Thor: Love and Thunder
Release date: July 8, 2022
What it’s about: Thor teams up with Valkyrie, Gorr, and the Mighty Thor (aka Jane Foster) to take down the God Killer, Gorr.
Major new characters introduced (but not killed): Zeus, Hercules, Love.
Major new concepts introduced: Thor now has an adopted daughter, Zeus and Hercules want revenge on Thor, a whole new group of Asgardian kids may have powers, Valhalla exists, and there’s a place called Eternity that can grant any wish.
Analysis: More so than most Phase Four movies, Love and Thunder clearly sets up a sequel, with Thor and his adopted daughter, Love, teaming up and the gods now after him. But, as the film is still relatively new, there’s no word on when any of that will come back.
Running Total: Only going to count the three here because a few others die, so that brings it to 59.
