Less and less is missing for the theatrical release of the fourth installment of our favorite deity of the entire UCM: Thor Love and Thunder. And it is that this new film has been able to generate a huge amount of hype for the followers of Marvel Studios, well above any that we have previously experienced with Chris Hemsworth in the main leading role.
Deities left and right
Judging by what we are shown in the trailers, the new film promises to be the most humorous to date, as well as a story full of emotion and a villain at the height of the God of thunder. Also, it seems that we will have a large number of gods from different mythologies and cultures, so this time we are going to make a quick recap of all these fantastic characters that we will see in the film directed by Taika Waititi.
thor obviously
First of all, and as expected, Thor will be in Thor Love and Thunder (laughs). Although the Marvel character has some different traits from what we find in the legends of Norse mythology, it must be clarified that he is one of the fantastic superheroes that have best adapted from the legends to the pages of comics. In both versions, the God of Thunder wields Mjölnir, an enchanted hammer that he uses to fire lightning bolts at will.
valkyrie returns
We met this character in Thor Ragnarok , and he will also appear in this new film, which, it seems, will have a very important role in the main narrative of the film. In the legends, the Valkyries were a kind of royal guards of Odin, as well as those in charge of deciding which brave warriors could enter Valhalla… the Norse world equivalent of paradise.
Sif, where was I?
Indeed, we will see her again. This feared warrior isn’t the first time she’s been around, as she made a cameo appearance in the first two films of the Thor trilogy . However, when Thor Ragnarok hit theaters, no one knew where her character was. In recent years, beginning with a small but hilarious appearance within the Loki series , she finally has all the earmarks of being given the importance she deserves. By the way, in Norse mythology she is the goddess of the Earth and wife of Thor himself.
Zeus, he’s coming!
Finally, among those that we know with absolute certainty that we will see in Love and Thunder we have Zeus. This occasion marks the first appearance of him within the UCM and, incidentally, we depart slightly from the mythology of the Nordic countries to enter the Greek. To this day, the exact role that this god, played by Russell Crowe , will have within the plot is unknown, although it promises to be a vital part.
In the legends of ancient Greece, Zeus is the father of all the gods and lord of Mount Olympus, as well as the progenitor of an indecent number of demigods and mythical heroes… such as Hercules, who is speculated that we could have a star appearance in the film. ).
In addition, there are rumors that we would see another god like Bast, the panther goddess and deity that we were already told about in Black Panther , as well as some other Olympian god.
