  • First Look at New Comic-Inspired ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Promo Art

    First Look at New Comic-Inspired ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Promo Art

    Thor: Love and Thunder’s trailer is still nowhere to be seen, but we’re still getting a few glimpses of the film from some promo art and merchandise that is finding its way online. So, we may still have to wait a little longer for some actual footage, but @lovethundernews has uncovered some more promotional material for the film with a comic-inspired cover that features Thor alongside Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor.

    They aren’t alone, as the comic cover also includes Valkyrie and Korg. We even get a tease of Thor’s two goats that behind-the-scenes set photos revealed would be joining the upcoming production. It certainly looks like we’ll get to spend some time with Tanngrisnir and Tanngrnjostr in the upcoming film if they are heavily featured in the promotional material.

    For now, the merchandise is the only thing carrying us over until we actually get our first look of both in action. Gorr is noticeably absent from all merchandise, which means they are mainly focusing on the heroes for most of the promotional material. Of course, he was included in the Marvel Legends leak but that was our only real look at him so far.

    Still, it’s a great design and comic-inspired designs were always a great addition to merchandise. It’s great to see Korg get a stronger focus, as he was a stand-out character in Thor: Ragnarok. We’ll see if he has a bigger role in the upcoming film and how his life has been since King Valkyrie took over.

  • Thor’s Indian Voice Actor Reveals Work Has Finished on ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’s Missing Trailer

    Thor’s Indian Voice Actor Reveals Work Has Finished on ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’s Missing Trailer

    There’s been a heated discussion on when we might expect the official trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder to drop. It seemingly has broken the record of the latest a trailer has even been released for the studio, as the film continues to eye its July release window. Fans were hoping they might kick off the week with the trailer, but in a surprising twist, it seems they are just wrapping up work on the project.

    Indian actor and Hindi voice actor Gaurav Chopraa may have accidentally confirmed that the trailer is in its final stages, as the dub voice actor for Thor shared a picture in his Instagram stories that highlight that they’ve just finished work on the trailer. As such, it may be a hint that it could follow sometime this week once it has been dubbed in all languages.

    While many have shared some conspiracies on why exactly it has been delayed, it seems that work simply wasn’t quite finished on it. As these trailers are released worldwide nowadays, they have to ensure that most of the dubbing is also available at the time of its release.

    So, that may have delayed some aspects of the film, as they continue working on the trailer, especially as they also have to finish some VFX that are specially made for the early preview. With it being wrapped up, here’s hoping the wait is almost over. Luckily, Chopraa‘s post in his Instagram stories will at least give some hope that the wait isn’t as long as it once believed to be.

  • More ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Marvel Legends Leaks Offers Closer Look at Christian Bale’s Gorr

    More ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Marvel Legends Leaks Offers Closer Look at Christian Bale’s Gorr

    While we’re still waiting for any sign of life for the upcoming fourth entry of the Thor franchise titled Love and Thunder, merchandise dropped to offer our first look at the various additions to the franchise. We got our first look at Jane Foster’s transformation into Might Thor, and only a few hours ago the first look at Christian Bale‘s Gorr the God Butcher.

    While the toy itself only offered a glimpse of a very different interpretation of the character, the side covers of the Marel Legend collection have also leaked with our breast look yet, as provided by @lovethundernews. The line also includes Star-Lord’s updated design and even Thor’s rock-inspired outfit that seemingly has the Nine Realms printed on the shirt.

    There are some curious details with Gorr that stand out. He does have some seemingly scaly skin. So maybe we’ll see him transform throughout the film, as he becomes more and more inhuman as time goes on. His fingertips are also black, which could hint at some magic being involved with his ability. Who knows if it’s connected to Chaos magic as well.

    We know the Venom symbiote now exists in the MCU, but it seems unlikely that he’d already created the All-Black blade based on a little being from a different dimension. Speculation is going to be quite interesting going forward, as we get more from the upcoming release, which is still eyeing a July release without a trailer having been released so far.

  • ‘Thor: Love and Tunder’ Marvel Legends Wave Provides First Look at Gorr

    ‘Thor: Love and Tunder’ Marvel Legends Wave Provides First Look at Gorr

    Once again Marvel Studios has allowed the first good look of a character from an upcoming project to leak through collectibles. This time, fans get their first look at Gorr the God Butcher, who will be played by Christian Bale in this Summer’s Thor: Love and Thunder.

    The wave, which features 7 MCU-based characters and a Korg build-a-figure, gives fans their first detailed look at the villain as well as noting that Thor’s “Thunderstrike” costume will be referred to as “Ravager Thor.” It also features “King Valkyrie”, Star-Lord, Groot, Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor and the new Thor armor that has been present in much of the marketing for the film to date.

    From the wave, it seems that Bale’s Gorr will not be an exact adaptation of the character from the comics; in fact, the character seems to resemble the humanoid aliens from 2012′ Prometheus more so than his comic counterpart. Of course, it’s reasonable to assume that Gorr, like many MCU characters, could take on many forms over the course of the film, so this may not be his final look.

    Thor: Love and Thunder is set to strike theaters on July 8, 2022.

  • ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Kicks Off Press Tour With No Trailer in Sight

    ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Kicks Off Press Tour With No Trailer in Sight

    Well, this is awkward. We’ve all been wondering where exactly the trailer has been for Thor: Love and Thunder. The film isn’t that far away from release, yet there hasn’t been anything from the production. Marketing has changed quite a bit due to the pandemic, but it still has been catching people off guard. Yet, adding more to the confusion is the fact that its main actor Chris Hemsworth has shared a photo of him joined by director Taika Waititi and Tessa Thompson kicking off the film’s press tour.

  • ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Production Eyeing Reshoots in the Coming Weeks

    ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Production Eyeing Reshoots in the Coming Weeks

    Here’s some interestingly hidden information. Tucked away in The Wrap’s article on Disney’s John Carter box office bomb, there’s a brief statement on how Marvel Studios has made reshoots part of its production schedule no matter the project. In addition, they reveal that Taika Waititi‘s Thor: Love and Thunder is going back for additional photography in the next few weeks. There’s no word for how long but the timing is interesting considering it is still planning on releasing on July 8th.

    It’s not uncommon that reshoots have just a few months before the film releases, especially as we don’t know what exactly the scope is for the production. Marvel Studios has standardized this practice for all its films, as it gives them a chance to refocus or tighten up specific scenes. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also underwent reshoots to add scenes for characters that initially faced scheduling issues.

    There’s no mention of what or for how long Thor: Love and Thunder will undergo but we’ll have to see. There’s always a chance they are aiming to add some scenes or even refine action elements. These films also undergo testings that help the creative team get a feeling for what works for audiences and what doesn’t. Who knows if Waititi just had some fun ideas that he is dying to add into the film.

  • New Figure Provides a Detailed Look at Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor from ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

    New Figure Provides a Detailed Look at Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor from ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

    Marvel Studios continues to get beat to the punch in terms of costume reveals for their upcoming films. Recently, early looks at collectible figures have given fans detailed looks at the costumes of characters from upcoming films such as Eternals, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Now, a set of images has hit the internet, courtesy of Mephistu, that provides a very detailed look at Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor costume from the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.

    While this isn’t the first time fans have had a chance to glimpse Jane’s new look, the collectible, from S.H. Figuarts, is incredibly detailed even if the photos are a bit lo-res. The poseable figure not only comes with Mjlonir and a very cool looking blue lightning effect, it also seems to capture the moment in which Jane becomes Thor and Mjolnir is reforged! Set photos taken early in the film’s production seemed to tease the exact moment captured by the figure.

    Thor: Love and Thunder, which is now scheduled for a July 8, 2022 release, will see Natalie Portman return as Foster and team up with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor to take on Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale.

  • ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ May Feature ‘Black Panther’s Bastet

    ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ May Feature ‘Black Panther’s Bastet

    Thor: Love and Thunder will introduce Gorr the God Butcher, and it made us wonder just how many different pantheons we might get introduced to. Russell Crowe gave away that he was in the film as the Olympian ruler Zeus. Outside of our leading Norse gods, we don’t know much else even though the latest Moon Knight trailer did hint at the addition of the Egyptian pantheon in the form of Khonshu. Well, it seems a new rumor is to believe, we might even get to meet another familiar deity in the upcoming film, Bastet.

    A new listing on the site Showcast has started making the rounds, as Akosia Sabet included the upcoming Taika Waititi film in her filmography. What stands out, however, is that she also added her role as Bastet, the Panther Goddess that the Wakandans worship. We only briefly got a look at her in the opening credits to the first Black Panther film, where we revisited the history of the fictional nation. Hopefully, her inclusion does not mean she’ll meet up with Christian Bale‘s God Butcher but she could also become an ally to our heroes eventually in the film.

    There’s a lot of potential to further explore the mythology of the MCU, especially as many of the gods are, in fact, real. We’ll see just how they introduce them, as they could explore their history as other alien beings or even ones that live side-by-side with humans under a disguise, as the Eternals did in their own film. Perhaps we even get a short appearance of Khonshu or other Egyptian gods in the upcoming film. Either way, it’s an exciting prospect.

  • UPDATE: ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’s Tessa Thompson Talks Valkyrie’s Comic Powers

    UPDATE: ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’s Tessa Thompson Talks Valkyrie’s Comic Powers

    UPDATE: It turns out that the powers Tessa Thompson was describing in her interview with W Magazine weren’t for the Thor: Love and Thunder version of her character, but rather the comics. In an Instagram story, she offers some insight into what she was discussing in the interview and simply shares her excitement of the character’s comic abilities and backstory.

    In talking about Valkyrie to W Mag, I was talking generally about powers that are canon and that I loved in reading the comics and not Thor: Love and Thunder. I shan’t be a home for spoilers.

    There are quite a few exciting projects heading our way in 2022. Of course, all eyes are on May’s release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as it’ll continue what was set up in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Yet, Thor: Love and Thunder have been slowly teasing the new designs of Taika Waititi‘s next MCU entry which promise an even crazier fourth entry in the franchise. It’ll also see the return of Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie who’ll have a major role in the story. In a new interview with WMagazine, she reveals that her character might have a new and very powerful ability in the film:

    She has weird skills, to be honest. She can sense when someone is close to death, and she takes them into Valhalla, which is essentially the afterlife. She can revive people. But when she revives people, sometimes she ends up in their body. It’s a weird thing. It can be quite erotic. And then she has superhuman strength and is essentially God.

    Tessa Thompson

    That’s a curious ability that hasn’t truly been hinted at in Thor: Ragnarok. It’s an ability that fits what the Valkyries do in Norse mythology, but this ability might also be our first hint that they are staying true to Jane Foster’s transformation into the Mighty Thor. In the comics, she is fighting cancer before she gains the abilities.

    So, Valkyrie might be the one to figure out her real identity – if it’s a secret, to begin with – and connect the dots. Her being able to revive someone does make you wonder if someone might end up dying in the film only for her to bring them back. It opens some interesting questions about the upcoming fourth entry of the Thor franchise.

  • ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ First Full Look at Tessa Thompson’s New Valkyrie Suit

    ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ First Full Look at Tessa Thompson’s New Valkyrie Suit

    We finally entered 2022 and that means we have many new projects heading our way from Marvel Studios. While all eyes are on May’s release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we also have Thor: Love and Thunder following shortly after. The first fourth entry in an MCU franchise will continue where Thor’s story left off in Avengers: Endgame, while also furthering New Asgards’ residency on Earth. Tessa Thompson‘s Valkyrie has become their new leader and will get an outfit to highlight her position.

    We got a glimpse at it when a merchandise poster found its way online, but it seems that some photos have found their way online of Thompson showing off the new suit in all its glory. It includes many elements fans are familiar with from Thor’s costumes while including the white elements from her previous outfit. It’s certainly a suit worthy of a new generation of Asgardian royalty.

    It’s quite the upgrade from the previous film and it’ll be exciting to see where her character is heading once she makes her return as the new ruler of New Asgard. We might also see more of her in future entries of the MCU. So, this may simply act as her prelude to the new era of post-Endgame heroism.
