The new trailer for Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder begins with Korg telling kids the story of space viking Thor Odinson. Korg explains that after saving Earth 500 times, Thor worked out and went from dad bod to god bod. The trailer shows a very fit Thor reaching for Mjolnir only to discover it goes to Jane’s outstretched hand rather than his.
Jane points out it’s been three or four years since they were romantically involved. Thor corrects her and says, “Eight years, seven months, and six days…give or take.”
The lengthy trailer also provides our first real look at Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher.
Chris Hemsworth returns to lead the cast as Thor. Russell Crowe is Zeus, Natalie Portman is Jane Foster/Mighty Thor, Tessa Thompson is King Valkyrie, and Taika Waititi is Korg. Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) directs.
Thor: Love and Thunder will open in theaters on July 8, 2022.
Marvel Studios’ official synopsis:
The film finds Thor (Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a search for self-discovery. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Thompson), Korg (Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Portman), 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.
