[Thor: Love and Thunder" is currently in production! Yes, as expected, the Norse god of thunder, Thor, will return to the screen for his fourth solo film This time, however, the mantle will not be taken up by Chris Hemsworth, but by a familiar face from the franchise

The upcoming film is part of Marvel's Phase 4, following the events of Thor: Ragnarok So here is everything we know about "Thor: Love and Thunder"

Well, fans, this is the hardest pill to swallow right now Thor: Love and Thunder has been pushed back from its original November 5, 2021 release (announced at SDCC in 2019) to February 11, 2022

Apparently, someone is getting a radical new look from his post-leadership wardrobe Thor, as seen in this set, is dressed in less regal, but more fun attire And it is Star-Lord himself

As always, Chris Hemsworth, the original Thor, returns to lead the cast Likewise, Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson return as Jane Foster and Valkyrie, respectively

Tessa Thompson revealed to ET that not only will Christian Bale be in the film, but he will also play the villain from Thor: Thor: Love and Thunder, Gor the Butcher God Vin Diesel has also stated that Guardians of the Galaxy will also appear

As mentioned above, Chris Pratt will play Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord And director Taika Waititi will not only be back behind the camera, but will also voice the character Korg, who will populate his scenes

Oh, and we need Jeff Goldblum back as the Grand Master He has already begun to hint at that possibility as well

Yes, rumors of Natalie Portman's departure from the Marvel movies have been exaggerated; MCU head Kevin Feige revealed that the chance to work with esteemed director Taika Waititi was crucial in getting Natalie Portman back for the film

Yes, as revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Jane Foster will be the new Thor, at least for this film This has happened twice in the comics, in 1978 and 2014, when she was deemed fit to carry Mjolnir after Thor was no longer able to carry the mighty hammer

We also know that Varikly, who inherited the title of King of Asgard in The Avengers: Endgame, is looking for a queen Yes, that's right, Valkyrie, played by Tessa Thompson, is canonically queer, just like her comic book character

Who will that queen be? There is a great deal of hope among fans online that Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, will take that title, but there is no insight to share here
