Russell Crowe thunders into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. The Man of Steel and Oscar-winning Gladiator actor plays the Olympian god Zeus, who will ride the lightning and feel the thunder in director Taika Waititi’s ’80s throwback sequel to Thor: Ragnarok. The trailer, which reveals Jane Foster’s (Natalie Portman) electrifying entrance as the Mjolnir-wielding mighty Thor, teases a team up with the retired Thor (Chris Hemsworth) when Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) seeks the extinction of the gods. See the first look at Crowe’s Zeus below.

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.
