Following its Digital debut next week, Thor: Love and Thunder is set to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 27, and the first of four deleted scenes has now been shared online (via IGN).
In "Looking for Zeus," we see Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Korg (Taika Waititi) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) arrive at Omnipotence City seeking an audience with Russell Crowe's Lighting God. Instead, they run into his other son (Brett Goldstein's Hercules debuts in the mid-credits scene) Dionysus, played by veteran stage and screen actor Simon Russell Beale.
The hedonistic deity isn't particularly helpful, shrugging of Thor's request before leaving for pre-orgy drinks in Aphrodite's.
Check out the scene below, and let us know if you plan on picking up Thor: Love and Thunder on Blu-ray.
Dionysus can actually be seen in the theatrical version of Love and Thunder in a crowd shot, but it seems Beale's big scene was scrapped along with appearances from Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster and Peter Dinklage's Eitri (we don't expect to see their deleted scenes).
Thor: Love and Thunder 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.
Directed by Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, Thor: Love and Thunder is now playing in theaters.
