Thor: Love and Thunder plot

With the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and Jane Foster, Thor must combat the threat of Gorr the God Butcher, who wants to see the gods extinct.

“Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late,” according to IMDB.

Director Taikia Waititi said the film is “about love,” telling Empire: “I wanted to embrace this thing that I was always a bit dismissive of, and explore this idea of love, and show characters who do believe in love.

“On paper, it feels kind of cringy to me, but there’s a way of doing it with cool characters making a cool movie, and also having a thing that no fan ever wants in a superhero movie, which is people talking about love, and characters kissing.”
