THOR 4 LOVE AND THUNDER. Marvel Studios has unveiled a brand new Thor Love and Thunder trailer featuring Christian Bale as Gorr. Who is the main villain of the film?
[Mis à jour le 24 mai 2022 à 10h50] Two months before its cinema release, the new film from Marvel Studios continues to unfold little by little. On May 24, a second trailer for Thor Love and Thunder was released, which marks the return of New Zealander Taika Waititi behind the camera for the sequel to thor ragnarok, which he had already done. This second trailer, marked by the filmmaker’s typical traits of humor, is also an opportunity to discover for the first time Christian Bale in the guise of Gorr, who will be the big bad of this fourth film dedicated to the god of thunder.
The appearance is very mysterious but the character is already chilling. In the comics, Gorr goes by the nickname “butcher of the gods”. As the title suggests, Gorr hunts down deities to kill them whenever he can. In the Marvel comics, he regularly struggles with Thor trying to incapacitate him. Gorr had multiple iterations, some with superhuman powers, some not. In any event, Gorr has at least several millennia of combat experience and is skilled enough to duel against a god without issue. This promises great adversity for Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Mighty Thor (Natalie Portman).
In the first trailer for Thor 4, unveiled on April 18, we can see snippets of the quest that awaits Thor. We discover our protagonist undertake an initiatory journey to find inner peace and his place in the world after the events ofavengers Endgame. But his adventures alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy will be interrupted by Gorr the Butcher of the Gods, who sets out to make the gods disappear. This fourth episode is particularly awaited by fans since it introduces for the first time in the MCU Mighty Thor, that is to say Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) wielding Mjollnir. We can see this superheroine at the end of the trailer, before learning more about the film which will be released on July 13, 2022 in French cinemas.
film profile
Synopsis – Thor joins the Guardians of the Galaxy and goes on a quest to find his place in the world and inner peace. But when Gorr the Butcher of the Gods sets out to make the deities disappear, the God of Thunder is forced out of retirement.
Thor 4 has been long awaited by fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Entitled “Love and Thunder”, this fourth installment was to be released in February 2022. It was finally postponed by a few months. In France, it is from July 13, 2022 that we will be able to discover the new adventures of the God of Thunder in cinemas.
In the cast of this fourth film centered on Thor, we also find Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, who will camp again Jane Foster, Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) as well as Christian Bale who will be the big bad. However, we do not know exactly who his character will be. It’s been rumored to be Balder, the illegitimate son of Odin, after Thor’s hidden sister was introduced in Thor Ragnarok. It was his co-star, Tessa Thompson (the interpreter of Valkyrie) who confirmed the news at the microphone of Entertainment weekly.
For her part, Natalie Portman will be back in the MCU. And this time, she will hold the Mjöllnir hammer! An announcement all the more striking as Natalie Portman had no longer been seen in a marvel movie since Thor 2 (2013) and that we thought she was angry with Marvel Studios. Obviously, this is not the case and the studio owned by Disney intends to make Jane Foster, her character in the universe, a superheroine named Mighty Thor. Taika Waititi has also confirmed that she will bear this name in her film in reference to the comic book series Mighty Thor written by Jason Aaron in which Jane Foster proves herself worthy of being the bearer of the legendary hammer Mjöllnir and the powers of Thor.
