Thor: Love and Thunder plot

Following Avengers: Endgame, Thor named Valkyrie as the King of New Asgard. Since then, there have been hits that Thor will join the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy so we could see the God of Thunder in some galactic adventures.

Inspiration from Thor: Love and Thunder came from the comic The Mighty Thor which introduces a female Thor for the first time in the character's history.

There is no trailer for the film as of yet, and it is expected to be released around three or four months before the movie hits cinemas.

All fans have to enjoy for the moment is the Thor: Love and Thunder logo (above) that was unveiled at last year's SDCC.
