Chris Hemsworth confirms Thor: Love and Thunder filming start

Chris Hemsworth has been quite active on his Instagram handle where he has more than 46 million followers. He recently shared multiple pictures from the first day of Thor: Love and Thunder shooting. The actor not only gave updates about the movie but also educated others on the significance of the divisive Australia Day, which happens on January 26th. Director, Taika Waititi is also seen in the photos as both of them get a warm welcome in a traditional way.

Chris Hemsworth’s caption read, "A beautiful start to our shoot today with a Welcome to Country ceremony from the Gamay dancers of the Gadigal and Bidiagal Nation and performance and karakia by Maori dancers from Te Aranganui. Indigenous Australians may be just as proud of this country, but many see January 26th as a date signifying the beginning of dispossession, disease epidemics, frontier violence, destruction of culture, exploitation, abuse, separation of families and subjection to policies of extreme social control. Let’s begin the healing and stand together in unity and support with our First Nations people with solidarity and compassion. Let’s find a date where all Australians can celebrate this beautiful country together. #changethedate @taikawaititi #thorloveandthunder 📷 @jasinboland" (sic).
