Thor: Love and Thunder Becomes Least-Rated Thor Film on Rotten Tomatoes

Image
More than any other MCU franchise, the Thor one is characterised by ups and downs. Thor's sequel, Thor: The Dark World, fared considerably worse than its predecessor, failing to meet up to the standards of its MCU rivals, marking a new low for the franchise. The third movie in the series, Thor: Ragnarok, was directed by Taika Waititi, who brought fresh hope to the franchise with his special blend of humour and imagination. Related: Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes Fans anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder, Waititi's second MCU picture, to be on par with or even better than that. However, following its publication, many people felt let down by the sequel due to what they perceived as a lack of tone balance and a waste of characters and plotlines. The movie has suffered as a result, both critically and commercially. Thor: Love and Thunder has already broken a new record for the franchise, and not in a positive manner, despite having been out for les...

Thor: Love and Thunder Suffers One of MCU's Worst Box Office Drops

Image
Taika Waititi's interpretation of the God of Thunder was a smash hit when he first appeared in the MCU with Thor: Ragnarok. So it came as no surprise that he would return for a fourth time to take Chris Hemsworth on another wild and outrageous ride. What was surprising was that Love and Thunder didn't perform as well as the director's first outing. While the initial reactions were unusually positive, when the reviews came in, the response was generally lukewarm. In fact, the film received a B+ CinemaScore. While that appears to be perfectly reasonable, it is the second lowest for a Marvel Studios film ever—Ragnarok received an A in comparison.

‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ star suggests spinoff sequence with Beta Ray Bill

Image
The majority of the attention has been placed on Jane Foster, played by Natalie Portman, who makes her eagerly anticipated comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thor: Love and Thunder after nearly a decade away, but she's not the only one in that situation. Jaimie Alexander's Lady Sif also disappeared into thin air despite having played a sizable part in both the first film and its sequel, The Dark World. At least this meant that she was the only member of the Odinson's crew to survive Hela's wrath in Ragnarok, which saw the Warriors Three cast aside in a murderous manner. Related: GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role It appears that Alexander is eager to get a piece of the action because the Disney Plus era has made every aspect of the MCU available for numerous spinoffs, sequel programmes, and episodic offshoots. The actress asked followers on social media what they would like to see in the Lady Sif series, and she started things off ...

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 ...

Fans slam new Thor Movie — 'Natalie Portman as Thor was never mentioned in Norse mythology'

Image
Marvel fans have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with Natalie Portman's portrayal of Thor in the upcoming film in the iconic franchise. "Thor is Thor, right? "I mean, he's a giant hammer-wielding dude with long hair," remarked Stewart James, a long-time Marvel fan. "That is Norse mythology, which dates back to the Roman Empire." Thor is a guy at all times. He isn't Natalie Portman at all. I've read a lot of Norse mythology, and Thor has never been played by Natalie Portman. "It's not like Thor fought the Trolls at Ragnarok and then gave his hammer to the Black Swan girl." "Making her become Thor is a disgrace to Norse mythology's thousands of years." "Consider yourself a Viking. 'These are my gods here, and I've never heard of Natalie Portman, so what's she there for?' you'd say, before chopping off their heads and drinking their blood from their skulls." And you'd be cor...

Why is Thor: 4 Most Important Phase 4 Film for Marvel

Image
No phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever compared to Phase 4 of the MCU in its fourteen-year history. Despite the fact that it only started in January 2021, it already boasts a slate of five theatrical features, five live-action Disney+ series, and the animated What If...? Apart from Ms. Marvel on Disney+, Chris Hemsworth's fourth solo MCU film, Thor: Love and Thunder, is the next project on the horizon. Despite the fact that Phase 4 has been an embarrassment of riches in terms of content, one of the main fan complaints has been the lack of interwoven storyline, which is a Marvel Studios trademark. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was widely expected to serve as the thesis for the MCU's Multiverse Saga and the connecting thread amongst its diverse slate of projects. However, when this was not the case, many became dissatisfied and even questioned whether there was a strategy in place this time. Given the current promotion for Thor: Love and Thunder, it app...

Thor Love and Thunder: Director Taika Waititi Reveals Jane Foster’s ‘Mighty Thor’ Fighting Style

Image
Marvel Studios is putting the last touches on filmmaker Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder, the second of three MCU films set to hit theatres this year. The MCU now has a fascinating new story to tackle on Earth and throughout the cosmos, with both Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman's heroes taking up the mantle of Thor. After a nine-year absence, the studio has finally released the second full trailer for Thor 4, offering fans a taste of what Portman will be up to now that she's proven herself worthy of wielding Mjolnir. Even though this does not imply that Jane will permanently assume the role of Thor, her impact will be felt immediately as she reunites with her ex-boyfriend in this new standalone drama. Of course, just because two characters share the same mantle doesn't imply they'll battle in the same method, which goes beyond Hemsworth's Stormbreaker hero and Portman's Mjolnir worth. The sequel's director recently revealed more information abo...

Thor: Love and Thunder Poster Subtly Confirms the Return of an MCU Hero

Image
An MCU veteran's name appears on a recently published official poster for Thor: Love and Thunder, indicating the character's comeback. Source: Marvel Thor's friends will not be limited to Valkyrie, Korg, and Jane Foster in Thor: Love and Thunder , as the film's latest poster indicates the return of another old buddy. A closer look at the picture, published by Marvel Studios, reveals Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Jaimie Alexander's name among the cast members, revealing that her character Lady Sif will return in the God of Thunder sequel.Alexander's return to the role of Sif was initially confirmed in December 2020, with the article stating that she will play the character not only in Love and Thunder, but also in the Disney+ series Loki. Alexander would then post a photo of herself getting ready to go to Australia to begin production on Love and Thunder in early 2021, then hint in an Instagram story that she would return as Sif, adding, "The woman has ret...

Will Chris Hemsworth's Thor be replaced by Natalie Portman? Marvel Director Responds

Image
Marvel fans will finally get to see Thor Odinson in Marvel Studios' Thor: Love and Thunder, after three years, six Disney+ programmes, and five theatrical blockbusters. While it's true that Thor 4 promotion is still in its early stages, what the studio has released thus far has been remarkably insightful, particularly in terms of Chris Hemsworth's Thor's current state and the return of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster as Mighty Thor. For example, the first trailer reveals that Thor is doing some soul searching and may be on the edge of retirement. Jane as Mighty Thor carrying a reforged Mjolnir was shown in the teaser. While the second teaser for Thor 4 revealed more of Chris Hemsworth's Thor, the same cannot be said for Jane and her new forceful identity. Because of these revelations, as well as the fact that Love and Thunder is Hemsworth's fourth MCU solo film, fans have speculated whether Natalie Portman will be the MCU's next Thor. Now that the second t...

The Watcher Statue is featured in the new Thor 4 trailer

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...

How Jane Foster became Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder

Image
With the teaser trailer revelation of Natalie Portman's Thor: Love & Thunder role as the god of thunder, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thor franchise had something to shout about, and there was no doubt who was behind that gleaming helm. It would have been more difficult for anyone else to guess. Portman hasn't had a substantial role in the MCU since 2013's Thor: The Dark World, except from a cameo in Avengers: Endgame (which consisted of some brief voice work and repurposed footage). In 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, the Taika Waititi picture that gave the MCU's Asgardian setting its first unapologetic critical success, she was nowhere to be found. So, what made her leave? Why are you returning? It's possible that Marvel forgot about her and is now playing catch-up. Portman's earliest attempts to leave the Marvel Cinematic Universe reportedly began during the early phases of preparing a sequel to Thor, when she was considering taking a multi-year...

Christian Bale as Marvel's Best Villain, According to Thor 4 Director

Image
Now after Multiverse of Madness Marvel Studios will continue its promotional tour for Thor: Love and Thunder, which will be released in July. Thor 4 features an all-star cast, including high-profile newcomers like Christian Bale's evil Gorr the God Butcher, as has been the case with every Marvel film in Phase 4. Marvel Studios has introduced a new round of great villains to follow up on Thanos' efforts in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame in the first 16 months following the Infinity Saga. Marvel's former enemy problem has been solved several times, from Agatha Harkness in WandaVision through Willem Dafoe's comeback as the Green Goblin in Spider-Man: No Way Home. After playing Batman in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy , Christian Bale now joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe to play one of the most fearsome villains in MCU history in Thor 4. With only a few months until Bale's MCU debut, director Taika Waititi has revealed what fans may expect...
