Thor Love and Thunder’s first trailer is now out, but Marvel Studios has also dropped a new story synopsis for the film, which explains some larger story details that aren’t yet revealed in this initial teaser. Short version: the official synopsis for Thor 4 explains how Chris Hemsworths’ Thor is on an existential quest for new meaning in his life following Thanos’ defeat in Avengers: Endgame. However, what the first trailer doesn’t tell us is the threat that’s looming out there in the universe: Christian Bale new Marvel Cinematic Universe villain, Gorr The God Butcher!
A new trailer and poster are now available for Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Love and Thunder,” offering long-awaited clues to what’s in store for the God of Thunder.
The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of 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.
Directed by Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Jojo Rabbit”) and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, “Thor: Love and Thunder” opens in theaters July 8, 2022.
