Marvel just released the very first look at the highly anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder.
The first trailer for the upcoming superhero movie dropped Monday, teasing the return of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the hammer-wielding hero.
Set to Guns' N Roses' "Sweet Child' O Mine," the trailer begins with Thor's quest for self-discovery.
"These hands were once used for battle, now they're but humble tools for peace," he says as he puts aside his new hammer, Stormbreaker, and watches an intergalactic sunset. "Now, I need to figure out exactly who I am."
After a weight-loss training montage and a new outfit, Thor leaves the Guardians of the Galaxy behind to find his path. He claims his superhero days are over and sets off with Korg across the galaxy. The teaser shows brief glimpses of Thompson's Valkyrie ruling over New Asgard as its king, a lightning-bolt-wielding man likely Russell Crowe as the Greek god Zeus, and Thor on a pirate ship kissing an unknown woman.
Capping off the teaser, Portman calls down Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, which is now magically pieced back together and debuts her comic-accurate Mighty Thor costume.
Directed by Oscar-winner Taika Waititi, the movie finds the Asgard native on a quest for inner peace. But despite this spiritual journey, bad things are afoot in the galaxy as Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale, is coming to power. The Butcher wants to wipe out all gods. There goes Thor'sretirement.
"Thor: Love and Thunder" premieres in theaters July 8.
