Chris Hemsworth begins taking pictures for Thor Love And Thunder

Actor Chris Hemsworth has began taking pictures for Marvel’s Thor: Love And Thunder with director Taika Waititi in Australia.

The shoot started on January 26, celebrated as Australia Day. The crew started the taking pictures with a ceremony that includes the Gamay dancers of Gadigal and Bidiagal Nation and karakia from Te Aranganui, that are indigenous tribes of Australia. Chris and Taika shared pictures from the ceremony on their social media.

Sharing the pictures on Instagram, Chris Hemsworth wrote, “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.”

Taika Waititi in the meantime tweeted, “Started Love & Thunder with Welcome to Country ceremony from Gamay dancers of Gadigal & Bidiagal Nation and karakia from Te Aranganui. I encourage all film makers to engage with 1st nations peoples whenever shooting your films. It’s worth it and it’s the right thing to do.”
