A new Thor: Love and Thunder art image gives audiences another look at Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher, and highlights the character’s menacing weapon. Continuing the story of the MCU’s God of Thunder, the film is the highly anticipated fourth installment in the Thor series. Thor: Love and Thunder is helmed by the returning Taika Waititi, who also directed Thor: Ragnarok, and his film is next in the queue to hit theaters after next month's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, releasing on July 8.
The latest Thor film is set to follow on from the events of Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame, which saw the destruction of Asgard, and the creation of New Asgard on Earth. It will introduce Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher as the film’s main villain, who, as his name suggests, considers all gods to be his enemies. In the comic-book source material, the character wields the mighty weapon All-Black the Necrosword, which grants him terrifying abilities. The weapon has a rich and detailed history, forged from the skull of a celestial, and was even used by Thor to battle Galactus.
