Thor: Love and Thunder

Thor Odinson and Jane Foster are swole-mates in a new image from Thor: Love and Thunder. On Monday, Marvel Studios released the full trailer for director ...

To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who — to Thor's surprise — inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher's vengeance and stop him before it's too late. Going from dad bod to god bod to get back in superhero shape after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the retired space viking is on a quest for inner peace when ex-girlfriend Jane — now wielding Mjolnir as The Mighty Thor — returns to help Thor, Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), and Korg (Waititi) conquer the blood-thirsty Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). "I wanted to embrace this thing that I was always a bit dismissive of, and explore this idea of love, and show characters who do believe in love," Waititi previously told Empire Magazine of Phase 4's Thor 4.

Thor: Love and Thunder has finally introduced Jane Foster's identity as the Mighty Thor. But how long has the scientist been a hero?

But as more moments get shown where Jane's skills as a hero could keep up with Thor and others like her, the more likely it is that her first real bad guy wasn't her actual first enemy. No matter the explanation, there's no doubt that Jane has had enough experience with her new power to gain the skills necessary to survive combat against other Gods and deadly creatures. But even if she were Thor during that time, rather than erased from existence, there were certianly events that gave her experience against slightly more advanced enemies.

During the new Love and Thunder trailer, Jane was shown fighting enemies on Olympus with Mjolnir. But rather than use the hammer as a blunt instrument, she was ...

As a result, she uses the hammer as an extension of herself rather than a powerful weapon as Thor did. In that window where Thor was hammerless, her own will could have pulled the pieces back together and been the reason that she became the new wielder. What's even more intriguing than that ability is the question of how it could hold itself together in a way that Thor was never able to do.

Thor: Love and Thunder will bring Russell Crowe's Zeus to the MCU, but will the Olympian leader be around long with Gorr the God Butcher on the hunt?

Will the Butcher’s quest mean Zeus and the Olympians are also his targets in Love and Thunder? If so, Russell Crowe’s time as Zeus in the MCU may end as quickly as the mystery of who he’d play. What business will the God of Thunder have with the God of the Thunderbolt? Zeus and Thor might very well find themselves with a common enemy. And with All-Black the Necrosword and his cloak of tendrils, he can kill any god he likes. Without the nectar of the Gods they too can die, as both Odin and Loki have in the MCU. For though all the Marvel Olympians are powerful, Zeus is unquestionably the strongest, having defeated both Hulk and Galactus in combat. In Marvel Comics, Zeus Panhellenios exists, same as the Norse god Odin and the Egyptian god Osiris. Zeus reigns over his fellow Olympians, who the Ancient Greeks and Romans worshipped.

Marvel Studios releases a new trailer for Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder secretly hinting at the tragic death of Thor (Chris Hemsworth).

Whatever the case may be, everything that has been revealed through Thor: Love and Thunder's trailers looks solid. The Thor: Love and Thunder trailer opens with Korg (Taika Waititi) telling the story of Thor, particularly focusing on the Asgardian's mission on Earth and weight-loss journey after his Fat Thor stint in Avengers: Endgame. Noticeably, however, the Kronan talks about the God of Thunder in the past tense, hinting that by the time he recalls Thor's adventures, he is no longer around. The new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer secretly hints at Thor's tragic death.

Thor fans should be having a fantastic start to their week with the release of a fantastic new trailer for the upcoming film Thor: Love and Thunder.

But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. "If you wrote down all the elements of this film, it shouldn't make sense," the director added, "It's almost like it shouldn't be made. An Instagram artist that goes by the handle @Clements.Ink shared a new piece that imagines Beta Ray Bill in live-action. "Well, just between [me and] you and the readers, I've done some crazy sh*t in my life. While speaking with Empire Magazine, Waititi went into detail about how this film is the craziest thing he's ever done in his life. One Marvel Studios fan has created a cool design that shows how the character could look in live-action.

After the full trailer dropped for Thor: Love and Thunder, fans are already making callbacks and comparisons of the God of Thunder's new adventure.

Even though it's a hyperbolic statement, the trailer has already convinced fans of Waititi's style that Love and Thunder will be another movie to add to the list of favorite MCU movies. Some fans thought the Scarlet Witch was a terrifying villain, but Gorr might shape up to be even more dread-inducing than Wanda at her worst. In Endgame, Scott Lang famously says the line "That's America's Ass!" to Steve Rogers while time traveling and seeing past Cap's iconic behind. Christian Bale is one of the greatest living actors and has previously sworn he was done with comic book movies. Honestly, Loki dying in the MCU has happened so many times that at this point, it has become a long-running joke. Gorr is a character hell-bent on a mission and his extremist tendencies have him looking like this kid about to pop a blood vessel in some scenes. With no Loki apparently in this film, this is a heartwarming tribute. The similarly thin symbiotic-like model walks with a purpose and vehemence like the God Butcher promises. Fans made connections between other characters like Voldemort and Skeletor, but also this classic iconic meme of a distressed kid in class. With the '80s music, throwback vibes, a skeletal villain, and a long blond-haired hero — the similarities between the two franchises were more apparent in the trailer and poster than ever. Some fans created a hypothetical crossover in their own mind from the trailer alone. Fans quickly made sure Thor channeled his inner Agatha Harkness.

CHECK OUT THE NEW 'THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER' TRAILER: Entertainment Tonight reports that on Monday (May 23rd), Marvel released the new trailer for Thor: Love ...

RITA MORENO SAYS SHE’S ‘TICKLED’ TO PLAY VIN DIESEL’S GRANDMOTHER IN ‘FAST X:’ On Tuesday (May 24th), Vin Diesel posted a video to Instagram with the legendary Rita Moreno and Michelle Rodriguez, announcing that Moreno will be playing his grandmother in the new Fast and Furious movie. “It's been my dream forever to work with Rita Moreno and the fact that she's here, playing my grandmother, makes my soul smile. See Natalie Portman wielding Thor’s hammer, Chris Hemsworth in all his “Space Viking” glory, and Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher.

He continued: "This film is incredible, I cannot wait for the fans to see it. It is the greatest thing I have ever had the pleasure and honour of working on." The trailer begins with narration from Korg (voiced by director Taika Waititi) who says: "Kids, get the popcorn out, let me tell you the story of the Space Viking: Thor Odinson," before we go on to see the title character's reunion with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster – his ex-girlfriend who is now taking on the mantle of Mighty Thor.

The first official trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder is hiding plenty more MCU gods... but will they appear in the upcoming movie or are they long gone?

At one point, the Living Tribunal was set to appear in Avengers: Infinity War but was cut, but seemingly made a tiny appearance in the background of Doctor Strange 2. However, he’s usually depicted as a universal constant – unphased by the trials and tribulations of the universe. Unlike Death, Eternity tends not to take an active interest in the dealings of the universe, but instead is often the target of attacks from those who wish to wield his power. As such, he has control over every living being in the entire universe with the exception of The Living Tribunal (more on that below). He’s essentially the collective consciousness of every living being in the entire universe. Eon is a quasi-physical entity believed to be responsible for numerous phenomena on Earth. He monitors all life across the universe, paying special attention to those with immense power.

It only gets stranger from there. On the right, The Living Tribunal, a cosmic entity who rules over the multiverse, can be seen. Things are a little less clear ...

At the end of the trailer, Thor loses his clothes (thanks to Zeus flicking too hard, naturally) and reveals his new tattoos. In one scene involving Mighty Thor raising Mjolnir to the sky, bronze busts of multiple figures can be seen in the background. So, you’ve seen the new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer.

Take a look at the action-packed (and Guns N' Roses-featuring) two-minute trailer for Thor: Love And Thunder below. The film is the latest in the seemingly never-ending MCU canon, which most recently gave us Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, and Disney+ series Moon Knight. The latest trailer for MCU blockbuster Thor: Love And Thunder has arrived, giving us a more in-depth look at Natalie Portman as a returning and fully Thor'd-up Jane Foster, a glimpse of Russell Crowe as Greek God overlord Zeus and the first look at Christian Bale as terrifying supervillain Gorr The God Butcher. Basically, there is a lot going on, and we're excited about all of it.

The worst part of the trailer? Second best part of the trailer? Best part of the trailer?

As frankly prophesized three years ago, this is essentially “Marvel stomps on Sony or Netflix's attempts to make a He-Man movie.”

It’s a little depressing that Thor would still be pining for Jane Foster (and apparently, she for him) 11 years after their first meeting, as you’d hope that both respective A+ dating specimens would have moved on. They can approximate other genres and even other franchises with unlimited financial resources and a built-in fanbase that A) will show up and B) will automatically hold MCU products in higher regard. Love & Thunder’s biggest commercial advantage is the mere fact that audiences who aren’t still obsessed with the MCU as a brand will still show up because they liked Thor: Ragnarök. How old-fashioned... Who cares if Sony and/or Netflix ever gets around to making a He-Man movie when you have both Thor: Ragnarök and now Thor: Love & Thunder? That’s no discredit to the folks who put it together, but it was one of those cases, like the first teaser for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where no one wanted to put a trailer out then and needed to cobble together 110-seconds worth of footage while saving most of the goodies for the next reveal. The first teaser for Thor: Love & Thunder, released in mid-April, was seemingly a capitulation to online fandoms demanding a trailer “right now.” It was frankly a halfhearted affair.

The new trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder contains a hilarious nod to Tom Hiddleston's Loki.

Maybe one of the Guardians of the Galaxy convinced him to do it. Or, maybe one of the misfits did it themselves. Given how the world watched an entire Loki series roughly a year ago, it’s hard not to wonder: Will fans see Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief at any point?

This time, we get a glimpse of Christian Bale's viscerally named villain Gorr the God Butcher. Plus, there's another look at Natalie Portman's Jane Foster, aka ...

At the very moment he was to activate the Godbomb, Gorr realized that in his quest for power, influence, and self-satisfaction, he had become a god himself. And that was the moment that Gorr the God Butcher was born. Gorr only appeared at the beginning and the very end of that run, but his legacy was felt throughout, as an embodiment of its themes. Enraged that a god would ask him for help after his life of prayer had gone unheeded, Gorr took up the other god’s blade and murdered the first. Jason Aaron and Esad Ribić created Gorr as the first villain of their 2012 series Thor: God of Thunder, which proved a launching pad for Aaron’s seven-year run at the helm of Marvel’s Asgard stories. As Gorr approached, seeing with his own eyes proof that gods existed, one of the armored figures called out to him ... for help.

To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjölnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late. In the newly released trailer, fans will see Thor call on the Gods of Olympus for help, led by Zeus (Russell Crowe), after Gorr brings the titular hero out of retirement when the God Butcher attempts to live up to his name. The hero would have had a lot of time to think about his past life, including his love for Jane who he hasn’t seen in almost a decade. Korg (Taika Waititi) and King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) are seen behind our two lead heroes with the latter riding their signature Pegasus. The Viking ship being pulled by two flying goats behind our ragtag team of gods is a nice touch as well. In the fast-approaching movie, Thor will go on a journey of self-discovery and will be retired when we meet up with him at the beginning of the film. The image sees the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) and The Mighty Thor (Natalie Portman) in costume on a rock surrounded by waterfalls.

An exchange between Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) in the new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer may suggest that Jane was blipped.

Thor: Love and Thunder arrives on the big screen on July 8. Alongside Hemsworth and Portman, Tessa Thompson returns as Valkyrie and Chris Pratt and co. Of course, this conversation is a humorous way of showing that Thor took his break-up with Jane a lot harder than she did.

Zeus could take offense to this and humiliate his Norse counterpart, which would explain Thor’s birthday suit appearance at the end of the trailer. This indicates that Love and Thunder will also serve as a Gorr origin story, which, if it stays true to the comics, is riddled with tragedy. The God of Thunder dons a new winged helmet that covers his face, unlike the one he wore briefly in 2011’s Thor and the Sakaar battle armor he sported in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok. Oddly enough, Jane and Valkyrie watch from the crowd, amused by their friend’s torment, not unlike Loki on Sakaar in Thor: Ragnarok. If the mighty one goes the way of his father and evaporates into the stars, this “Story of the Space Viking” could serve as a tribute. First revealed in the opening act of Avengers: Endgame, New Asgard rebranded the formerly regal civilization as a fishing colony, as the Asgardians traded in their golden robes for neon rain jackets. Jane questions if it had been “three years” since she last saw Thor, to which the Stormbreaker-wielding hero corrects her to eight years and change. How did her relationship with SHIELD change after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier? Was she a victim of Thanos’ snap? Korg could be catching his audience up on the “500 times” Thor has saved the world in the past, or he could be recounting the life of his inactive Asgardian buddy. That, or this could be a tribute story to the original Avenger after he has passed. The second Thor: Love and Thunder trailer opens with Taika Waititi’s Korg narrating a campfire story about the titular character. Following the first director to helm a full trilogy and the first origin story on Disney+ comes Thor: Love and Thunder, the first time a solo franchise has received a fourth installment.

In the teaser we see Thor's initial reaction to Mjolnir, only for it to resist his pull and fly into Jane's fist, leading to the big reveal. The new Jane- ...

Regardless of whether the Blip will factor into the way Jane finds her powers, the MCU has been careful to show just how being Blipped has affected each and every character. Thor: Love and Thunder has the opportunity to use the Blip as a convenient way to explain Jane’s new abilities. In the trailer, Jane and Thor finally have a moment to talk after the battle that reunited them, and Jane brings up how long it’s been since they saw each other.

What happened to Thor's dad bod? Who is Christian Bale playing? We breakdown the Thor: Love and Thunder trailer.

Thor: Love and Thunder also seem to be bringing new cosmic characters to the MCU. Or at least the movie confirms these characters exist. The most precious moment of the new trailer shows Hemsworth entirely naked. First, the new trailer teases the relationship between Thor Odinson ( Chris Hemsworth) and the new God of Thunder, his ex-girlfriend Jane ( Natalie Portman). Then, we got the best look yet at the villain Gorr, the God Butcher (Christian Bale). Finally, the most exciting bit of them all, we almost get to see Hemsworth fully naked! While Gorr talks about killing every god, we get another look at the giant snow beat we saw in the first trailer. If Gorr can destroy entire planets with a single attack, he’s a threat to the whole universe and must be stopped at all costs. So, let’s break down all the key moments of Thor: Love and Thunder’s latest trailer and find out what new exciting things director Taika Waititi is bringing to the MCU. Each piece of the shattered hammer behaves just as the whole tool, flying away according to its owner’s will. Thor: Love and Thunder’s latest trailer also gives us a good look at Gorr, a villain who’s convinced all gods are selfish creatures who only bring pain to the people. While Gorr looks different in the comic books, the villain’s motivations remain the same in the new trailer. While Korg is sharing Thor’s legend, we get a new glimpse at New Asgard, the nation ruled by Queen Valkyrie ( Tessa Thompson). While New Asgard looked somewhat rural during the events of Avengers: Endgame, the country seems to have grown under Valkyrie’s ruling, becoming a great city and a touristic attraction. The trailer opens with everyone's favorite rock man Korg (voiced by Waititi), who’s spreading the word of Thor to a group of young blue aliens. While we still don’t know if the MCU version of Gorr will get his powers in the same way he got them in comic books, the movie version of the trailer is indeed powerful.

Thor and his fellow Asgardians aren't the only gods in town. Let's break down the pantheon of gods in the Marvel Universe, as well as the ones we've seen in ...

Zorr'Kiri is the Skrull Goddess of Love, and is a prime candidate for Love and Thunder considering she was one of the many killed by Gorr the God Butcher in the comics. In terms of world-building, Hercules’ short-lived God Squad included the Inuit god Narya/Snowbird, Greece’s Venus/Siren, and even the all-powerful Ra/Atum from Egypt. Although they might not warrant their own movie, the MCU is building more teams by the day. In the comics, humanity mistook the Eternals for the Greek gods. Then there’s Amatsu-Mikaboshi - the Japanese God of Evil - who just so happens to be a major enemy of Hercules and Thor. After his introduction in 1965’s Journey Into Mystery Annual #1, Hercules has done everything from leading his own series to suiting up as part of the Avengers. With Hercules effectively seen as Thor’s Greek counterpart, he’s a prime candidate to replace Chris Hemsworth onscreen as the MCU’s resident god Avenger, if the Thor actor ever bows out. Although superhero movie fans might associate Zeus, Ares, and Hercules with the DC Extended Universe thanks to Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, Marvel has its own Greek gods waiting in the wings.

Watch the newest trailer for the next big Marvel movie, due out in July.

As mentioned above, this trailer also introduces Gorr the God Butcher. It may come as no surprise to you that he intends on wiping out all gods, which includes both Thors. We've got a full Thor: Love and Thunder trailer breakdown to help you catch all the minor details. The first trailer for Love and Thunder debuted in April, showing Thor meeting up with the Guardians of the Galaxy (who themselves are returning for a new film in May 2023). This time out, we get the reunion between Thor and his ex-girlfriend Jane (Natalie Portman), who is able to wield Mjolnir and rule as Thor, herself. The newest trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder has arrived, showing more of Chris Hemsworth as Thor coming to terms with his life and existence after the events of Avengers: Endgame. This newest trailer also reveals, for the first time, Oscar-winner Christian Bale (The Fighter, The Dark Knight) as Gorr the God Butcher.

The “Thor: Love and Thunder” writer/director, who penned the MCU script with co-writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, took to Twitter to joke about the messed-up ...

— Taika Waititi (@TaikaWaititi)May 24, 2022 — Taika Waititi (@TaikaWaititi)May 24, 2022 Thor enlists the help of Korg (voiced by Waititi) and Valkyrie (Thompson) in his mission. I couldn’t be happier with it.” “Nice one, @Twitter technology!” The film will premiere in theaters July 8.

Talented actor Christian Bale is going to be one of the leading roles in the latest Marvel film 'Thor: Love and Thunder'.

Gorr appears like a statue which has come to life, covered in rugged white and grey cloth. Gorr is on a mission to kill Gods, as he believes they only serve themselves. According to Disney, the synopsis of the film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey, unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace.

The newest Thor: Love & Thunder trailer still manages to make reference to the passing of the beloved trickster God and adopted brother of Thor, Loki.

The reveal, and the contents of the tattoo, are showcased in Love and Thunder in the most farcical way, in true Taika Waititi style. The first trailer for Love and Thunder showcased a heartbreaking Avengers: Infinity War detail which made reference to Loki and his memory, and now the second trailer shows further evidence that Thor's brother is there in spirit. The first official Thor: Love and Thunder trailer shows that Loki will never be forgotten by Thor, or the films for that matter.
