Love & Thunder Theory Reveals Thor Joins His FIFTH MCU Team
It's possible Thor: Love & Thunder will see Thor join his fifth MCU team — the so-called "God Squad." There's a sense in which Thor Odinson has become the greatest team player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For untold centuries, he worked alongside Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, before becoming a member of the OG Avengers on Earth. Thor: Ragnarok saw him christen a new team "the Revengers," and by the end of Avengers: Endgame, Thor seemed to be joining the Guardians of the Galaxy. Merchandise for Thor: Love & Thunder suggests he'll wind up working with a wider group instead, the Ravagers.
Marvel Studios recently released an official synopsis for Thor: Love & Thunder hinting at a new alliance. According to this summary, Thor attempts to retire from life as both a god and a superhero, but he's called back into action by the rampage of Gorr the God-Butcher. To combat the threat, Thor Odinson will seek the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and even his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who has been transformed into 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."

It's possible this film will introduce the MCU's version of the "God Squad."
Marvel's first pantheon was introduced back in 2011's Thor, but back then the studio's decision-makers feared viewers wouldn't react well to gods and the supernatural.
