Thor: Love and Thunder is the 2022 Marvel Studios feature film based on the comic book character of the same name. It is fourth in the Thor film series, and follows Thor: Ragnarok as well as Avengers: Endgame.
The movie adapts Jason Aaron's Godess of Thunder and Who Holds the Hammer story arcs from the comics, in which Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) takes up the mantle of Thor. Chris Hemsworth returns as the wandering Asgardian who has previously been demoralized by seeing his Mjolnir hammer destroyed, his kingdom fallen (both occurred in Ragnarok) and his failures to stop Thanos (Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame).
Christian Bale joins the cast as Gorr the God Butcher, an alien being with a sword of power who wants to destroy all gods.
Russell Crowe also joins as the Greek god Zeus. Tessa Thompson, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan are all confirmed to be reprising their MCU roles. Jaimie Alexander is returning as Sif. Appearing in cameos are Matt Damon, Luke Hemsworth, Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone.
Taiki Waititi, who directed the crowd-pleasing Thor Ragnarok, is set to direct.
