With the third Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer dominating the conversation online this week, it's easy to forget that the Thor-centric sneak peek only arrived in theaters last Thursday.
After early leaks that were seemingly shot on a phone from 2007, we eventually received some higher-quality efforts. However, by that point, Disney and Marvel Studios were acting quickly to remove them from YouTube and social media almost as soon as they appeared.
This official version of the teaser provides a better look at Chris Hemsworth's new, shorter haircut and updated costume as Thor. Crucially, it also establishes that the Russo Brothers are taking the character seriously after the God of Thunder got a little too goofy in 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder.
Showing Thor spending time with his daughter, Love (India Rose Hemsworth), and walking through the forest before praying to his father, Odin, the preview doesn't reveal much. It does, however, set the tone for a version of the Odinson most fans would prefer to see on screen.
"The war and now fate have given me something I never sought," a tearful Thor says in the teaser. "A child. A life untouched by this all. Lend to me the strength of the All-Fathers so that I might fight once more."
"Defeat one more enemy and return home to her, not as a warrior, but as warmth. To teach her not battle, but stillness. The kind I never knew, Please father, hear my words," the Odinson concludes before the words "Thor Will Return In Avengers: Doomsday" show up on screen with another countdown to the movie's release.
