Marvel’s once-vaunted safety is springing a number of leaks today. Because the studio prepares for subsequent 12 months’s arrival of “Avengers: Doomsday,” the advertising has begun in earnest with the discharge of “Avatar: Hearth & Ash.” In a neat twist, nevertheless, one teaser apparently is not sufficient. As a substitute, every week is meant to deliver a brand new batch of footage centered on the primary gamers set to return within the subsequent crossover occasion.
This week, moviegoers can reunite with Chris Evans as Captain America within the first “Doomsday” teaser, as was initially reported to be the case over a 12 months in the past — and which leaked on-line earlier than most might even get an opportunity to see for themselves. Now, it is occurred over again, although this time within the type of the second teaser (of 4 complete) and its most important focus: Chris Hemsworth’s Thor.
Now, earlier than anybody throws a match, we’re not about to hyperlink to any of the leaked footage in query and get copyright-struck into oblivion. What we can do is describe this new teaser within the broadest of strokes and speak concerning the implications. If the Steve Rogers-centric teaser is something to go by, which revealed that our good Captain has began a brand new household with Haley Atwell’s Peggy Carter within the time since we bade farewell to him in “Avengers: Endgame,” there are many hints to pour over with this teaser targeted fully on Thor.
The brand new teaser footage definitely does its job after which some. We see photos of Thor (sporting his quick hair look from “Ragnarok” and “Infinity Warfare,” notably, reasonably than “Thor: Love and Thunder”) strolling by the woods together with his axe Stormbreaker, kneeling and praying to Odin. The catch is that is dubbed in French … however, fortunately, now we have the interpretation for you down beneath.
Thor’s teaser units the tone for what to anticipate from Avengers: Doomsday
For these nonetheless irritated with Marvel Studios’ day-long stunt with the “Avengers: Doomsday” solid reveal earlier this 12 months, let’s simply say this new teaser ought to assist make up for that. Chris Hemsworth, after all, was one of many many names revealed to be reprising their roles for the upcoming blockbuster. What we did not know was, properly, every part else: how he suits into the story, what his look will really be, and whether or not he is aware of the magnitude of what he and the remainder of Marvel’s superheroes shall be going up in opposition to. Whereas a lot of that also stays unanswered, we no less than have a greater concept about that final half.
Not solely does the leaked footage affirm that Thor’s adopted daughter Love (performed by the actor’s real-life daughter India Rose Hemsworth) will return, as we see Thor putting a mild kiss on her brow in her bed room, however we additionally glimpse his new swimsuit for “Doomsday” and a few severely intriguing dialogue revealing his mind-set, as properly. In response to the teaser, which was out there solely in its French dub, social media customers started spreading English-language translations of Thor’s prayer. One such publish allegedly offers the reply, as you may see beneath:
Father. All my life, I’ve answered the calls of honor, responsibility, and fight.
However future has provided me one thing I by no means anticipated: a toddler. A life preserved from the storm.
Grant me the power of the Father of All Issues, to have the ability to struggle yet one more time, to defeat a brand new enemy, and to return to her. Not as a warrior, however as a protector.
Could she not know battle, however peace, the type I’ve by no means identified. I encourage you, Father, hear my prayer.”
Our takeaways? That “new enemy” nearly definitely seems to be referring to Robert Downey, Jr.’s Physician Doom, whereas it is no less than encouraging that the franchise will not be brushing apart Thor’s daughter from the otherwise-derided “Thor: Love and Thunder.” This heartfelt plea concludes with the title card that, “Thor Will Return In ‘Avengers: Doomsday,'” adopted by a countdown timer to subsequent 12 months’s launch.
The footage must be made out there in theaters earlier than showings of “Avatar: Hearth & Ash” subsequent week. “Doomsday” will arrive on December 18, 2026.
