Chris is currently taking some time off and focusing on family life after his latest Thor film has been postphoned.  

A major Marvel scheduling clash at Sydney’s Fox Studios could push the already-delayed Thor: Love and Thunder film release date even further back, according to Courier Mail.

In March, filming of Shing-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (also a Marvel movie), was forced to a halt when COVID-19 lockdown rules took hold.

As a result, the Chris-led superhero movie will no longer be able to start filming in September as scheduled.

According to the Courier Mail, Marvel distributors Disney are looking to relocate the set interstate, or overseas in a bid to meet it’s late 2022 deadline.

‘The thing with Marvel films is they have a sequence of films set up for at least the next five years, and all of the storylines are connected,’ a source told the publication.

‘So they have to keep production and release all on a tight schedule. If one release gets pushed back, then they all go back, and that’s when things get messy.’

In April, Daily Mail Australia revealed that pre-production of the film was suspended and all Fox Studios staff were forced to work from home.

‘Nothing is being filmed at the moment, our production offices are empty,’ they said at the time.

Back in February, it was revealed Marvel Studios took over the entire backlot of the Sydney studios, forcing other local productions, including The Voice Australia and The Masked singer to film at other locations.

The New South Wales Minister for the Arts’ office has confirmed Create NSW, which assisted in funding the project, was still waiting on ‘decisions from the United States’ to make a call about the film.

It’s also understood American actress Natalie Portman was due to fly Down Under end of April to begin work on the upcoming blockbuster.

But after the pre-production of the film was suspended, the 39-year-old actress’ trip to Sydney was also canned.

Meanwhile, Chris has been holed up in his Byron Bay mansion with his family until a decision about the film has been made.
