Which MCU Movies To Rewatch Before Thor: Love & Thunder

Here are all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies viewers should see before watching Thor: Love and Thunder. For all of the attention that Phase 4's multiverse story has received, another major storyline is Chris Hemsworth returning for a fourth solo movie, which is an MCU record. The god of thunder is back in Thor: Love and Thunder to make his seventh appearance overall — or eight if his post-credits appearance in Doctor Strange is counted.

Thor's return in Phase 4 is set to be one of his biggest movies in the entire phase, though. Thor: Love and Thunder is not connected to the larger multiverse storyline that Marvel Studios is quickly building, and it is similarly disconnected from the apparent Young Avengers build-up taking place too. It instead serves as the potential beginning to MCU Phase 4's cosmic stories, which will go on to include Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels. As a result, Thor: Love and Thunder is expected to play a pivotal role in setting up what else is to come, especially with the Guardians of the Galaxy involved. The movie, which is directed by Taika Waititi, is not strongly connected to what else has come in Phase 4 and instead focuses on continuing Chris Hemsworth's journey as Thor.
