As announced over the weekend by Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth, and Tessa Thompson, the second trailer for the next MCU movie, Thor: Love and Thunder, just dropped during Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
Check out the new electrifying trailer below:
Love and Thunder promises to be an emotional roller coaster for Thor Odinson, who will undergo a midlife crisis after finding out that Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) is not only back in his life, but is now wielding Mjolnir. Taika Waititi himself told the following to Empire Magazine:
“[Jane Foster]’s had a whole other life, and then the love of your life comes back on the scene, and is now dressed like you. It’s a real mindfuck for Thor. But I can’t promise anything. I think most people will assume that the love story is between Chris and Natalie. I can’t promise that what people think is going to happen in this film will happen.”
Waititi also said it will be a deeper film than Thor: Ragnarok, as it will deal with the human experience, something ironic for the God of Thunder. The director told the following to Entertainment Weekly:
“Ragnarok felt a bit like a party. It was quite festive. This one is still fun, and it’s got moments of being over the top, but thematically, it’s about something a bit deeper than the last film. It’s not a serious film, and it’s not a drama, but we do deal with ideas that I think a lot of humans deal with — universal themes about love and loss and our place in the world. Everyone sort of asks this question in the film: What is your purpose? What is the reason that you’re a hero, and what do you do when you have these powers?”
In addition to the main trailer, the official poster for Thor: Love and Thunder has dropped online:

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
