Cast of Thor: Love and Thunder

However, that's not where the big names end – in true MCU style, there are cameos aplenty in the new movie. But who, exactly, makes an appearance? Well, we've ...

She had two top-five hits in Australia: "She's Got To Be Love" and "Break in the Weather". Idris Elba returns as Thor's good friend Heimdall, the all-seeing former guard of Asgard's Bifrost Bridge. Heimdall was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, but he appears in Thor: Love and Thunder's post-credits scene to welcome Jane to Valhalla. His legacy lives on, however – his son, Axl, who has inherited his father's abilities, helps Thor and co. The Thor: Love and Thunder post-credits scenes show Zeus plotting revenge on Thor for humiliating him and nearly killing him during the meeting at Omnipotence City – and he wants his son, Hercules, to do it. Thor takes her back to New Asgard. She appeared in Thor and Thor: The Dark World, and was killed by Thanos' snap in Avengers: Infinity War. It's her death in the movie's opening scene that starts Gorr on his god-killing frenzy, and he ultimately uses his one wish at Eternity to bring her back to life. When Thor asks for his help to take on Gorr, the God Butcher, Zeus refuses and tries to hold them as prisoners. A fight ensues, and Thor appears to kill Zeus before stealing his lightning bolt and escaping with the others. He has a brief appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder when he video calls Jane after her chemotherapy treatment to say he hasn't had any breakthroughs in the lab when it comes to helping her fight her Stage 4 cancer. He previously directed McCarthy in movies like Thunder Force, Tammy, and The Boss. The play recounts the events of Thor: Ragnarok, when Hela tried to seize control of Asgard. Dr. Erik Selvig was formerly a professor of theoretical astrophysics at Culver University and a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers. A renowned scientist and colleague of Jane Foster's father, he took Jane under his wing at the university and worked alongside her. Kat Dennings returns as Dr. Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster's assistant at Culver University in Thor and Thor: The Dark World. Darcy's last MCU appearance was in WandaVision, when S.H.I.E.L.D. hired her to investigate the supernatural phenomenon occurring in Westview thanks to Wanda's magic.

The God of Thunder and one of the most veteran heroes in the MCU is back for another classic Thor adventure. Chris Hemsworth has settled into this iteration of ...

Thor: Love and Thunder stretches across the cosmos and gives a look at a wide variety of cosmic characters. This is a big moment for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hercules has long played an important role in Marvel Comics as a contemporary of Thor and even a member of the Avengers. After being convinced otherwise and realizing he has little time left, Gorr wishes for the return of his daughter who he lost in his plight. Korg describes her as "a child born from Eternity". Nicknamed Love, Thor vows to look after Love in honor of losing his love, Jane Foster. In Thor: Love and Thunder, Eternity is a being that, when reached, grants a wish to those capable of reaching its doorstep. After New Asgard is attacked and the children kidnapped, both Damon and Hemsworth approach King Valkyrie with what they believe is a request of the utmost importance. In a show of trust, the God of Thunder imbues the power of Thor in every single one of them for a shadow monster vs. Many fans believed that the Guardians' appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder would act as a stepping stone between where they left off in Avengers: Endgame to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Korg is a great example of a true supporting character receiving dedicated attention in the story to bring the heart into the experience. Much like Ragnarok, Love and Thunder bring a team vibe that keeps Valkyrie in the mix throughout most of the movie. The main antagonist of Thor: Love and Thunder opens the film with a cold open backstory. Not a ton of movement for Thompson's character up or down, but Valkyrie remains a crucial fixture in the Thor franchise.

And here's what she looked like when she first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And previously, he portrayed Viago in 2014's What We Do in the Shadows. And one of the characters he's best-known for is Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious franchise that's been going strong for over 20 years. In 2013, he brought the character of Diaz to life in Riddick alongside his eventual Guardians of the Galaxy costar, Vin Diesel. And here's what he looked like when the first Thor movie came out in 2011. Chris Hemsworth is back again as the hammer-wielding God of Thunder in the latest MCU installment.

Thor: Love and Thunder turned out to be a family affair for the Hemsworth family with Chris Hemsworth's daughter India Rose Hemsworth playing a major role.

After Gorr uses his wish to bring her back, he gets to enjoy one final moment with her before he dies. We’re first introduced to the character in the opening scene of the film, as we see Gorr and his daughter stumbling through a desert-like environment with no signs of life, water or food anywhere to be seen. When he confronts the god, he mocks Gorr’s faith which leads him to take on the Necrosword and become Gorr, Butcher of Gods.

Let's explain those "Thor: Love & Thunder" end credits scenes, with spoilers and background info aplenty.

The other credits scene is a warm coda to the Jane Foster story. If there are other afterlife destinations in the MCU, might she rather be somewhere she knows more people, animals or whatever? The first reveals Zeus ( Russell Crowe) was not, in fact, killed by Thor ( Chris Hemsworth). His godly pride seems to be the most injured part of him. Hercules also has a long and storied history ... in Marvel Comics. Judging from previous stories in which Zeus was moved to fits of pique ... what could possibly go wrong? He has gone mano a man-god with Hulk a few times.

Thor: Love and Thunder's announced cast was quite stacked but Marvel still managed to feature more than a few high profile cameos.

But while his cameo is short, maybe Love and Thunder is setting up for more Beale in the future. In the scene, he welcomes the late Jane Foster to Valhalla, potentially setting her up for her next great adventure. He appears in the film’s final scene, during the end credits. Goldstein’s appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder is incredibly short. Luke Hemsworth wasn’t the only relative to make the Thor: Love and Thunder cut. Pataky and Chris’s daughter, India, plays Gorr’s daughter, while one of their sons, Tristan, plays a young Thor. But that’s not all, Hemsworth’s other son, Sasha, as well as Taika Waititi, Natalie Portman, and Christian Bale’s kids, also appear in the film. In fact, the film boasts a whole lot of relatives in general. It’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment but one we can certainly add to the ever-growing list of projects the two have worked on. There’s nary a Tom Hiddleston sighting in the whole film. And, she encourages the astrophysicist to give a certain ex a call. Here are all the cameos from Thor: Love and Thunder. But it seems as though she’s still as loyal to her mentor, Jane. She accompanies Jane to chemo appointments, snacks in tow, as one of the few people in Jane’s life who knows what is happening.

The film's cast includes Christian Bale as Gorr and also stars director Taika Waititi, Tessa Thompson, Russell Crowe and Luke Hemsworth among others. SEE: Who ...

However, the father of three quelled fans’ further expectations of seeing his kids act, stating: “I don’t want them to now go and be child stars and actors. Hence, Thor: Love and Thunder is clearly a family affair. He later stumbles upon a sanctuary, only to find the god feasting with no concern about the world. The Marvel film is one of 2022’s most-awaited movies. They had a great time”. He gets one final moment with her before passing away.

While they are captivating in their details, designs, and cultural inclusivity, the blink-and-you'll-miss-them nature of this sequence speaks to the slapdash approach that makes the film deeply frustrating, as it is littered with wasted opportunities. In the end, Love and Thunder is raucous, flashy, and vacuous, not satisfyingly fun. The storytelling is lazy and bumbling, which makes the emotional beats feel clumsy. But best of all is when he turns into a kids' show host from hell, decapitating a snake creature to use it as a puppet to terrorize the children he's abducted. There must be room, after all, to watch the dull flashbacks of Jane and Thor's tepid isolation of affections. Sadly, Crowe is not given a ton to do in his first MCU outing. Thor: Love and Thunder is a mess that can't make sense of what matters. In a dank cage on the dark side of the universe, Bale brings color and a twisted hint of a loving dad whose soul has been mutilated by grief. But while a bunch of the characters we've loved return for this fourth installment, the thrill is gone. Here, that sexual spark is dulled, even though — as trailers teased — Hemsworth gets naked and Jane has a sexy new look. Meanwhile, Jane is enduring an arc all about mortality and disease plucked straight from the comic books. Blonde, buff, and clad in Viking armor, Jane is now known as Mighty Thor, and she can kick all kinds of monster butt.
