The second “Avengers: Doomsday” teaser trailer has been released, and this time it focuses on Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor.
The new teaser comes a week after Chris Evans’ Captain America was featured in the first “Doomsday” trailer that played during the previews of “Avatar: Fire and Ash” screenings. That first teaser revealed that Cap would return for “Doomsday” and that he surprisingly has a child. Similarly, the Thor teaser revolves around him praying to keep his adopted daughter, Love (who was introduced in 2022’s “Thor: Love and Thunder”), safe as he once again answers the call to battle.
The teaser starts out in a sunny, calm forest, similar to the idyllic farmhouse of the Captain America teaser. Thor prays to his late father, the Norse god Odin, for the strength to keep his new daughter safe as he presumably prepares to join the Avengers to take on Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom in “Doomsday.” The teaser shows a brief glimpse of Love, who’s grown up a bit from “Love and Thunder.” Thor, dressed in casual clothes, kisses her on the forehead while she lays in bed and his serious narration continues playing.
Love (played by Hemsworth’s real-life daughter India) is actually the child of the villain Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). In “Love and Thunder,” Gorr seeks out revenge on every god after his prayers to save his late daughter were left unanswered. In the end, however, Gorr gives up his vengeful quest and manages to resurrect Love before he dies. In his final moments, Gorr makes Thor promise to raise Love as if she were his own daughter. Love then joins Thor on his ensuing adventures and wields his Stormbreaker hammer.
Hemsworth had already been announced to star in “Avengers: Doomsday,” alongside many other Marvel actors, earlier this year. He’ll take on Doctor Doom with help from Evans, Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddleston, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke and Simu Liu. “Doomsday” will bring together not only the Avengers, but “Fantastic Four” stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, plus the “Thunderbolts” cast Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen and Lewis Pullman. Jumping from Fox’s “X-Men” universe, the ultimate team-up movie will also feature Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Alan Cumming, James Marsden, Channing Tatum and Rebecca Romijn.
