Taika Waititi returns to the hammer he reinvented in Thor: Ragnarok for a 2022 sequel that pushes the God of Thunder toward romance, grief and a villain built entirely out of loss.

What is Thor: Love and Thunder about?

Gorr the God Butcher has taken up a weapon capable of killing gods and set out to end them one by one, and Thor finds himself pulled back into a fight he thought he had left behind. He reaches out to old allies — Valkyrie, now ruling New Asgard, the rock-warrior Korg, and his former partner Jane Foster, who has her own unexpected claim to Thor's power — to build a defense against Gorr before he reaches New Asgard's children. Chris Hemsworth returns opposite Christian Bale as Gorr, with the story balancing cosmic stakes against a more personal reckoning between Thor and Jane that runs through the film's 119 minutes.

About the cast

Chris Hemsworth stars as Thor, with Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe, Natalie Portman and Chris Pratt filling out an ensemble that spans several corners of the wider franchise.

Context & significance

Waititi both directs and appears in the film, continuing the tonal shift he brought to the character in his previous outing — comedy sitting alongside genuine loss, with Gorr's arc grounding the film's brighter set pieces. Genres listed span action, adventure, comedy, science fiction and the superhero label proper, and the production draws on a large ensemble cast pulled from across the broader Marvel universe. Set primarily among the stars and New Asgard rather than Earth, the film leans on vivid, near-monochrome sequences for Gorr's Shadow Realm that stand apart visually from the rest of the story.
