Chris Pratt joins Chris Hemsworth in Marvel crossover Thor: Love and Thunder

Actor will reprise his role as Star-Lord

Chris Pratt will star alongside Chris Hemsworth in the forthcoming Marvel crossover movie, Thor: Love and Thunder.

According to Variety, Pratt will reprise his Star-Lord role in the MCU’s fourth Thor film, joining Hemsworth’s Thor, Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster and Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie. Christian Bale is also reported to be in talks for a mysterious role in the film.

Thor: Love and Thunder, the plot details of which have been kept largely under wraps, is set to begin production in Australia in January, with Taika Waititi returning as director after his work on smash hit Thor: Ragnarok.

The new film is currently set for release in February 2022.

Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana and Robert Downey Jr recently stepped in to defend their Avengers co-star Pratt, after the internet voted him “the worst Hollywood Chris”.

The age-old social media debate as to who of the four most famous Chris’s – Pratt, Hemsworth, Evans and Pine – is the least likeable resurfaced thanks to a viral tweet posted last month.
