Love & Thunder Trailer Supports Ancient Thor vs Gorr Battle Theory
The Thor: Love and Thunder trailer supports the theory that Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) fought in the MCU’s ancient history.

In the comics, Gorr and Thor knew each other long before the modern era. In fact, the two had a one-on-one battle hundreds of years ago.
