Love and Thunder is currently the first and only MCU project to use The Volume, but it could very well usher in a new standard going forward. 'And so it's a different style of acting - you're looking around the room, you may have some props to stand on, or the vehicle that you arrived in, whether it be my TIE Fighter or something else, but there's nothing else there, except what's projected.' So I find that your imagination has to fill in the rest.

'And now this world creates all of our solar system, our sky, our Earth, but it's really being projected through a computer. 'In the old days, we had greenscreen, which created our environment behind us,' Moff GIdeon actor Giancarlo Esposito told Collider. The movie also has the same cinematographer from 'The Mandalorian'. Something I'm excited about: Thor 4 is the first MCU film to utilize 'The Volume' visual effects technology, used in 'The Mandalorian' and the 2022 'The Batman' movie. It makes sense that this would be the film to start that trend given that Taika Waititi also directed The Mandalorian's first season finale, getting hands-on experience with the tech.

Previously, the MCU relied on blue and green screens, but this shift in technology should make Love and Thunder distinct from the over-ten-year-long history of MCU films.

If you don't know, The Volume is a wraparound screen that can be changed on the fly to pre-designed backgrounds, making for more immersive scenes with realistic lighting. Lucasfilm's VFX unit Industrial Light & Magic is aiding director Taika Waititi by providing a 'training program that's part of the company's diversity initiatives' while also lending a hand in executing the technology. Thor: Love and Thunder is the first MCU project to swap out the greenscreen in favour of The Mandalorian's Volume technology, even bringing in The Mandalorian's cinematographer to help out directly.
