It seems that Natalie Portman was correct when she said that

Thor: Love and Thunder

would be

“shooting in Australia at the beginning of next year.”

This bodes well for productions at Marvel Studios, since it would be around the time that

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

will finish filming.

However, due to the news of Chris Hemsworth’s casting in the

Mad Max

spinoff

Furiosa

, there are now two conflicting reports about when exactly Hemsworth will begin filming

Thor: Love and Thunder

in Australia.

While The Hollywood Reporter says Hemsworth is

due to film in January

, Deadline reports that he won’t begin filming

until next March

.

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is certainly not a big discrepancy between dates, considering it’s only a two months difference. It does bring certainty to

Thor: Love and Thunder

filming early next year in Australia, as Natalie Portman said in her interview. As for which date it could be, I would lean towards March more than January.

Thor: Love and Thunder

is currently set to release in theaters on February 11, 2022, those this date is questionable and subject to delays due to COVID-19-caused shifts.
