Thor: Love and Thunder, all you need to know
Thor
After Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the new chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be dedicated to the God of Thunder, Thor, again played by Chris Hemsworth. Fourth solo film dedicated to the Asgardian after Thor, Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder will be a direct emanation of the events that affected the Avenger following Avengers: Endgame, a moment in which we were able to appreciate a touching emotional characterization of the character. At the time, critics focused mainly on Thor's Dude aspect, perfect material for memes and mockery among friends, losing sight of the long and accurate emotional definition of the character, which seems to be central to Thor: Love And Thunder.Subscribe now to Disney + for € 8.99 per month or € 89.90 per year The announcement of the fourth film dedicated to the God of Thunder immediately established itself as one of the most anticipated titles of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to the return of a particularly loved and mysteriously overlooked character in the last chapters of the Avengers saga, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). The previous productions linked to Phase Four of the MCU have shown how within the ideas of Marvel Studios there is the will to experiment by moving towards new narrative directions, offering not only space for new characters (such as Moon Knight or Ms. Marvel), but while also giving familiar faces from the franchise a new depth.

| ); }This feeling of danger constant is not only the prerogative of the common man, but has also been extended to superheroes, who found themselves having to face challenges that are not only superheroic, but also more earthly and intimate. From the discovery of the complicated duality of the superhero's life emphasized by Spider-Man: No Way Home to the detachment and necessary reunion with more everyday problems, as presented in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. The common thread of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be not only a search for a different narrative dimension, identified in the potential of the multiverse, but also a more focused and intimate portrait of the old protagonists of the franchise. An analysis that is now being extended to Thor.
Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Thinking back to Thor's life within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it would be easy to limit oneself to the more playful aspect of the 'Asgardian. In his first appearance he was gigionesque, he aimed at the construction of an irony based on the profound difference between earthly life and that of an alien from a world of gods. Thor's presence on Earth was initially seen as a kind of punishment for his arrogance, his excessive boldness in being the designated successor of Odine, the Father of All, lord of Asgard. From this first encounter with a different reality, the human one, Thor begins a personal path of growth, which leads him to lose his arrogance, pushing him to assume a role more worthy of his lineage.The encounter with the other heroes of the Earth and the subsequent formation of the Avegners represents the starting point of this maturation. The meeting with Jane Foster, a human capable of making the God of Thunder fall in love, is a further emotionally important step for Thor, who soon finds himself having to face an epochal challenge: the end of his own world. The premonitory vision experienced during Wanda Maximoff's mental intrusion in Avengers: Age of Ultron was the first hint of a looming threat to Thor, who following the events of Thor: Ragnarok witnessed the end of his own world, a death of which he was deliberated to do, choosing to free the demon Surtur to stop his sister Hela (Cate Blanchett).
Thor: Love and Thunder teaser trailer When we find him five years after the snap of Thanos' fingers, Thor has led the few Asgardians left to Earth, creating the village of New Asgard . Although nominally their king, it is Valkyria (Tessa Thompson) who holds these people together, as the God of Thunder has decided to close himself off to the world, suffocated by his pain. The Fat Thor we see is not a comic character, or rather he is also comic, but he is a suffering figure, who has chosen to detach himself completely from his previous life, preferring to remember his great exploits as a protection, a negation of his greatest failure. In his inner fall, Thor becomes human, he approaches mortal condition as never before, with the fallibility of him. An emotional state from which he is healed by his mother Frigga (Renè Russo), when traveling back in time he manages to recover the Reality Gem and its Mjolnir.
