The main production wrapped up principal photography back in June 2021 and has been doing effects and other work since then.
We had the first teaser trailer and promotional poster back in late April. which gave us Chris Hemsworth’s Thor with the tag “The One and Only” poster as well as a Jane Foster poster. With the Doctor Strange promotion starting to wind down a bit more, it’s time to ramp up more with this film to start seeding the next couple of months and that gives us our first formal trailer, but our second look after the teaser.

Plot Concept: The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.
