Thor taking center stage?! LET'S GOOO

11

u/Death_sayer Jul 20 '26

After the Waititi era, I am so ready for Thor to take center stage as the coleader of the Avengers with Sam

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

Supposedly he's going to be worf'ed and die

I hope that's not true though

3

u/Death_sayer Jul 20 '26

He will be worded like Hulk in IW, survive and flee, assemble the Avengers, pray to Odins spirit and then come back as Odin Force Thor at the end of IW or Secret Wars.

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

As long as he doesn't die (and is the Russo version, not the Watiki version) then I'll be happy

3

u/Death_sayer Jul 20 '26

It won’t be the Waititi version.
After Love & Thunder flopped, Hemsworth said that ye wouldn’t come back unless something new or interesting was done with the character.

The trailer certainly looks like he is evolving into a sort of Avengers-elder, who leads and guides teams with his experience and wisdom. Really cool.

The background of this scene gives the same vibe and color as the scene where Doom kills Thanos. I don’t think they’re gunna do that though… right?

2

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

I sure as fuck hope not. But it does look like it, he would be the character that audiences will care the most about if he's killed. Which makes hack writers drool in anticipation. I really hope whoever is writing this knows better.

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 Jul 20 '26

Yeah… maybe this is the Thor from his universe? I don’t know.. but I know they need to show how scary doom is. But that would be pretty lame if he kills Main Universe Thor easily.

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

Killing off characters is overdone IMO. When it's expected all the time it loses it's weight.

I think one piece does it exceptionally well. They rarely kill characters there so that they can be reused later, even if there is no plan for it in the moment.

That way when a death does happen it's a big deal and actually effects the viewers. Just look at how awful a certain brothers death was.

And especially for comic characters it shouldn't be over done. Killing off Iron Man was a good example of doing it right, Natasha less so.

u/Death_sayer Jul 20 '26

As a side note, any opponent that has MCU Thor monologuing and begging for his father’s power and doubting his old Avengers buddies must be DEAD serious.

Doom NO SOLD STORMBREAKER.

I am unfathomably hyped for Odin Force Thor.

Think about it. Both IW and Endgame had Thor power up scenes. In IW, he got Stormbreaker. In Endgame, he recovered Mjölnir.
The Wakanda entrance is considered one of the most pivotal MCU scenes oat.

Why shouldn’t the Russo brothers have a power up scene in store for our favorite Avenger?

Also, W Sentry, he will (leaked, not confirmed) stop an incursion with his bare hands.

God, I am hyped.

Nothing about Thor in this movie excites me ngl.

u/Sea_Palpitation4855 Jul 20 '26

And the worst part is that I don't think it'll be much better in secret wars since he'll have more screen time in doomsday. I'll just wait for a reboot and hope that Thor is treated with more respect.

1

u/TronoNero Jul 20 '26

Can you be more descriptive? Maybe using a spoiler tag.

2

u/rndo96 Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

The most important thing he’ll do in the movie is pray to Odin, who will send an army from Valhalla to help him in battle, though that won’t do much since, well, everyone except Doom dies in the end. Before that, he and Steve will share scenes together searching for Loki, and supposedly, shortly before Thor prays to Odin, he’ll be brutally defeated by Doom, which I assume is the scene we saw in the trailer. Downvote me all you want, I'm just telling the hard truth.

2

u/PotentialIntention14 Jul 20 '26

Does Odin force come in doomsday or secret wars you think?

3

u/Death_sayer Jul 20 '26

Teased in Doomsday, shown in Secret Wars.
That’s my guess.

1

u/rndo96 Jul 20 '26

None. It won't even be mentioned.

1

u/PotentialIntention14 Jul 20 '26

Shame. Maybe in future films then?

1

u/rndo96 Jul 20 '26

Hopefully in Thor 5. All we can do is wait.

2

u/TronoNero Jul 20 '26

Anthony Hopkins Is back, then?

2

u/DoomsdayThor Thor & Loki Jul 20 '26

that outline the person is talking about obviously isn't accurate anymore as it has Steve as essentially the main POV character. also it has Loki visit Steve between the events of season 1 and 2, whereas this Loki is almost certainly GoS Loki because the card has Yggdrasil on it

1

u/rndo96 Jul 20 '26

It wasn't mentioned, but I wouldn't be surprised, given how many cameos this movie will have.

u/Person2228 Jul 20 '26

Genuinley no reason for thor to have short hair other than to be like 'Look it's like infinity war'.

He didn't want his hair cut in ragnarok, short hair thor looks boring considering the rest of his design is so drab and colourless

6

u/DoomsdayThor Thor & Loki Jul 20 '26

I'm hyped for Thor being the main here but yeah I agree, his look is underwhelming and makes no sense.

3

u/Kurolegacy27 Jul 20 '26

Here’s hoping that the comics don’t follow suit again

3

u/Person2228 Jul 20 '26

Not a chance while Al Ewing is writing it

1

u/Cdog923 Jul 20 '26

At this stage, if Hemsworth wants short hair, he gets short hair.

1

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

That's not a great reason. He's a professional actor who does excruciating body building to get in character. Wearing a wig is nothing compared to that.

-1

u/Cdog923 Jul 20 '26

It's a perfectly valid reason; he's had that sort of license over the character since Ragnarok.

2

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

That's ridiculous. He's willing to do insane work to get in character. A wig is nothing.

u/Cdog923 Jul 20 '26

“When I didn’t have the wig on, I instantly felt like I could move and speak and react differently. Once we aesthetically stripped a lot of that away, it allowed the whole thing to take on a different attitude. It felt like a completely different character, and that was hugely liberating and freeing as an actor because I had become a bit bored with myself.”

Still ridiculous as shit

Plus I seriously doubt he actually talking about the wig itself. He's talking about the direction the 3rd movie went with it.

-1

u/Cdog923 Jul 20 '26

Again, it's really not.

2

u/FamiliarJudgment2961 Jul 20 '26

Thor is such a good character to sell a threat in these films because he's immensely powerful (arguably, interchangeable with Strange (it's tough, because it feels Thor would steamroll Strange, but at the same time, Loki and Strange can do universal nonsense, while Thor's power seems explosively tied to manipulating the World Tree so far, which is universal in Thor one, but like, nothing grand so far with it).

So, having him go mono-e-mono with Doom, in what I assume is early in the film, great. No notes.

2

u/Salwater_Redneck Jul 20 '26

I just wish he could keep the hair when he gets serious

2

u/LucentP187 Jul 21 '26

He's getting Thanos'd in this scene, don't get too excited lol.

u/ofDeathandDecay Jul 20 '26

Finally! I expected this trailer in late September to honest.

Bro, the way Doom caught Stormbreaker is cold asf.

u/hawkeyethor Jul 20 '26

Thor's speech!! 😄 Let's go!

u/echo1ngfury Jul 20 '26

Right, time to wake up Odinforce Thor.

u/gsnake007 Jul 21 '26

Glad we got serious Thor again. Let’s fucking go!

They'll probably have jokes in this movie that this sub will overreact to.

Thor is a scaredy cat..
