Thor: Love and Thunder

The Marvel comics have a rather storied history with mythology . It is n’t uncommon to add up across a alone take on a deity that someone by and by finds out was for the most part made - up just to add together some multi - home flavor to a plot line . This has mixed results , sometimes create a god that sports fan love , and sometimes , derive off as othering ( and even a bit racist at times ) .

But comic artists and writers have grown a quite a little , and many more late takes on the Marvel pantheon have been created with much more consideration given to the finish and people being represent by these deity . With the upcoming movieThor : lovemaking and Thunderpromising gods galore , there are several likely addition to the MCU that would agree perfectly in the film .

Bast

Bast has been referenced already in the MCU and seen briefly on - screen inBlack Panther . in the first place based on the Egyptian goddess Bastet , a housecat goddess , Bast is a panther goddess revere in Wakanda . T’Challa and N’Jobu report her as a spiritual and otherworldly guide who led the first Black Panther to his powers and leads the dead to the afterlife .

With some of the reveals inMoon Knightregarding the afterlife and gods , it would not be a far stretch to bring Bast more full into the mix . And with the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman , a very touching moment could be made of the Goddess channelise him on into the afterlife .

Kukulkan

Kukulkan is the fly wind serpent of Mayan mythology . He has appeared in the Marvel comics in the past times as a snake - man ' god ' during a storyline in which insensate imposters of the Mayan pantheon essay to take over the cosmos . The Hulk handily vote out them , but the Mayapan is begging for a better appearance .

Kukulkan is one of the most visually inspired divinity around and would look incredible in the technicolor stylings that Taika Waititi ’s Thor picture appear to favor . to boot , as a God of Wind , there is ample room for Thor to find a unspoilt friend in the snake . Kukulkan would gibe absolutely into the humanity wait in the film .

Atum

Also know as the " Demogorge " or the " God - Eater , " Atum could make a surprising summation to theLove and Thunderpantheon . Atum began his sprightliness in the comics as the Egyptian god , Amon Ra , The Sun God , but would regularly become the Demogorge so as to squander demons and rebel gods likewise . He often served as an hereafter guide for fallen Gods .

Because of his condition as God - Eater , who provides a direction to the hereafter for idol who might not be able-bodied to die otherwise , he would fit into the film as an unexpected third - act baddie - or someone forGorr the God - Butcher to face . Details of what to expect from the pic are still light , think there is room enough to put in almost any possibility - even one as monolithic as Atum .

Sl’gur’t

visualise foreign Gods is almost a certainty with the purpose plot ofThor : Love and Thunder . The lagger already features the corpse of Falligar , who is a monumental beast who " wriggle ignominious holes for fun . " But there is almost an infinity of pantheon to choose from in the MCU , with just as much potential to just make one up .

But audiences have seen much of the Skrull form - shift alien already , particularly inCaptain Marvel . These aliens have a warrior goddess Sl’gur’t , who has made frequent appearance in the funnies alongside Kly’bn , her lover . Both could make very important appearances since we sleep together the Skrull are working with Nick Fury .

Pele

Thanks to the massive success of Moana , and Taika Waititi ’s own Pacific Islander and Jewish heritage , it would make a lot of good sense forThor : Love and Thunderto introduce a Pacific Islander god . There are manymythological fiber that could be introducedfrom the region , which contains many rich and varied acculturation .

Pele is the Goddess of Volcanos and Lava , which would provide her with an easy theme for VFX artists to build up around . She is also most commonly depicted as a untested womanhood , which could extend to several cracking cast decisions - perhaps afford up the possible action for Moana herself , actress Auli’i Cravalho to join the MCU .

Nezha

One of the most popular and commonly seen form from Chinese legend is Nezha , who is a shielder god .

Nezha is ordinarily featured in many level and television games today ( but more than just topical , Nezha is also narratively alike to Thor ) . Both are ' gilded sons ' of sort , who find delight in battle and reach to help their parents . Audiences have yet to see Thor take care back on his kinship with his mother and father - Nezha could be a catalyst .

Amatsu-Mikaboshi

One of the more Marvel - connect gods , Amatsu - Mikuboshi has shown up in several Marvel laughable storylines as an foeman of Thor and Hercules ( who many fans expect to see seem alongside Zeus ) . Amatsu - Mikuboshi has a assorted past , with a few plot line proffer him up for redemption , but often remains vicious .

In the funnies , this god correspond the primordial dark that get along before Earth existed , but , in the original mythology , he was merely a trickster who deny to join with the other celestial graven image - which includes other major deities , such as the Sun goddess Amaterasu and Susanoo - another God of Storms and Thunder .

Gaea

In the strip , Gaea is the birth - female parent of Thor , as well as the mother of many other Gods . She is one of the first beingness , in general , to survive on Earth , and the longest - living as well . In fact , over the course of her aliveness in the comics , she has taken the role of dozens of other Mother Goddesses , including the Maori goddess , Papa .

Gaea ’s appearance could be a very complicated one , emotionally , for Thor . However , after so much death in his spirit , it could be interesting to see him in intercourse to a Goddess of Life . What ’s more , as the Mother Goddess she would make a major quarry for the purported baddie of Gorr the God - Butcher , since she is one of the few able-bodied to birth new gods .

Chthon

As a counterpart to Gaea , Cthon is another of the primordial gods available from the comic universe of discourse . Chthon is one of the evilest of deities and is often the creator of the Darkhold . The Darkhold is the Necronomicon - esque rule book of malevolent magic that has been see inWandavisionandDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness .

What comic leger devotee will knowis that Chthon is often there to utilize , and sometimes power , dim magic . It is his dark and evil trend that get him finally trapped in a dissimilar attribute altogether ( which would provide an interesting way of working the multiverse into an otherwise straightforward - seeming film ) .

Leir/Raijin

One of the most meaningful and interesting use of goods and services of divinity inThor : Love and Thundercould be bringing in other graven image of Thunder and Lightning - like Thor - Gods like Leir of Gaelic legends , Chaac of Mayan , or Raijin of Japan . While fans only have a few films and bear witness so far , there is a theme rising in this phase of the MCU .

So far , films likeSpiderman : No fashion HomeandDoctor Strange : Multiverse of Madnesshave heavy sport multiple versions of MCU case . With Thor ’s discussion of his place in the universe and the introduction of Lady Thor in the drone , Love and Thunderis posed to examine Thor via other ' versions of himself ' throughout other mythologies , much like these other films and shows have done .
