Director Taika Waititi is teasing Thor: Love and Thunder's ending ahead of the movie's release, saying fans should expect the unexpected. Chris Hemsworth returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Phase 4 for a record fourth solo film. It reteams him with Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi after the two reinvented the god of thunder by injecting him with a more comedic tone. Thor: Love and Thunder continues Thor's story after Avengers: Endgame, where audiences saw him leave Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy in search of figuring out who he is.
There is plenty of excitement from fans to see what Thor: Love and Thunder brings to the MCU. The transformation of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster becoming Mighty Thor is among the most anticipated elements, while Christan Bale's debut as Gorr the God Butcher has been praised. Early Thor: Love and Thunder reviews are mostly positive (albeit a bit mixed), but the real conversation around the movie will begin in a few days once it is released worldwide. Only then will audiences start discussing the spoilers, including the film's MCU setup and ending.
Ahead of Thor: Love and Thunder's theatrical release, director Taika Waititi spoke to Empire (via The Direct) about the movie as part of the outlet's coverage of the MCU Phase 4 movie. This included Waititi briefly teasing the end of this story and what it could mean for the future. According to him, Thor: Love and Thunder's ending is unexpected, so much so that it might not even directly set up Chris Hemsworth's next Marvel movie.
The end of this film is so cool, so satisfying and so unexpected for this character. I’d like to exit before an audience says, ‘We’re sick of you'... But if we come up with an idea that’s surprising and new to an audience, I’m always open to the conversation.
How Thor: Love and Thunder ends is one of the many questions audiences cannot wait to discover once the movie releases in theaters. The finale probably revolves around Thor and Mighty Thor teaming up to fight Gorr, while Valkyrie is also likely to be involved in some fashion. Beyond the final fight standard for all superhero movies, audiences must watch Thor: Love and Thunder to see precisely how unexpected the ending is.
There has been no shortage of theories about what could happen in Thor: Love and Thunder's ending, though. The possibility of Chris Hemsworth's Thor dying is real, while it could even set up a Mighty Thor spinoff starring Natalie Portman. If Thor's battle with Gorr follows the comics, it could even mean seeing younger, current, and future versions of Thor team up to fight him. While the multiverse is not expected to factor into Thor: Love and Thunder, Phase 4 has repeatedly shown that Marvel Studios can use movie endings to push the story in brand new directions - such as a Celestial kidnapping the Eternals or the Avengers recruiting Shang-Chi. Now, an unexpected twist for Thor might be next up.
