The teaser trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder didn't disappoint, and whether it was our first look at Russell Crowe's Zeus, Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor, or the God of Thunder's classic comic book costume, it's clear all the stops are being pulled out for this blockbuster. Now, that amazing sneak peek has been followed by a poster that we'd argue is among Marvel Studios' finest efforts.
Clearly inspired by everything from Rock 'N Roll album covers to Yor, The Hunter From The Future (look it up), it's a striking piece of imagery that has us even more excited for this adventure.
This poster features Thor rocking his Guardians of the Galaxy attire, though we're sure future trailers and promo material will put the spotlight both on that blue and gold armour and Jane Foster's Thor. Once Doctor Strange in the Multiverse is Madness is released, we're bound to see more, anyway.
The movie 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. Sounds like an electrifying ride, eh?
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, 2022.
