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.
