Thor: Love and Thunder - Taika Waititi Has Almost Finished His 'Insane, Romantic' Script

Taika Waititi is almost finished with his Thor: Love and Thunder script. Waititi recently sat down with BBC News for a virtual interview where he and BBC's Alex Stanger spoke on a number of topics, including the next Thor movie. The director couldn't reveal much, but he did tell Stanger that he's almost finished with the script, and he gave insight into the direction the story will take. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=thor-love-and-thunder-6-characters-christian-bale-could-play&captions=true"] "I think it's going really good," he said when asked about Love and Thunder's writing process. "We've been writing the script off and on for over a year and...actually, this week, doing another pass on it." Waititi continued and said the script is, "so insane" and "also very romantic." He said he's very into romances now and just wants to make a romance movie. Considering it's an MCU movie, Love and Thunder will likely feature plenty of action alongside the romance Waititi is referring to. As for why the injection of romance into the script, he said he's never made a romance and wants to tackle that. "I want to make something that I've never done or never cared for," Waititi said, referring to a romance narrative. "I would like to attack something like that."

It was announced a couple of months ago that Waititi is making a Star Wars movie and all he could say about it during the BBC interview was "we're writing." Thor: Love and Thunder was originally slated for 2021 but has since been bumped back a number of times. It now has a release date of Feb. 11, 2022.
