Thor: Love & Thunder Reviews Say MCU Sequel Delivers On Comedy & Heart
Early reviews for Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder are starting to roll in, as Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder makes his latest return to the MCU. Following the end of Marvel's Infinity Saga, a handful of the original Avengers have left the ever-growing MCU. Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark is no more as Iron Man sacrificed himself in Avengers: Endgame, while Chris Evans' Steve Rogers retired as Captain America, paving the way for Sam Wilson to take up the mantle. However, the remaining member of the original trinity is making his way back to the franchise with Hemsworth reprising his role in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Having directed Thor: Ragnarok, Waititi is back in the director's chair for the latest Thor story. While Phase 4 has been focussing heavily on the MCU multiverse in recent films, Thor: Love and Thunder will be diverting from this narrative. While not meant to serve as the start of a new Thor trilogy, Thor: Love and Thunder follow the Asgardian Avenger coping with a mid-life crisis after the war against Thanos. For his latest enemy, Thor will be going up against Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) with the help of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Jane Foster/Mighty Thor (Natalie Portman), Korg (Waititi) and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
