The highly anticipated Marvel movie of the summer, Thor: Love and Thunder, has a full official trailer. This time, we get a glimpse of Christian Bale’s viscerally named villain Gorr the God Butcher. Plus, there’s another look at Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster, aka Thor’s ex-girlfriend.
The initial look at Thor: Love and Thunder didn’t reveal much in the way of a hard plot for the fourth Thor flick, which sees the Avenger and former king of Asgard (Chris Hemsworth) suffer a mid-life crisis and go traveling with the Guardians of the Galaxy, led by the slightly peeved Star-Lord (Chris Pratt).
At some point, Thor faces Gorr the God Butcher, who lives up to his name. “All gods will die,” he declares in the trailer.
“The film finds Thor on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced — a quest for inner peace,” reads Marvel’s official synopsis. “But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher, who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, 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.”
