>Christian Bale is playing the main villain, Gorr. In this version, Gorr is an alien whose race was slaughtered by Hela. He blames the Asgardians and, after years of searching, retrieved the Necrosword to wipe them out.
>Thor is having intergalactic adventures with the Guardians of the Galaxy when Gorr attacks and wounds him, then announces that he will kill the remaining Asgardians on Earth. Thor goes there to protect them with Rocket and Groot.
>Thor can’t find Gorr, so he’s forced to ask Jane Foster for help. Gorr’s sword is powered by dark energy, and Jane might be able to trace it. Jane is now working for S.W.O.R.D., and director Abigail Brand is not happy when Thor shows up needing help.
>Thor, Jane and Brand go New Asgard, where they reunite with Valkyrie and time-displaced Loki, who ends up a prisoner there after whatever happens on his spinoff series. Along with Loki is a new time-displaced Mjolnir that doesn’t answer to Thor because it’s under a “different spell”.
>Gorr tricked Thor into leading him to New Asgard and destroys it with his army of “shadow berserkers”. During the chaos, Jane wields Mjolnir and fends off Gorr for the time being.
>Brand places the Asgardians under S.W.O.R.D.’s protection at an outpost near a small town in Oklahoma. Thor trains Jane to control Mjolnir and they reconnect. Valkyrie and Brand also develop a bond.
>Loki escapes and join forces with Gorr to use Jane’s research on dark energy and harness it through the Necrosword to defeat Thor. Dark energy has time-altering properties that Loki wants.
>All leads to major battle between Thor and Jane against Gorr across time and space, while Valkyrie and Brand lead the Asgardians and S.W.O.R.D. in battle against the Shadow Berserkers to defend humanity.
>During the battle, Rocket and Groot must deal with a dark energy singularity that Gorr creates before it consumes the planet, and Loki pursues his own agenda.
>Gorr will be mocap, but his pre-Necrosword form is going to be human-looking. The dark energy mutates him, and he becomes more monstrous as he absorbs more of it.
>Brand is the other major role left to cast, Marvel Studios is looking at actresses like Jodie Comer and Vanessa Kirby for the role since the character is supposed to appear in several movies like Nick Fury.
>Rocket and Groot are supporting characters, the rest of the Guardians (Star-Lord, Drax, Mantis and Nebula) are cameos. There’s some talks about having them join the final battle, but nothing final. Gamora won’t show up because her story is reserved for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
>Same comedic tone as Thor: Ragnarok. The idea is to leave the door open for Hemsworth and Portman to return for more, but also wrap up their character arcs in case they decide to stop after this.
>Gorr is going to kill either Korg or Miek during the attack on New Asgard. Waititi still hasn't decided on who (Korg would be more impactful, but he likes playing the character).
>Gorr is going to kill either Korg or Miek during the attack on New Asgard. Waititi still hasn't decided on who (Korg would be more impactful, but he likes playing the character). Neither of them will be impactful because they have about 5 minutes of combined screentime.
Justin Edwards
Sounds pretty straightforward and uncontroversial. Bet Thor and Jane get together again, too.
Isaac King
>Christian Bale is playing the main villain, Gorr Not playing Hercules If Taika Waikiti liked comics he would have chosen Bale to live Hercules, it would be perfect to see him alongside Chris Hemsworth, MCU is from bad to worse
Rainbow in the Dark is said to be the song of the film
Joshua Richardson
>>Same comedic tone as Thor: Ragnarok. I have never in my entire life hated any creative choice in all of entertainment history as much as I murderously hate Marvel for this evil fucking damn travesty.
I guess I finally understand why Superman fans hate the Dceu so much.
Fuck this world so much.
Adrian Ward
what are the chances of getting the megachad Knull in the mcu?
>Gorr is an alien whose race was slaughtered by Hela. Fucking villain conga-line.
Sebastian Parker
yeah, it was fine while watching it but later you realize how much you are being distracted from some shitty decisions.
plus that " I intentionally put a bad joke while Asgard is blown up "
Brandon Cooper
I mean, it makes sense in universe
Jace James
Have sex.
Gavin Adams
Taking things seriously doesn't sell with tbe current generation. Better wait until people get tired of irony and self awareness.
Asher Williams
What does getting laid have to do with having criticisms of film? Do you think professional movie critics are all virgins?
Mason Jenkins
If that was True then the mostly serious Star Wars films wouldn't sell, and Rogue One which was the most serious among them wouldn't be considered the best of them.
Levi Roberts
Thanks I hate it
Camden Bell
see you on opening day with your Thor popcorn bucket and Gorr-colored Icee
Hudson Robinson
>Rogue One which was the most serious among them wouldn't be considered the best of them.
It isn't.
Ethan Howard
So I guess Thor still has stormbringer?
John Harris
>Gorr fuck this fuck you fuck everything
Nicholas Martinez
It is among general fans and audiences. Pretentious far leftist critics like Last Jedi more.
Logan Young
I dunno, Ragnarok was the only Thor movie that was actually worth rewatching. The first two tried to do a more serious tone and they were dull as dishwater.
Also Hemsworth is a surprisingly good comedic actor, I definitely prefer his more jovial thor to the more serious one he was doing initially.
As long as the movie does leave room for more serious stuff, I don't mind the tone being light. Certainly they are going to be going for lighter movies after Infinity War and Endgame for a bit.
Jayden Allen
>Rogue One which was the most serious among them wouldn't be considered the best of them. only by default, it's still awful
Elijah Morris
His first 2 arcs were phenomenal.
Dominic Johnson
HA
If I didn't watch Avengers Endgame & Infinity War, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Spiderman, Antman 2 or Captain Marvel what makes you think I'm going to watch this?
Brayden Peterson
Do you have any kind of source for that?
Matthew Diaz
>The first two tried to do a more serious tone and they were dull as dishwater. The second movie being what it is can be blamed on studio interference
Logan Reyes
they were not, only worth writing home about for the art
Noah Lopez
>Thor goes there to protect them with Rocket and Groot. Similar to Tom H and RDJ, hollywood must really love putting them in the same room.
Hunter Cook
So people are lightheartedly getting killed all over the place. Like Three Stooges with swords?
Kayden Hernandez
>They are jokes compared to their comic book versions >They are fan-favorite now
Well, I guess I hate the MCU and its fans.
Gavin Sullivan
As a pretentious leftist, I can confirm at least the second half of what he's saying.
Kevin Perez
Thank you! Everyone loves Ragnarok for some reason and it's just technically awful. The characters will be walking in a direction, and the camera will shift and they'll have walked through a wall. Or someone will be a second away from impaling themself on a spear, and the camera will shift and they'll be fine. The whole thing was horribly shot in a "JJ Abrams for cinematographers" kind of way. No matter what happened visually, it didn't actually matter in the next scene, unless what happened was laid out in dialogue. Instead of "show, don't tell" It was "poorly show, then tell".
Ian Gray
> The first two tried to do a more serious tone STOP WITH THIS MOTHER FUCKING HISTORY REVISIONISM! THEY FACTUALLY DID NOT.
The universal complaints against them was the (non loki) comedy especially in 2 when it was interrupting the final battle.
NO ONE complained about them taking the threats or world building semi seriously.
And further problem was the romantic bullshit and the second being set on earth too much.
Nathaniel Lopez

Samuel Evans
>Gorr is going to kill either Korg or Miek during the attack on New Asgard. Fuck you.
Adrian Gomez
It's Gunn's fault! Waititi is just copying his style.
Sebastian Powell
>Mjolnir that doesn’t answer to Thor because it’s under a “different spell”. Won't this throw Thor back into depression territory? Mjolnir was part of how he got out of his depression funk in Endgame, and to be told later that you're not worthy might push some folk into suicide territory despite the under a different spell handwave
Nathaniel Jones
>Taking things seriously doesn't sell with tbe current generation. Better wait until people get tired of irony and self awareness. That's going to be a pretty damn long wait.
Jonathan Ramirez
>It's Gunn's fault! Seriously though, after GOTG 1 had so much success, that's when the quips and jokes went overboard became common among almost all movies. If we exclude IW, only the capt movies remained serious.
Jonathan Miller
Might just happen
Kayden Morales
Do you have any source for this or are fanfictioning?
Levi Jenkins
I don’t mind jovial lighthearted Thor, I just think there’s a time and place for it yet Ragnarök has him like that right after his father died, big sis destroyed his hammer, and all his friends are being slaughtered back on Asgard.
Logan Gomez
he'll probably make a quip about it saying "meh, I have the better weapon anyways" and it'll be brushed off.
Brandon Miller
Damn Gorr isn’t a character that should be done comedically.
Julian Rogers
Does he at lest keep Stormbreaker while Jane has mjolnir?
Bentley Davis
I think this would have been more fun if they used Mangog instead as the main villain
Lincoln Myers
that's probably the root that they're going.
Joshua Murphy
Yeah they're probably setting up Jane to appear later on in New Avengers stuff as Earth-Thor wielding Mjolnir. And Thor will be Space-Thor off with the Guardians, iirc Gunn already said Thor's gonna be in GotG3 so it sounds like at the end of this movie he'll just have the Milano pick him back up. Cause I mean even if Thor DIDNT go back to space, Rocket and Groot will still need them to come back for em.
So get ready for the New Avengers line up
