Unlock the Ultimate MCU Power Ranking: Which Marvel Movie Truly Packs a Knockout Punch?
If you loved Thor: Ragnarok (more on that one in a bit), than you’ll probably have a good time with Thor: Love and Thunder. The fourth solo adventure for the God of Thunder that Korg (played by writer/director Taika Waititi) calls the “Space Viking,” Love and Thunder tells a story of not one but two Thors. Thor Odinson, yes, but we also discover that Jane Foster—a returning Natalie Portman—has now taken up the mantle in New Asgard while the OG Thor was busy gallavanting with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The movie maintains the light, whimsical tone of Ragnarok, while the darker story centered on the villainous Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) kind of looks and feels like sequences out of an art-horror movie of the 2010s. The movie can be a mostly fun time, but can’t help but feel a little bit like trying to replicate the magic that came organically to Ragnarok.
MCU understanding needed? You’ll know exactly where Thor left off if you watch Avengers: Endgame. You don’t need to watch anything else, but Ragnarok would be a good call if you want to get a handle on the tone that Hemsworth and Waititi have taken on, and Thor and Thor: The Dark World are both obvious picks just to get to know the character and his history a bit.
