1) Thor: Love and Thunder
Thor: Love and Thunder is the upcoming installation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, releasing in theatres on July 7, 2022.
The film has already attracted a lot of attention because of the introduction of the female god of thunder, played by none other than Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, the ex-girlfriend of Thor Odinson.
Thor: Love and Thunder is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame where Thor departs on a journey to find inner peace and understand his true purpose. But his quest for inner peace is cut short by Gorr the God Butcher. Gorr has vowed to kill all the gods after his family was killed and his pleas of help fell on deaf ears. Disillusioned, he realised that gods only cared about themselves.
Thor recruits Valkyrie, Korg and Jane Foster, who now dons the mantle of the God of Thunder and wields the Mjolnir. The team sets out on an intergalactic adventure to stop Gorr's plan.
