Thor: Love and Thunder hasn’t even started filming yet, but that won’t deter people utilizing their creative talents to envision how the finished film might look. As such, a new fan trailer has imagined the storytelling tone the movie might take.
The main selling point of the Odinson’s fourth solo outing is the return of Natalie Portman and the re-introduction of Jane Foster, along with the story somehow seeing her appropriate the Thunder God’s powers and rise as Mighty Thor. Exactly how or why is yet to be alluded to in any official statement, but in the trailer’s judicious use of footage from Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Endgame, it suggests that it has something to do with her bonding with the Aether in the former, perhaps some residue of its reality-warping power still remaining within her.
Thor and The Dark World largely utilized Jane as a plot device rather than a full character in her own right, and as such don’t feature an abundance of moments where she looks the part of the indomitable badass the new installment will feature her as. To fill in the gaps, several of the trailer’s shots are taken from lackluster and misogynistic fantasy comedy Your Highness, in which her vengeance-driven warrior Isabel was the most competent and interesting character in it. There are also a couple of shots from trippy sci-fi horror Annihilation, in which Portman starred with Valkyrie’s Tessa Thompson, suggesting some screen time between the two characters who have yet to meet in the movies.
Like Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder will also have Taika Waititi at the helm, so we can likely expect a similar mix of pathos and deadpan humor, and the addition of Portman as Mighty Thor will doubtless take the series in a new and interesting direction.
