Attention, follow spoiler!
Thor 4: Love and Thunder saves a few surprises for the end credits. In the mid-credit scene, for example, we learn that from now on Brett Goldstein is up to mischief as a fierce Hercules in the MCU. Meanwhile, the post-credits scene of the new Marvel blockbuster brings the same two dead figures back to a very special place.

After the credits of Thor 4, the previously deceased materializes Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) in a heavenly place. She is greeted by heimdal (Idris Elba), who died in the third Avengers film. As it turns out, the characters are in front of the Gates of Valhalla (also known as Valhalla or Walhalla).

Valhalla is a place originally from Norse mythology. It is about a huge hall in the afterlife, in which fighters who fell in battle retreat. There is an equivalent in the Marvel Universe for this resting place, which we’re now seeing on the big screen for the first time thanks to Thor 4.

With the Thor 4 end credits scene, Marvel has found the ultimate trick to bring back dead characters

So far, the MCU hasn’t really ventured into the afterlife. With Valhalla we now even have a concrete place that can be visited as often as you like and does not only exist in visions or dreams. The great hall is likely to be reserved for figures for the time being associated with Thorbut the first step has been taken.
If Jane Foster and Heimdall can meet in the blazing sunlight of infinity, perhaps Tony Stark will be in a similarly forgiving place after his heroic death Ran into Natasha Romanoff. In other words, nothing stands in the way of the MCU version of The Good Place on Disney+.
Thor 4: Love and Thunder has been running since July 6, 2022 in German cinemas.
