Filming on Marvel’s upcoming film Thor: Love and Thunder has completed, as confirmed by the God of Thunder himself. Chris Hemsworth shared the update on his social media account, along with an image of himself posing with director Taika Waititi, who is seen dressed up as rock monster Korg.
“That’s a wrap on Thor: Love and Thunder,” reads the caption, which has fans excited because this means the project is closer to completion and should be able to meet its release date of May 2022. With shooting having wrapped, the fourth installment in the Thor franchise has joined the list of multiple projects currently in post-production at Marvel Studios.

Hemsworth confirmed that the upcoming Thor film will be “off the wall funny and might also pull a heartstring or two,” something fans have come to expect from the franchise. While the first film adapted the route of a Shakespearean drama, The Dark World lost the attention of many fans due to its lack of humor. This was sorted out in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, which had the right amount of humor intertwined with action and drama, making it the most popular film in the Thor franchise.
The same image was also shared by Waititi on his Instagram account, and fans are loving his hilarious caption. He refers to himself and Hemsworth as two people who are “too cool to care about anything except making movies that bring people absolute joy.” That is one thing that fans will definitely agree with, as Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok was truly a joy to watch. And if Hemsworth's words are to be believed, Thor: Love and Thunder will be even funnier.
The black and white image might have confirmed that Thor: Love and Thunder has wrapped filming, but one thing that had fans even more excited was Hemsworth’s ripped physique. Thousands of comments on the image are just about his arms, so one thing’s for sure, Fat Thor from Avengers: Endgame is definitely in the past. Before production on Thor: Love and Thunder began, Hemsworth had shared input on his fitness regime to prepare for the film, and it has obviously done wonders. In typical Hemsworth fashion, the actor joked about it being “national don’t flex day” and sharing a “relaxed photo.” But, fans aren’t relaxing over how fit Hemsworth is looking, including fellow Marvel star Simu Liu, who joked about how he himself needs to “get in shape” after seeing the picture.
Hemsworth and Waititi star in Thor: Love and Thunder along with other actors returning to reprise their respective roles, including Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. Christian Bale has joined the cast and will be seen playing the main villain, Gorr the God Butcher. Russell Crowe will also be making a cameo and is confirmed to be playing the role of Zeus.
Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to release in theaters on May 6, 2022.
