Thor: Love and Thunder
It ’s possibleThor : Love & Thunderwill see Thor join his 5th MCU squad - the so - foretell " God Squad . " There ’s a sense in which Thor Odinson has become the greatest team instrumentalist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . For untold centuries , he worked alongside Lady Sif and the Warriors Three , before becoming a member of the OG Avengers on Earth . Thor : Ragnaroksaw him christen a raw squad " the Revengers , " and by the end ofAvengers : Endgame , Thor seemed to be joining the Guardians of the Galaxy .

The game ofThor : Love & Thunderis principally run from Jason Aaron’sThorrun . But theThor : Love & Thundertrailersubtly hint at another potential source of brainchild , one which could bring out the straight nature of Thor ’s novel alliance . It ’s possible this film will bring out the MCU ’s translation of the " God Squad . "
Thor: Love & Thunder Could Introduce The Council of Godheads
Marvel ’s first pantheon was bring in back in 2011’sThor , but back then the studio ’s decision - makers feared looker would n’t react well to god and the supernatural . The Asgardians were treated more like ancient aliens than actual providential beings , with Thor even cast away in a line that would have pleased Arthur C. Clarke because it suggested the Odinson came from a region where science and conjuring trick are one and the same thing . Times have changed , of course , withMoon Knightintroducing theMCU ’s Egyptian pantheon , explicitly delineate as gods and even dwelling within an afterlife dimension . Thor : Love & Thunderwill go even further , featuring Russell Crowe as the Greek god Zeus and Christian Bale as Gorr the God - Butcher , a being who travels the mavin pull deicide .
The trailer forThor : Love & Thunderfeatures Zeus address what at first glance is likely the MCU ’s interlingual rendition of Olympus , the home of the Greek gods . Crucially , though , visual aspect could well be deceptive , as an external shot is remindful of a mystical region call Omnipotence City from Aaron ’s foot race , where all the gods in the world unify . Although the nidus in the trailer is onRussell Crowe ’s Zeushimself , on close examination the gods Zeus is speak to wear a wide variety of clothing style . It ’s potential this is an idea lifted from other comic book stories , the Council of Godheads , with all the divine beingness across the galaxy come up to hear Zeus verbalise . This trunk is only convened in the fount of the gravest scourge to the universe itself , and the violent disorder of Gorr the God - Butcher would seem to fit the bill . The process to the Council of Godheads could potentially be what forces Thor Odinson out of retirement .
The Council of Godhood Could Create Thor’s New God Squad
This raises the amusing possibilityThor : Love & Thunderisn’t just base on Jason Aaron ’s iconic comic book run ; rather , it could also be prompt by another comical ledger upshot yell the " Chaos War , " in which Earth was intrude on bythe Skrull pantheon . Foreseeing the end of all gods , the Council of Godheads assembled a squad who became known as the " God Squad " to undertake a quest that would address with the menace . Thor ’s new confederation could be the MCU ’s God Squad , a team consist of the Odinson , Valkyrie , Jane Foster ’s Mighty Thor , and with Korg as an friend . While it ’s unfeigned this would be very dissimilar to the comics , there is certainly precedent for such a divergence - especially in a moving-picture show co - written by Taika Waititi . His version of the " World War Hulk " story inThor : Ragnarokwas hardly faithful to the cartoon strip .

If this is indeed the God Squad , then it may well hint as to Thor ’s own persona arc . The MCU ’s God Squad wasled by Marvel ’s Hercules , a office he felt singularly unworthy for because he had never lead a squad before . There are strike parallels between Hercules and the MCU ’s Thor at this head in his bow , for Thor was impart up to be swayer of Asgard and yet has fructify that away - in part because he does n’t really consider himself worthy for such a position . Like Hercules in the comics , Thor would need to learn to trust himself as a drawing card . This could potentially set the God of Thunder up for a much larger role in the MCU ’s Phase 4 , either among his aboriginal Asgardians or even as a key public figure in the Council of Godheads .
If theThor : Love & Thundertrailer does in fact show the Council of Godheads , then Thor may notice his pursuit pass him to their kingdom . Gorr the God - Butcher ’s goal is to remove every Supreme Being in creation , and an actual forum of the gods would make far too tempting a target area for him to pass up . There ’s a corking deal of excitation about the creation of Zeus inThor : Love & Thunder , but the ancient Greek god may well not survive the film - and it ’s quite potential many of the God in his consultation will drop dead as well . Thus the God Squad could potentially find themselves returning to their place of origin inThor : Love & Thunder , desperately attempting to forestall Gorr grow the Council of Godheads into a divine battue . If so , Thor Odinson ’s seeking to kill Gorr the God - Butcher would become the groovy triumph of his life , observe upon by countless other gods . Thor may have attempted to put godhood and valiance behind him , but lot clearly has other ideas .
