Thor: Love and Thunder is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Thor, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is intended to be the direct sequel to Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and the 29th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Taika Waititi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, alongside Tessa Thompson, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Chris Pratt, Jaimie Alexander, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, and Karen Gillan.

Hemsworth and Waititi had discussed returning for a sequel to Ragnarok by January 2018. It was officially announced and titled 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 after suffering from cancer. Robinson joined the film in February 2020. Filming began in January 2021 in Sydney, Australia.

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 6, 2022, as part of Phase Four of the MCU.

Cast

• Chris Hemsworth as Thor:
  An Avenger and the former king of Asgard, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name.
• Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie:
  The king of New Asgard, based on the mythological being Brynhildr. Thompson and producer Kevin Feige said the character's bisexuality would be addressed with this appearance, retroactively making her the first LGBTQ superhero in the MCU.
• Natalie Portman as Jane Foster / Mighty Thor:
  An astrophysicist and Thor's ex-girlfriend who is undergoing cancer treatment while becoming the superhero the Mighty Thor and gaining similar powers to Thor. Portman, who did not appear in the franchise's previous film Thor: Ragnarok (2017), agreed to return after a meeting with director Taika Waititi.
• Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher
• Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star-Lord: The half-human, half-Celestial leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy who was abducted from Earth as a child and raised by a group of alien thieves and smugglers called the Ravagers.
• Jaimie Alexander as Sif: An Asgardian warrior, Thor's childhood friend, and Foster's romantic rival, based on the deity of the same name.
• Pom Klementieff as Mantis: A member of the Guardians with empathic powers.
• Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer: A member of the Guardians and highly skilled warrior whose family was slaughtered by Thanos.
• Karen Gillan as Nebula: A member of the Guardians and the Avengers who is an orphan from an alien world, and was trained by Thanos to be his personal assassin.

Additionally, Waititi reprises his role as Korg from previous MCU films, while Matt Damon has been cast in an undisclosed role; he previously portrayed an actor playing Loki in Thor: Ragnarok.

Music

The film will feature the song "Rainbow in the Dark" by Dio, according to Wendy Dio, widow of band member Ronnie James Dio.
