Thor: Love and Thunder sees the return of MCU alumni Chris Hemsworth as God of Thunder, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, who now takes on the mantle of Mighty Thor and will own the iconic Mjolnir. Oscar winner Christian Bale will also return to the superhero genre as he signs for Gore’s vicious role as a butcher god.

“The fourth part reveals Thor on a journey different from anything he has encountered – the search for inner peace. But his retirement was interrupted by a galactic assassin known as Gore, the butcher god who seeks the extinction of the gods, the synopsis said. “To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who, to Thor’s surprise, inexplicably controls his magic hammer, Mölnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark on a torturous space adventure to unravel the mystery of the revenge of the butcher God and stop him before it’s too late.
