After years in the making, Thor: Love and Thunder is hitting the theaters this summer, and we finally know what it will have in store. Marvel recently dropped the trailer for this highly-anticipated blockbuster and they’re promising one wild ride.

The epic trailer plays out to be beat of Guns N’ Roses’ megahit “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, and it opens up with a voiceover by Thor (Chris Hemsworth), saying: “These hands were once used for battle, now they’re but humble tools for peace. I need to figure out exactly who I am”.

Despite his pacifist tendencies, Thor must face another major threat before his “superheroing days are over”. The God Butcher (Christian Bale) is trying to eliminate all gods, and Thor joins forces with some of his past allies in an attempt to stop him.

Natalie Portman appears in the trailer as Jane Foster aka The Mighty Thor, wielding Mjolnir for the first time. Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, and the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy, including Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Karen Gillan, are also set to make a comeback.

Thor: Love and Thunder serves as a follow-up to Thor: Ragnarok, both directed by Taika Waititi, and it will be released on July 8.

Taika Waititi is set to direct and co-write a new Star Wars film with 1917 scribe Krysty Wilson-Cairns.

On Monday, Disney made the announcement and confirmed that a new untitled Star Wars TV series from Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland is still in the works at Disney Plus.

Back in January, it was rumored that Waiiti was developing a Star Wars movie after he directed the season finale of the Disney+Star Wars series The Mandalorian.

When Variety asked Waititi if he was developing a Star Wars movie in February he said, “Are there discussions about the ‘Star Wars’ film? Like, yeah, I discussed with my friends in 1996 how cool ‘Star Wars’ was. I think people see me hanging out with people, especially with ‘Star Wars,’ and think I’m having some big discussions about it. I would f—ing love to.…If it was right. I would want to do any kind of movie if it made sense, and if it felt not like career suicide.”

But, it’s still unclear if this film will be one of Disney’s three untitled Star Wars films that are supposed to be released December 2022, 2024, and 2026, or if this is a separate project.

This movie will be the first official Star Wars feature film to be confirmed after Games of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss walked away from their deal to make a series of Star Wars movies last October.

After firing James Gun as a director and writer of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Disney is having some issues filling the vacancy. There were numerous high-profile names linked to the project in the recent, but studio’s talks with potential candidates are still to get traction. Some of them, like Taika Waititi, aren’t even interested in taking the gig.

Waititi emerged as one of the favorites for directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after Gun’s dismissal after doing a great job as director of Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok. The 43-year-old, however, said that he wouldn’t be taking this job during a recent appearance at Television Critics Association press tour.

“Nope. Not doing that movie,” said Waititi when asked about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3. “I’m hanging out with [Marvel] still. Talking about new stuff, but I don’t know what that might be yet. I want to do another movie.”

Speaking about reasons for this decision, Waititi said that he feels like that’s still James Gunn’s movie.

“I didn’t really. For me, that’s James’ film,” he added. “Going into something like that, which has got his stamp all over it, it would feel like going into someone’s house and saying ‘Hey, I’m your new dad.”

After James Gun was fired, Disney still hoped to have Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 on the track with the beginning of production date set for early 2019 and release being targeted for 2020. When it turned out that it wasn’t so easy to replace Gun, the studio decided to stop production and delay its start for February 2021.

The 2014 mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows is being adapted into a TV series.

FX have ordered ten episodes for the new comedy show, which will be co-created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who starred, wrote and directed the film. The movie has become something of a cult classic and is a mockumentary-style feature which follows the lives of vampires who have been roommates for hundreds of years.

In the same vein, the series will follow three vampires living in New York and will star Matt Beryy, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou and Harvey Gullien.

FX co-president Nick Grad said:

“Their feature version was a hilarious, fresh take on the mundanity of everyday life that even immortals must face. We are thankful to them, Paul Simms and Scott Rudin, and this amazing cast for taking us deeper into the shadows with this show.”

In addition to the show, Clement and Waititi are also working on a sequel to the film. The working title is We’re Wolves and will be based on a group of werewolves rather than vampires. On top of the show and the movie, the duo are also working on a new spinoff show called Wellington Paranormal, which will follow Karen and Mike, the police officers who appeared in the film.
