When approaching the costume in Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Love and Thunder,” costume designer Mays C. Rubio didn’t shy away from using an ample amount of color, thanks in large part to the film’s director, Taika Waititi.
“Taika is a volcano of eruptions,” she said. “He is a constant fountain of desire to do a lot of new things with new technology. He is very interested in getting into new technologies and he is very precise and well versed. He really takes me on my toes. keeps on. ”
“Thor: Love and Thunder”, which premieres in theaters Friday, is Rubio’s second “Thor” film and the third time he is working with Waititi. They adopted the same kitschy and colorful aesthetic used for the third Thor film, 2017’s “Thor: Ragnarok”, and took it a step further for the fourth film with new costumes for the titular superhero, played by Chris Hemsworth. . Mighty Thor, played by Natalie Portman.
Since “Thor: Love and Thunder” includes flashbacks and moments in the present, Rubio created about 25 costumes for Hemsworth, many of which were various iterations of Thor’s traditional uniform of metal-plated armor and a red cape. He created other versions of Thor’s uniform by incorporating more vibrant colors such as red, blue and metallic gold to match the exaggerated aesthetic of the film.
“It’s like fireworks in the sky with all the colors,” Rubio said of Thor’s costume. “It really is a blast, and I don’t think you can go any louder than Thor’s costume.”
As for Portman, who is returning to the Marvel Studios franchise to reprise her role of Dr. Jane Foster and to take on the new superhero title of Mighty Thor, elements of Thor’s uniform make it unique for a Rubio heroine. wanted to include.

While Portman sports a similar outfit, Rubio chose to use silver metallics and dark reds for the actress’s Mighty Thor outfit. However, the biggest difference between Thor’s costumes is that Portman was teamed with a winged silver headpiece.
Rubio said of working with Portman, “When you have an actor with that ability, he’s really that character before he even comes into the fitting room.” “She already has that character on her mind and she walks into the fitting room knowing exactly what she wants. We’ve created a wonderful, light, dynamic and very ’80s . [headpiece]And this [costumes’] Colors, we wanted to make them look similar to the old Thor, but because Thor has all these new colors, we wanted to do something different for him. ,
On the opposite end of the color spectrum is Christian Bale’s villain, Gore the God Butcher, who contrasts both Thors with his monochromatic white looks. For the character, Rubio wanted to reflect his ancient background, so he referenced old marble sculptures and created an intricately draped costume for Bell.
“It was interesting to make this character [costumes] White because it makes it more terrifying,” she explained. “We didn’t want to get into the villain in black because here the hero side is in black. Color has nothing to do with good or bad. Her draping is inspired by classic statuettes, and we were so happy to find the incredible fabric we treated to. It was an interesting fabric – it was hand woven and it gave it that kind of antiquity and antiquity to this god butcher who comes from a very ancient world. ,

Still holding some of the traditional style elements that were popular in Old Asgard.
Now with three Marvel Studios projects under her belt — Rubio also designed costumes for Disney+’s “WandaVision,” for which she won an Emmy Award — the costume designer explained that she thinks she’ll love “Thor: Love”. After completion, can take up any type of project. and Thunder. ,
“Having worked on this film in particular, I can tell you that I can be challenged to do anything in costume,” she said. “I am saying this without any guesswork. I am saying this because working in that world many times you must learn something. I am happy to say that I am very good in technology and design I’m on point and know how clothes fall.”
