Earlier this week, Marvel Studios officially unveiled the first merchandise for Thor: Love and Thunder. Seeing as there have been several pieces of leaked promo art, nothing there was particularly revealing, though it has seemingly been confirmed that Gorr the God Butcher will wield his Necrosword from the comic books (which we're assuming will be tied to Hela rather than Venom in the MCU).
For many fans, a closer look at Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor was most welcomed, and a higher resolution version of that promo art has now started circulating online.
A closer look at the costume confirms we're definitely getting a comic-accurate take on this fan-favourite character in Thor: Love and Thunder, though it's Mjolnir that's been getting the most attention. As suspected after seeing those early set photos, something happens that leads to the remains of the God of Thunder's hammer being reformed and later wielded in battle by this new Thor.
Thor: Ragnarok established that Mjolnir isn't necessarily what grants Thor his powers, so we're curious what leads to Jane being transformed from a mild-mannered scientist to an Asgardian superhero!
Directed by Taika Waititi, the movie stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Russell Crowe, Jaimie Alexander, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, and Sean Gunn among others.
Thor: Love and Thunder is set to be released in theaters on July 8.
