According to Variety, the plot details on the film have been kept under the wraps. Waititi had revealed in July that the script of Love and Thunder is “insane and romantic”. The film was initially scheduled to start shooting in August in Australia, but the production got delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak, forcing the makers to push the release date from November 2021 to February 2022.
