Could this work? Might it not? Are we being deliberately led somewhere different with this teaser? Again? Maaaarvel! What is this creativity!

This time around, Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder finds the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) on a new journey, and one that’s unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. However, his change of heart is disrupted by galactic killer Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who is here to make the gods extinct, you think he’d be more subtle with his name…

So with Thor under threat, our Hemsworthor brings forth the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), the rocky and robust mighty Korg (Taika Waititi) and none other than Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who now inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. How? I don’t know but am I intrigued? Yes, I am.

Directed by Taika Waititi, and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, it comes to cinemas from 8 July! Here’s that trailer…
