On the heels of his big Adapted Screenplay win for
JoJo Rabbit at last night's Academy Awards, director Taika Waititi will soon begin working on his follow-up to
Thor: Ragnarok, and it looks like he's enlisted some help in fine tuning
Love and Thunder's script.
Variety reports that Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has come aboard the project as a writer to lend Waititi a hand in shaping the story. Robinson started out as the creator/writer of short-lived MTV show
Sweet/Vicious before going on to write and direct Netflix romantic dramedy
Someone Great starring Gina Rodriguez.
The trade's report also confirms that cameras are scheduled to start rolling on the Marvel Studios movie later this year.
Thor: Love and Thunder will see Chris Hemsworth return as the God of Thunder, and he'll be joined by
The Dark World's Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, who will inherit the mantle of Thor from her ex. Christian Bale is also in talks for an undisclosed role, with rumors pointing to him playing an alien villain of some description.
