Chris Hemsworth will soon be returning to his most famous Marvel role as superhero Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder. Now fans have got their first look at the eagerly-anticipated film.
The new instalment is a sequel to the 2017 film Thor: Ragnarok and will be directed by Taika Waititi, who has previously directed episodes of The Mandalorian, The Inbetweeners and Flight of The Conchords, as well as the previous Thor film. In an interview with the podcast The Discourse, the director said the “energy and intention” were the same as when he was directing the last Thor film.
In the new trailer, we see Thor (at least initially) living a life of relative tranquility, saying “these hands were once used for battle, now they are but humble tools for peace”, and seemingly going on a voyage of self-discovery. He goes on to say “my superhero-ing days are over”, appearing costume-less, in relatively normal attire. How long that peace will last is yet to be seen, as the IMDB synopsis for the film tells us that “Thor reunites with Valkyrie, Korg and his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster to fight the threat of Gorr, The God Butcher”.
