Thor: Love and Thunder
will serve as Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo outing as the God of Thunder, and his next adventure will be an intriguing one.
Thor: Ragnarok
director Taika Waititi
will return to helm
the MCU project, being joined by returning faces from the franchise such as Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson.
As expected, plot details of
Thor: Love and Thunder
are still under wraps, but Marvel Studios’ panel from San Diego Comic-Con last year
revealed that Portman
will wield Mjolnir to become the Mighty Thor. This reveal surprised fans since Portman’s character, Jane Foster, has long been absent from the MCU.

On top of that, it raised some questions about the future fate of Hemsworth as Thor, but the actor
previously shared
that he’s not going
“into retirement period”
anytime soon. Still, anticipation is high for Waititi’s next
Thor
installment, especially
after receiving praise
from Hemsworth about the film’s script.
With filming
set to start early next year
, an important piece of production tidbit has been revealed.
RUMOR
In a tweet,
The DisInsider’s
Skyler Shuler revealed that the working title for
Thor: Love and Thunder
is
“The Big Salad.”

“The Big Salad”
is likely a reference to the 88th episode of Seinfeld which bears the same title. This marks the fourth time that a Seinfeld reference will be used as a working title for an MCU film.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Not much is known if which version of Thor will be featured in
Love and Thunder
, but this working title might suggest that the film will stick with
“Bro Thor” from
Avengers: Endgame
. Given the popularity of the character from
Endgame
, it would make sense for Waititi to retain that version of the character.
In MCU canon, Thor was last seen heading off to space with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and featuring the similar version from the last time fans saw the character could mean that the events of
Love and Thunder
will likely occur months or even weeks after
Endgame
. If that proves true, it will be interesting to find out the reason behind Thor’s sudden return to Earth.

On the flip side, Waititi
previously shared
that
“they haven’t figured out”
if Bro Thor will be featured in the upcoming installment, but he felt that version
was already
“done.”
Still, there’s a chance that Bro Thor could still be featured in the early parts of
Love and Thunder
, before eventually transforming into his usual muscular self.
Regardless, the presence of a working title for
Love and Thunder
bodes well for the looming production of the film, and there’s also a chance of seeing more casting news in the months leading up to filming.
