A new trailer video for Thor: Love and Thunder introduces the main characters of the MCU film in TikTok fashion. The latest entry in the Thor series is once again directed by Taika Waititi, who helmed the last solo entry, Thor: Ragnarok. Chris Hemsworth is back as Thor Odinson, joined by a cast of new and familiar faces. Natalie Portman returns to the franchise as Jane Foster/The Mighty Thor, Tessa Thompson is back as Valkyrie, and Waititi himself will once again voice the lovable rock creature Korg. Jamie Alexander's Lady Sif will also be back, having last appeared in the Disney+ show Loki.
New additions to the series include Christian Bale as Gorr The God Butcher, the film's villain, while Russell Crowe will make his MCU debut as Zeus. Thor: Love and Thunder also has an appearance from the Guardians of the Galaxy, including Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, Karen Gillan's Nebula, Dave Bautista's Drax, Pom Klementieff's Mantis, Bradley Cooper's Rocket, and Vin Diesel's Groot. It appears there will be more hilarious Asgardian theater in the sequel as well, with Matt Damon as Loki, Sam Neill as Odin, Melissa McCarthy as Hela, and Luke Hemsworth as Thor.
In a new TikTok trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder (via Thor: Love and Thunder News), the many characters of the film are (re)introduced in social media style, complete with the usual visual and audio tropes of the online platform. Guns N' Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" plays under the visuals, as it continues to be featured throughout the promotional materials for the film, serving as the de facto theme for this entry. The footage shows off Thor, Jane, Valkyrie, and Korg, all of whom will be key players in the new adventure, which looks to have the same flavor as Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok. Take a look at the video below:

Tickets for Thor: Love and Thunder go on sale Monday, June 13, which will be interesting to watch in gauging general interest for the film. The buzz has been good since the first trailers started rolling out, even if fairly late in the game for a major Marvel Studios venture. In terms of casting and the return of many of the known and fan-favorite characters, this could potentially be the first entry that Tom Hiddleston's Loki doesn't appear, as he's been rather busy trapped in the multiverse in his own show. While it's unlikely he'll appear in a major role for this entry, it's entirely possible that he makes an appearance in the end credits to some degree, but for now, this is the first Loki-less Thor solo film.
Thor: Love and Thunder is hard at work pushing the hype now that the first trailer has debuted, and with the MCU firmly established as a shoo-in for box-office dollars, it's unlikely that the studio is nervous about how it will perform at all. Hemsworth's Thor has long been a fan favorite, and he remains the last of the original three Avengers to still be in the MCU proper, as both Captain America and Iron Man are both dead or retired. Hemsworth has said he plans to stick with the role for the time being, so it's unlikely we'll see the end of Thor anytime soon, even if Jane Foster is moving in on his throne.
