Thor: Love and Thunder

The new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer is here, and it brings us Christian Bale as terrifying bad guy Gorr the God-Butcher, Russell Crowe as Zeus, more Jane ...

He’s even wearing his costume from The Unworthy Thor era when he first sees her (and his King Thor suit when he exclaims “Jane?” in the trailer’s next shot). What does this have to do with the helmet? No idea who the third figure is in the background. Russell Crowe is clearly going to have the time of his life in this movie, ain’t he? ANYWAY, back to our guy…Gorr was created by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic in 2013, as part of the same Thor series that eventually introduced the Jane Foster Thor to official Marvel Comics continuity. Interestingly, this trailer puts to rest the theory that Jane could possibly be a variant from another timeline. On the other hand, you don’t bring Thor to Olympus and introduce Zeus unless you need some recognizable god to be butchered and establish Gorr as a credible threat. We’re still holding out hope that this movie also introduces the Marvel version of Hercules somehow. When his “prayers” were answered in the form of a powerful alien sword, he decided to take a, shall we say, proactive approach to getting the gods’ attention. But then we get the vibe shift at exactly one minute in, with the long-awaited introduction (and official first look at) Christian Bale as the film’s big villain, Gorr the God-Butcher. Why? Because Gorr is a being whose prayers were never answered, who lived a miserable, hard life, and whose family died of starvation and disease while he prayed for salvation. And the second Thor: Love and Thunder trailer?

A new synopsis for Thor: Love and Thunder confirms that Russel Crowe will be playing Zeus.

It likely means that Love and Thunder will delve into Gorr's tragic backstory and why he hates the gods. 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, 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. Considering Crowe's prominence in the newest trailer and his reportedly minor role, it's likely that Zeus will be a victim of Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher to help set the stakes for our heroes and shock audiences.

Marvel Studios have released the second trailer for Thor: Love And Thunder, showing off Christian Bale's villainous Gorr The God Butcher.

Due to hit cinemas on July 8, Thor: Love And Thunder will be 29th film in the MCU, following the release of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness earlier this month. If you walked into a room and said, ‘I want this and this and this.’ Who’s in it? His Korg character narrates the trailer, telling a group of alien children “the story of the space viking, Thor Odinson”.

Christian Bale is bringing the ick factor to 'Thor: Love and Thunder,' but Natalie Portman as the new God of Thunder is sure to spark things up.

The Inverse Analysis — Thor: Love and Thunder looks like it’s keeping up with the same comedic tones that 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok brought to the table and revitalized Thor as his own franchise. But at least Love and Thunder shows that Thor isn’t going away without a party. “The only thing gods care about is themselves,” Gorr says in the trailer. Just as Boston showed dominance in the second quarter, the Thor: Love and Thunder trailer similarly dominated Marvel fans’ senses. It’s also apparent Jane was dusted in the Blip, as she thinks only a few years have passed since she last saw her ex-boyfriend. (I’m too lazy to do the math but Thor’s quip about “eight years, seven months” sounds like the right amount of time between November 2013 and July 2022.)

The new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer sees Chris Hemsworth stripped naked and tied up while Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) enjoys the view.

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.

Bale is appropriately menacing in his pure white, grey, and black look. Marvel Studios has released a new trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder, and this one’s all about the villain. As his name implies, he kills Gods, and in the new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer, we see him literally shatter a planet using his weapon.

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 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.

In the new Marvel trailer, Thor (Christ Hemsworth) is seen reprising his role as her treks to Olympus where Zeus (Russell Crowe) reigns supreme.

That might make you think that Thor's assessment is wrong as that would place Love and Thunder in June 2022, meaning it would be before the 2023 of Endgame, which is definitely not possible. (It could also be a nod to the fact that Jane was Snapped away as we know from the Avengers: Endgame script, since there are five years between both dates.) The information comes from an exchange between Thor and Jane Foster, or should we say, Mighty Thor. "What's it been, like three, four years?"

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.

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.

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.

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.
