Along with an exciting new trailer, audiences can’t wait to see Marvel Studios Thor: Love and Thunder were also recently treated to a new official synopsis, breaking down the main points of the highly anticipated film.
The synopsis describes Thor’s journey after the events of Avengers: Endgame, now a search for his own sense of tranquility. But he is prevented from retiring by Gorr the Butcher God, who, as his name suggests, destroys the gods of the world. It’s up to Thor, Jane Foster and Valkyrie to put an end to Gorr’s horrific campaign.
Read the full synopsis below:
The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on an unprecedented journey – a quest for inner peace. But his retreat 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 magic hammer, Mjolnir, as Mighty. Thor. Together they embark on a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s revenge 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” hits theaters July 8, 2022.
After a year of leaked artwork teasing the new appearance of Thor and Jane Foster, the new God of Thunder, now wielding a reassembled Mjolnir, has finally made his official debut in the recently released trailer, amid a fierce battle. Actress Natalie Portman’s final appearance as Foster – apart from repurposed footage featured in Avengers: Endgame — was in 2013 Thor: The Dark World, in which she helped the Asgardian defeat Malekith. However, she also voiced a variant of the character in the What if…? episode “What If… Thor Was an Only Child?”
There are several details that are still currently unknown, such as how she will come to possess Mjolnir, which was shattered by Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. However, Portman previously teased Thor: Love and Thunder will draw from the cartoon. In 2020, the actor said, “It’s based on the Mighty Thor graphic novel. She’s going through cancer treatment and is a superhero on the side.”
Thor: Love and Thunder is set to explode into theaters on July 8.
