Thor: Love and Thunder Director Taika Waititi Says Film Might Not be Finished Until June

In a chat with Variety during the Independent Spirit Awards last weekend, Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Love and Thunder, was asked about the status of the film in hopes of spilling some details but of course, knowing Waititi, his response on when the movie will be done is quirky, "It comes out in July, so probably like... end of June? Or like a day before the premiere? That's how we do it!"

Detail pertaining to the plot of Thor: Love and Thunder remains in the shadows to this day and mostly, the idea of Jane, played by Natalie Portman, being the Mighty Thor is the only one that is out in the open as confirmed by Waititi himself. Familiar faces would also be back such as the God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and the new leader of Asgard, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie.

Other than them, some members of The Guardians of the Galaxy are also expected to return given that Thor has been bonding with them since Infinity War and Endgame. Christian Bale would also be making his jump into the MCU as the villain of the film, Gorr the God Butcher, and with all these in line, the plot remains under wraps.

While the filming of Thor: Love and Thunder is already done last year, the movie is still under its post-production phase where all the SFX and VFX are added. The statement of Waititi may be taken as a grain of salt but surely, some things are half meant. It hints that even when the clock is ticking on the film, they are not done yet with the post-production.

Surely, they already have some things finished and a trailer is expected to drop possibly with the release of Moon Knight and along with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. There is nothing to worry about, Waititi will surely deliver.

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled for release on May 6, 2021 in theaters.
