Chris Hemsworth Praises The Script For THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Saying It's One of the Best He's Read
Chris Hemsworth recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his upcoming Netflix movie Extraction. While on the show he was asked about director Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder. As you might expect he offered nothing but praise for the script of the film, saying:
"It's one of the best scripts I've read in years. It's Taika at his most extreme, and at his best. If the version I read is the one we get running with, it's going to be pretty insane.”
Waititi previously teased the insanity of the film when he revealed that there would be Space Sharks, and he also explained that this movie would make Ragnarok look safe:
“It makes Ragnarok feel like a really run-of-the-mill, really safe film. This new movie feels like we asked a bunch of 10-year-olds what they wanted to see and then just said yes to every single thing.”
It certainly sounds like Waititi is going to give Marvel fans something badass and special with this next movie and I’m excited to see how far he is actually going to take the insanity.
Hemsworth also talks about the props he’s taken over the years since he’s been playing Thor, and confirms that he has both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker in his house.
Thor: Love and Thunder is being written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Someone Great). Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson will return as Thor and Valkyrie, and Natalie Portman is also set to reprise her role as Jane Foster and will wield the mighty Mjolnir. Christian Bale will portray the main villain in the film.
The female Thor storyline is based on Jason Aaron’s run on The Mighty Thor, the story of which follows a cancer-stricken Jane Foster who takes up the mantle and powers of Thor. We don’t know for sure yet if the cancer element will be a part of the film’s story.
