Thor: Ragnarok was probably the most fun of all of Marvel's superhero blockbusters, but its writer-director, Taika Waititi, has upped the ante for its follow-up, Thor: Love & Thunder. Chris Hemsworth returns as the mighty Thor. He has given up being a superhero, but when the evil Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) starts living up to his memorable name, Thor has to come out of retirement, along with his sidekicks Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Korg (Waititi). The twist is that while he's been on sabbatical, his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has usurped his role as the hammer-wielding god of thunder.
《雷神3：诸神黄昏》很可能是所有漫威超级英雄大片中最搞笑的，但是该片编剧兼导演塔伊加·维迪提却在续集《雷神4：爱与雷霆》中让喜感进一步升级。克里斯·海姆斯沃斯回归本片饰演威猛的雷神。他已经放弃当一名超级英雄了，但是当邪恶的屠神者格尔（克里斯蒂安·贝尔饰演）开始屠戮诸神时，雷神被迫重操旧业，和他并肩战斗的是女武神（泰莎·汤普森饰演）和石头人（维迪提饰演）。令人意外的是，在雷神休假期间，他的前女友简·福斯特（娜塔莉·波特曼饰演）取代了他的位置，成了女雷神。
