Thor: Love and Thunder is already out in select countries. However, for the rest of the world, Chris Hemsworth's fourth solo MCU outing isn't set to hit theaters until Friday, July 8.
Until then, you can either keep off the internet to avoid spoilers from people who've already watched it or check out what critics are saying.
If you want to do the latter, you've come to the right place.
Before everything else, let's do a primer. Love and Thunder is Taikaka Waititi's second MCU film. The Oscar-winning director previously revitalized the black sheep of the billion-dollar franchise with 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. As the name suggests, Hemsworth returns to portray Thor once again. Love and Thunder will pick up following 2019's Avengers: Endgame after Thor helped save the universe. Now, it appears that he's going through a bit of a crisis as he sets out on an adventure to find out more about himself.
Unfortunately, Thor's journey of self-discovery isn't straightforward. He might have the full backing of his newfound friends, Waititi's Korg and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, Thor will find that Thanos isn't the only one on a genocidal mission. Thor will face off against Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher and he'll need all the help he can get. For that, he'll have Natalie Portman's Jane Foster and Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie as his back-up.
