Marvel fans rejoice! The highly anticipated first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder has finally arrived. At the start of the teaser, the titular character (Chris Hemsworth) can be heard reflecting on his journey as an Asgardian hero. “These hands were once used for battle.
Now they’re but humble tools for peace,” he said. “I need to figure out exactly who I am.” As the trailer progresses, new clips show the thunder god taking a more zen approach to life, leading to him stating: “My superhero-ing days are over.” The film is also set to feature other MCU characters, including the Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor’s former love interest Jane Foster as Mighty Thor.
But one of the best moments from the trailer was the first sneak peek of Tessa Thompson’s beloved queer character Valkyrie. In the short clip, the fierce warrior is seen in a modernised New Asgard.
Although not much is known about her exact role in the story, it has been confirmed that the film will explore Valkyrie’s sexuality.
