THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER First Concept Art Revealed During Taika Waititi's RAGNAROK Instagram Live Commentary

Academy Award-winning writer/director Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) is currently in the midst of hosting an Instagram Live commentary for his 2017 Marvel blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok and to kick the evening off, he shared a few exclusive pieces of concept art from his next hotly awaited Marvel project, Thor: Love and Thunder.

None of the images are particularly revealing, at least as far as plot details are concerned, but they do offer an updated look at the expansion of New Asgard under the rule of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and also confirm the return of Miek (Stephen Murdoch), who has been revealed to actually be female.

Waititi's Instagram Live session is currently in session, so be sure to head on over to his page now to tune into his hilarious commentary and catch up with special guests, including Tessa Thompson, Mark Ruffalo... and maybe, Chris Hemsworth?!

In Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth (Avengers: Endgame) will reprise his iconic role as the titular God of Thunder with a supporting cast that will also return Tessa Thompson (Avengers: Endgame) as Valkyrie, Natalie Portman (Thor: The Dark World) as Jane Foster/Mighty Thor, Taika Waititi (Avengers: Endgame) as Korg and Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) as the film's villain.

While production was originally slated to begin in August, it seems likely that it will ultimately be delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which also recently pushed back the film's release date from November 2021 to February 18, 2022.

That second piece looks like something out of Evangelion. Perhaps Jane’s Thor outfit? Perhaps Angela?



Man, this movie is going to be crazy amazing. Ragnarok is in my MCU top 5.

@MovieMonster - Angela showing up on film before a Spawn reboot would be really funny

That thing in the second piece is Beta Ray Bill.

That last one looks like concept art from a Monsters Inc. movie.

Why did I have to start finding it attractive before I realized it was a female Miek

Miek looks so much cooler in the cartoon (and comic), they ruined the character

@IcemanX - Comic Miek is pretty generic, honestly. Could be any insectoid from a dozen different series. I dig the power suit with knife-hands.

Visually, I mean. Movie Miek is a lot of fun visually, but he doesn't have a whole lot of personality beyond the visual gags.

I really hope we're going back to the fantasy part of Thor mythos again. I also hope we get Gorr. So much potential, however I don't know if Disney has the balls to tackle the whole religion and faith subjects which revolve around Gorr.

Haha Miek is getting an upgrade! More Miek is always a good thing :-)

I saw something that said we might get space sharks. If that's true, it's already an instant classic. The hype rises.

Viking ships ... yes, great. Although if ships could fly, it would be even better.

Perhaps the New Asgard expansion will turn into a great war when someone stops the advance of the Asgardians. Perhaps the villain played by Bale.

@Repian - Dario Agger trying to usurp and mine New Asgard.

@Repian - We did already get flying Viking ships; albeit, very breifly in Ragnarok.

Loving the Viking ships. Is that supposed to be Miek in the third pic too?

For all the ways that Taika [frick]ed up Planet Hulk - Miek being female is not something I mind... so long as when she finally talks, its to rant about the sheer idiocy that has been going on around her, and to bring about the proper prophecy of the Worldbreaker (bonus points if she kills "Korg" in the most painful way possible).
