Why Thor: Love & Thunder's Trailer Uses A Guns N' Roses Song
After much anticipation, Marvel has finally released the first teaser trailer for Thor: Love & Thunder, and the Guns N' Roses song chosen to accompany it fits the hero's newest journey perfectly. Thor is unique among the current MCU lineup, as he was introduced alongside Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and many other Phase 1 heroes, whose numbers are dwindling following the conclusion of the Infinity Saga. Thor has prevailed and only grown in popularity, now becoming the first Marvel Studios hero to lead four different standalone films.
The Thor: Love & Thunder trailer shows that the strongest Avengers' upcoming adventure will be his most personal to date. After the death of his parents, brother, sister, the Warriors Three, Heimdall, and the events of the snap, Thor has come to rethink who he is. The depression and weight gain he faced in Avengers: Endgame, being dubbed 'Fat Thor,' due to the guilt he felt at not killing Thanos, haunted him for a time, but he seems to have found new motivation and purpose in Love & Thunder.

Taika Waititi returns to direct his second MCU film, continuing on from his transformative work on Thor: Ragnarok. Waititi's influence on Thor, both the films and the character, cannot be understated. He put his stamp on the franchise by injecting fun and color, as well as the use of Led Zeppelin's ''Immigrant Song'' in Ragnarok, changing the style of the movies vastly from Thor: The Dark World. Waititi continues this styling through to Thor: Love & Thunder's trailer, shown by the use of one particular Guns N' Roses song, which could hint at Thor's journey in the film.
