It’s been a long, strange trip for Marvel’s Asgardian God of Thunder. What started as a fish-out-of-water adventure with Shakespearean overtones in 2011’s Thor jack-knifed into one of the MCU’s most bawdily hilarious and visually inventive yarns. All it took was for somebody somebody – specifically writer-director Taika Waititi – to realise ‘hey, maybe a bro-y space warrior who rides around on rainbows, throws a big hammer and drinks like a Viking should be played for laughs.’ Ever since Thor: Ragnarok emerged from the Devil’s Anus and embraced the comedic superpowers of swole Aussie demigod Chris Hemsworth, the franchise hasn’t looked back.
Now, following a stint with crippling depression, a lost eyeball, the death of his entire family and a whole lot of time cosplaying The Big Lebowski in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Hemsworth is back to his galactic shenanigans with the hotly anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder. The film promises to up the ante on the chaos of Ragnarok – no small feat considering the film’s glorious amalgam of Flash Gordon, pinball-machine art and Heavy Metal. Here’s what we know about Marvel’s next voyage to the cosmos.
