The battle with Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love & Thunder set up a multitude of characters to join the MCU. Like the Phase 4 movies before it, the fourth installment in the Thor franchise laid the groundwork for more stories from Marvel Comics to be told in the years to come.

Shortly after introducing the Egyptian gods in Moon Knight, Marvel greatly deepened its lineup of gods with Thor: Love and Thunder by introducing a villain bent on killing every divine being in the universe. Thor’s visit to Omnipotent City, which was made in an effort to stop Gorr, allowed Marvel to provide audiences with a small taste of the different gods that populate Marvel’s world.
