Hot on the heels of yesterday's big Matt Damon news, Chris Hemsworth has revealed that he'll actually start filming Thor: Love and Thunder later this week, meaning we could be getting an official announcement or maybe some early first look behind-the-scenes photos before Friday.

In addition to Hemsworth as the God of Thunder, the cast will also feature Academy Award-winner Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Academy Award-winner Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher, Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Jaimie Alexander as Sif, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, 8x Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon, Vin Diesel as Groot, Taika Waititi as Korg, and Academy Award-winner Matt Damon in an undisclosed role.

The Academy Award-winning Waititi will return to the director's chair, utilizing a screenplay he co-wrote with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Someone Great; Sweet/Vicious). Plot details are currently under wraps. 

Thor: Love and Thunder hammers its way into theaters May 6, 2022.

Hope this one relies more of the Thor mythos. While Ragnarok was great, they kind of wasted the Ragnarok event, doesnt play that much in the plot until the very end and a good bulk of the movie was more like planet hulk. Like really couldnt they have done a movie about Thor taking on Surtur

Why do I feel like there's other characters in the story that they haven't cast yet?

@RingSlinger700

The cast is probably finalized at this point. Might not hear about more supporting roles until filming gets underway.

@regularmovieguy - Most likely the case, not that I'm unhappy at all with the cast they have already. Just wondering if Gorr has henchmen or if say a certain Korbinite will show up (though he could just as easily show up in Guardians Vol. 3 looking for revenge against Gamora and Nebula for killing members of his species in Endgame).

@RingSlinger700 - Interesting. I never thought to wonder where Gamora and Nebula were in that scene. Surely Beta Ray Bill is going to show up sooner or later, he's too popular a character not to. Personally, I want Michael Jai White to play him.

@RingSlinger700 - Maybe because that is almost the norm. Many of the characters they don't officially announce until well after production has started.

@RingSlinger700 - Gorr doesn't need henchmen.

RingSlinger700 - 1/20/2021, 8:35 AM
@RegularPoochie - I figured he wouldn't, but the MCU tends to switch things up here and there and thought they might add a different character of sorts to be a henchman. We'll see.

RingSlinger700 - 1/20/2021, 8:39 AM
@LSHF - That's true in some cases, but we'll see who else they cast.

@ChimiFnChangas - Yeah I think the Russos said that they were killing Korbinites in that scene. If Thor officially joins the Guardians after Love and Thunder then it would be cool to see him and Bill meet in Vol.3, though that film shouldn't be too stuffed with characters if the Adam Warlock/High Evolutionary/Lylla rumors are confirmed.

@RingSlinger700 - Looking forward to the announcements.

@RingSlinger700 - yeah I know what you. If they do that it would be a hard disappoint for me

Ragnarok is in my top 5 MCU films and I am excited to see what Taika and company bring to the table with Love and Thunder.

I wonder how soon before we start seeing costumes leaked. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jane Foster's Thor costume looks

With cameras set to start rolling, hopefully we get an idea of the aesthetic soon (especially Bale).

Hemsworth is freak level shredded here. They might be filming his shirtless scenes the first thing in the schedule.

Cue horny nerds everywhere daydreaming of a world where they can get her.
