.

The release date for 'Thor: Love and Thunder' is said to be November 5, 2021.
