The God of Thunder is on a new quest for peace in Marvel's "Thor: Love and Thunder." [2] In the fourth instalment of the Thor [3] series, following the events in "Avengers: Endgame," [4] our beloved hero (played by Chris Hemsworth [5]) declares that his "superhero-ing days are over" as he looks to start a new chapter of self-discovery. On April 18, Marvel Studios released the first teaser trailer for the forthcoming film, giving us a brief glimpse of what's in store for Thor.
The minute-and-a-half clip — set to the tune of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" — begins with Thor declaring his retirement, just after the fall of his kingdom Asgard in the last Avengers [6] film. "These hands were once used for battle; now they're but humble tools for peace," he says in the trailer. But according to the movie's logline [7], Thor's journey for peace will soon be interrupted by galactic killer Gorr the God Butcher [8] (played by Christian Bale [9]), who's on a mission to eliminate the gods.
The rest of "Thor: Love and Thunder"'s teaser marks the return of several franchise stars reprising their roles, including Tessa Thompson [10], Taika Waititi [11], and Chris Pratt [12]. But the biggest resurgence from the trailer is Natalie Portman [13] as Jane Foster, who's now been unveiled as the new mighty Thor.
