We knew production was set to commence on Thor: Love and Thunder at some point before the end of January, and it looks like cameras are now officially rolling on the highly anticipated Marvel Studios sequel.

We got a glimpse of some sets being constructed over the weekend, and Chris Hemsworth has now confirmed that filming is underway via Instagram. The Avengers: Endgame star shared some photos of himself alongside director Taika Waititi and indigenous Australian Gamay dancers of the Gadigal and Bidjigal nation.

Hemsworth also took the opportunity to point out the grim significance of today's date (January 26).

“Indigenous Australians may be just as proud of this country, but many see January 26th as a date signifying the beginning of dispossession, disease epidemics, frontier violence, destruction of culture, exploitation, abuse, separation of families and subjection to policies of extreme social control. Let’s begin the healing and stand together in unity and support with our First Nations people with solidarity and compassion. Let’s find a date where all Australians can celebrate this beautiful country together.”

In addition to Hemsworth, Thor: Love and Thunder will see Natalie Portman return as new God of Thunder Jane Foster, while Tessa Thompson will also reprise her role as Valkyrie. It was recently revealed that Christian Bale will portray the villainous Gorr the God Butcher, and it's also been confirmed that director Taika Waititi will once again provide the voice of Korg.

Several of the Guardians of the Galaxy also look set to appear, and there are rumors that Beta Ray Bill might feature in some capacity.

Batman where?

Origame - 1/26/2021, 6:55 AM

@RageDriver2401 - oh he's there. This is one of his classic transformations, like when he played Cheney. Believe it or not he's one of the villagers. Can you guess which one?

Nice to see them all doing their bit to re-infect Australia.

Don't see why they shouldn't suffer with the rest of us.

@GwenLantern - when money is involved the virus doesn’t affect you so they have nothing to worry about...

Oskir - 1/26/2021, 6:44 AM

@GwenLantern - People working on those movies do test almsot everyday

GwenLantern - 1/26/2021, 6:44 AM

@TheFireForce - Oh yeah, I think I read about that in Scientific American.

GwenLantern - 1/26/2021, 6:50 AM

@Oskir - Even those indigenous visitors?

I love the fact that Hemsworth (god protect those wonderful abs) even mentions that the 26th is a day when they celebrate being free of disease. Hey here's a celebratory gift from the USA! Good ol' Covid!
Lulzes.

Can't wait for this movie, though. Taika back with the MCU? Put me down for a dozen, please.

I swear, I don’t care how silly, or how much ya’ll would hate to see it, or if it costs the film to be certified fresh or rotten on RT...

I simply just want a training montage of Peter and Thor Rocky III style.

nhoj3 - 1/26/2021, 7:02 AM

@Se4M4NSt4ine - I don't necessarily want to see that in "Love and Thunder", but it didn't stop me from watching the hell out of that montage!

Thanks for posting.... that made my day! :-)

@Waddles - It would bring back men in crop tops too.
Apparently people want that trend back.

I hope Taika doesn't exaggerated with the humor, especially with Gorr involved

RokoVII - 1/26/2021, 6:22 AM

@Fanmar16 - yeah true. Thor Raganrok was great but there were some serious moments that were undercut with humor

MosquitoFarmer - 1/26/2021, 7:52 AM

@Fanmar16 - I always get worried when it comes to sequels with humorous material, especially when it's the same director. They can get a little too cocksure about stuff that worked and then really overdo it in the sequel.
