Thor Love and Thunder: Taika Waititi shares EXCITING updates on Avengers Endgame sequel

A couple of years back Taika Waititi stunned Marvel fans by breathing new life into Chris Hemsworth’s Thor franchise. The Asgardian prince went from pretty dark and serious to light-hearted and comical. Now the Oscar-winning director is helming a fourth Thor movie which is set for release in 2021.

Thor: Love and Thunder sees Natalie Portman return as the Avenger’s love interest Jane Foster.

The scientist was last seen in Thor: The Dark World, having not appeared in Thor Ragnarok as she and the Asgardian had broken up.

Nevertheless, she did feature in a time travel scene during Avengers Endgame and is now set to star in Thor’s fourth solo outing.

However, Portman is not just same old Jane, but the Mighty Thor from the comics.

Waititi was then asked if Valkyrie’s queer sexuality would be more explicitly addressed in Thor: Love and Thunder.

The director replied: “I think so. The IP is not mine.

“But with the actors, I feel whatever makes them comfortable — whether they feel like there’s a natural choice, or a natural way for that character to go — then I’m pretty supportive.

“If Tessa wanted to do that, I’m in.”
