After venturing across the universe, Thor (Hemsworth) is ready to retire from the superhero life. However, when a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Bale) intends to execute all living gods, Thor must spring into action with the help of Asgard’s new ruler Valkyrie (Thompson), his loyal friend Korg (Waititi), and – to Thor’s surprise – his former girlfriend Jane Foster (Portman), who now possesses the power to wield Mjolnir and become the Mighty Thor…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo outing as the MCU’s most famous god is a rockin’ good time, especially under the irreverent direction of Taika Waititi and with the unexpected return of Natalie Portman to the franchise.
