WATCH: Thor: Love and Thunder Teaser Released

While Spider-Man and Doctor Strange have been stealing the Marvel limelight as of late, another big Avenger is set for another cinematic outing this year. The first trailer for the fourth standalone Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder, has been released, giving us a closer-look at what to expect from Taika Waititi’s next Marvel effort.

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.

Thor: Love and Thunder hits theatres on 8 July 8 2022. Check out the trailer below:
