It is not known what role Crowe plays in “Thor: Love and Thunder”. But it is said that it should just be a nice cameo that was intended as a surprise for the fans. The surprise didn’t come to that, because the 56-year-old was spotted at a rugby game together with members of the “Thor 4” cast, including Jeff Goldblum (via AND Canada). And so the official confirmation follows immediately.
The shooting of the next “Thor” solo film is currently taking place in Sidney. Taika Waititi is back as a director after “Thor: Decision Day”. There is currently no further information on the plot itself. Certainly – or not – is currently only the expected German theatrical release on 5. May 2022.
In the cinema, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will not continue until July, when “Black Widow” starts. This shows you which films are still waiting for you Video:
