Thor: Love & Thunder broke an MCU record before it even debuted, albeit one that’s not worth celebrating. Thor 4 will see the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder in what will be the second Thor movie helmed by Taika Waititi, and the fourth in the series overall. After Thor: Ragnarok reinvented the character and both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame pushed Thor to his limits, Love & Thunder has a mission to take the hero on a new journey.
Thor 4 will also see Natalie Portman return to the Thor franchise, except this time as a version of Thor herself. While it's still unknown if Portman will be playing the same Jane Foster from previous films or a variant, the Oscar-winning actress will lift the mighty Mjolnir and have her own super-suit. The film will also feature the return of Ragnarok characters such as Valkyrie—now the new ruler of Asgard—as well as Thor's new friends, the Guardians of the Galaxy. Two new additions to the MCU, Christian Bale, and Russell Crowe will also be in the film as Gorr and Zeus.
