The Watcher Statue is featured in the new Thor 4 trailer

Thor: Love and Thunder Watcher

Thor: Thunder and Love The film's second trailer has just been released, and it features some incredible new footage and context for Chris Hemsworth's impending sequel. Thor Odinson gets to flaunt his abs, Jane Foster gets to show off some killer new moves, and audiences all over the world get their first look at Gorr the God Butcher.

The film continues to showcase filmmaker Taika Watiti's quirky visual aesthetic and sense of humour, promising a wild trip that may even outshine Thor: Ragnarok. However, with a new trailer come newly discovered Easter Eggs.

There's a very enormous one in the background of this new teaser. One that could be the first step toward seeing the cosmic Uatu the Watcher make his way to the big screen.


Thor 4: The Watcher


Jane Foster's God of Thunder may be seen raising her hammer to the skies in the latest trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder, summoning lightning.

Behind her are statues of several larger-than-life individuals who represent some of the Marvel Universe's Cosmic beings - the people that embody existence itself. Death, The Living Tribunal, Infinity, and Eon are among the characters.

However, one stands out above the rest: Uatu's The Watcher.

Yes, the same Watcher that appeared in What If...? and was played by Jeffery Wright.

Watcher What if...?

As fans can see in the zoomed-in photo below, the statue bears an exact resemblance to the character:

Will The Watcher Join Us?


While The Watchers did appear during Stan Lee's cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it never felt like a proper introduction to the race. It appears to be a silly-fun sequence in which The Watchers were thrown in without much thinking (something potentially backed up by their absence from Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame).

However, it was clear that with What If...?, The Watchers, and particularly Uatu, were meant to be thrust into the spotlight, paving the way for a far more active role in the MCU's future.


So, what are the chances that Uatu will actually show up?Given his obligation to never meddle, the stakes would have to be sky-high for it to happen. So, while it's feasible, this monument will be the biggest nod fans will get.

If the anticipated Secret Wars is the next major Avengers or event picture, it would be a big enough set of circumstances for Jeffery Wright's observant observer to properly cross over from animation to live-action.


On July 8, Thor: Love and Thunder will be released in theatres.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
