Three years later Endgamefive films and six series have passed the hand to perpetuate phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is therefore with Thor: Love and Thunder by Taika Waititi that these adventures will continue. Promotion for the film has just begun to pick up speed. In the first trailer, we witness a Thor a little introspective about his life, ready to definitively withdraw and let someone else take his place. In the very last moments of the trailer, we get our first glimpse of Jane Foster in Mighty Thorwho wields a Mjolnir totally reforged since its destruction in Ragnarok.
Given the fact that Love and Thunder is already the fourth film of Chris Hemsworth, many wondered if it was the last feature film of the actor in the skin of the God of Thunder. And who better to replace him than Jane Foster ? In an interview with Total Movie, Taika Waititithe New Zealand director of the film responded to these speculations, saying: “I don’t think that’s the case” – quote in detail:
“And also, it’s really fun, the idea that Thor [a] got Stormbreaker, that big axe, and now his hammer is back and he’s in someone else’s hands. It’s not his hammer anymore. It’s the idea of ​​someone taking his place. I think a lot of fans are going to potentially assume, “Oh, OK, it’s the passing of the torch”… I’m not aware of any Marvel plans for the future, but I don’t think that’s the case . »
Rumors of the passing of the torch, however, remain credible as long Marvel seems determined to put forward new faces as in Hawkeyewhere Clint Barton train the young Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). Thor: Love and Thunder arrive on July 13, 2022 At the movie theater.
