It's official: Marvel Studios is kicking the marketing for Thor: Love and Thunder up a notch.

After dropping a teaser for Thor 4 ahead of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' premiere, the latest hype-inducing glimpse of Chris Hemsworth's return to the big screen gives fans plenty of reason to get excited for July.

Although the trailer for Thor's latest outing could have done just as well with more dialogue between Jane Foster's Mighty Thor and Hemsworth's Thor Odinson, especially with Taika Waititi's Korg playing the ultimate hypeman as he told stories of the Space Viking, Marvel Studios went ahead and revealed Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher, who is terrifying in his on-screen debut.

In addition to some witty banter between Thor and Mighty Thor as well as Gorr's horrifying god-killing presence, the two-minute preview sees the return of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, who is now the King of New Asgard, as well as more of Russel Crowe's Zeus.

The MCU isn't short of relatable villains with reasonable causes and Gorr the God Butcher is not an exception.
