Thor: Love And Thunder is being directed by New Zealand director Taika Waititi, who also shot the 2017 film Thor: Ragnarok.

The movie, which is the fourth Thor movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has brought a star-studded cast to Australia, including Matt Damon and Natalie Portman.

Damon’s role in the film still remains a mystery, while Portman will reprise her role as Dr Jane Foster after debuting in the 2011 original.

Production is expected to pump $178 million into the local economy, create 2500 jobs and use the services of 1650 Australian businesses.

Hemsworth, 37, and his wife Elsa Pataky, 44, were spotted flying into Sydney from their Byron Bay home via private jet on Sunday.
