In case you missed it, there have been some big updates on theThor: Love and Thunderfront. Over the last few days,Thor 4directorTaika Waititiand starNatalie Portmanhave shared some insights on where things stand with the script and when filming is expected to start. In a year starved of both Marvel movies and teases from the sets of upcoming Phase Four titles, theseThor 4updates are much-needed.
The first update comes courtesy of Portman, who casually revealedThor 4isset to start filmingat the beginning of 2021. Portman shared the update while chatting withSerena Williamsduringan Instagram Live chatfor Williams' Serena clothing brand over the weekend. At one point in the brief conversation, Portman remarked, “We’re shooting in Australia at the beginning of next year.”
The second update comes from Waititi, who opened up about where he was on the writing front. Speaking withBBC News, Waititi said, “I think it’s going really good. We’ve been writing the script off and on for over a year and… actually, this week, doing another pass on it,” and went on to say the script forThor 4is “so insane” and “also very romantic,” expanding on the romance note by explaining: “I want to make something that I’ve never done or never cared for. I would like to attack something like that.”

At the time, we learned Portman would be returning to the MCU as Jane Foster and, even better, would likely betaking on the Thor mantle.
