Will Thor Love and Thunder be Chris Hemsworth’s last movie as God of Thunder?: ‘It may be…’

 ChrisHemsworth has been playing the role of Thor since 2011’s standalone film, titled simply Thor, directed by Kenneth Cranach. Many agree the followup, Thor: Dark World, was the low-point of his Thor, but the character got a much-needed boost with Taiga Waikiki's Thor: Ragnarök, the third film,  which was a madcap delight.

Waikiki is returning to direct Hemsworth in Thor: Love and Thunder. Will it be the last time we will see a Thor movie starring him? We don’t know, and he doesn’t know either. During Wired’s auto-complete interview, he was asked about his future as Thor and what is his last Thor movie.

“The last one I just shot was Thor: Love and Thunder. And it may be my last, I don’t know,” he responded.

Love and Thunder, if the hints promos give are true, is indeed shaping up to be the swansong of Hemsworth’s Thor. Perhaps Portman, who assumes the mantle of Mighty Thor, will be MCU’s thunder deity post that?

In the latest trailer, we see Waikiki’s Kory, telling a story about Thor to a group of children of his race. He is speaking in past tense. Does that mean Thor is dead? We will anyway soon find out.

Meanwhile, Love and Thunder also boasts of Guardians of the Galaxy cast members Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, and Karen Gila. Jeff Goldblum is likely to return as Grand master from Thor: Ragnarök, too. Jaime Alexander will reprise Lady  from the first two Thor movies. Russell Crowe will play the role of Zeus, the Marvel character derived from the mythical Greek king of gods.

Christian Bale dons the role of primary antagonist Gory the God Butcher, a powerful being who vowed to kill all gods due to successive tragedies in his life.

 Thor Love and Thunder releases on July 7 in India.

 Chris Hemsworth as Thor:

An Avenger and the former king of Asgard, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name. Director Taiga Waikiki said that Thor is going through a midlife crisis in the film, as he is "just trying to figure out his purpose, trying to figure out exactly who he is and why he's a hero or whether he should be a hero".

 Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to premiere in Los Angeles on June 23, 2022. It will be released in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2022, and in the United States on July 8. It was previously set for release on November 5, 2021,[3] but was delayed to February 18, 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then moved up a week to February 11 once Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was rescheduled from November 2021 to March 2022, and delayed once again to May 6, 2022, in December 2020, before shifting to the July 2022 date in October 2021. It will be part of Phase Four of the MCU.
