Thor: Love and Thunder was among the Marvel Studios movies delayed by COVID-19, and we'll now be waiting until 2022 to see what happens when Jane Foster wields Mjolnir for the first time.

Very little is known about Taika Waititi's plans for the God of Thunder's fourth solo adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Christian Bale is reportedly playing the villain, and it has been confirmed that Valkyrie's hunt for her "Queen" after being appointed King of Asgard will factor into the plot.

In an interview with BBC News, the writer and director shared an update on where thing stand and confirmed that while he's doing another pass, it's reached the point of being pretty much finished.

"I think it's going to be really good," Waititi started. "We've finished, we've been writing the script off and on for over a year and I'm just, actually this week, doing another pass on it. It is so insane and it's also very romantic. I'm into romances now. I just want to make a romance. I just want to make something that I've never done or never cared for. I would like to attack something like that."

Of course, it's always hard to tell whether the filmmaker is joking around, but the prospect of a romantic comedy set in the MCU is definitely something it's easy to get excited about. Waititi shook the Thor franchise up in a massive way with Thor: Ragnarok, and him doing the same again is likely a given.

Are you guys psyched for Thor: Love and Thunder?

@RolandD - Some people complain about the humor in Ragnarok and while there was a lot of it, there were some extremely serious parts of it and Hela was an awesome villain. Not Zack Snyder here, but I do hope Thor gets back in fighting shape again. He has definitely redeemed himself in my eyes and no longer should be in drunken despair. I would love to see Hela come back as well. Cate Blanchett killed it and there’s something about her in that black wig and eye makeup. Certainly don’t expect her in this movie, though.
