MCU’s first superhero to get a 4th outing for himself is Thor. With Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor’s story after Endgame continues. The film marks the return of regular players in a Thor film and some new entries- Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Natalie Portman, Russell Crowe, Taika Waititi, , Chris Pratt, Jaimie Alexander, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Sean Gunn, and Vin Diesel and Christian Bale. The film is directed by Thor: Ragnarok fame Taika Waititi. He also co-wrote the film’s screenplay with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The film focuses on Thor’s journey after the events of Endgame. We seemingly weren’t sure where Thor’s story would go next but this film gives us a good idea of it. We’re introduced to Gorr the God Butcher in this film. The film is just above 2 hours and to wrap it up quickly it is mixed bag of emotions and dry humor.
With conflicting tones and misplaced humor the movie was a good but mediocre affair. However, if you want to check out our full review you can click here. The film had gotten mixed reviews since its premiere. However, the majority was heading towards the positive side. However, as the days have gone by and the film has opened to audiences those opinions have drastically changed as the film is now being considered one of the worst films in the entire MCU. Until now these were just the opinions of people but the ratings of the film proves that the this is a worldwide notion. As the film’s box office run is running out of fuel, Marvel has just announced a streaming date for the film.
When is Thor: Love and Thunder Coming to Disney Plus?
Marvel announced the film’s streaming debut date by releasing this poster on their social media handles. It appears that fans can watch the new Thor film at their homes from 8th September 2022. Honestly, the new poster that Marvel released looks much better than any of the other posters released by Marvel during the film’s theatrical release. Love and Thunder’s budget is humungous. The film was made with $250 Million. For a film that has no major implications on the MCU that is some big investment.
The film began its box office run with a bang but as the reviews started to come out and the bad word of mouth spread, the film’s box office performance began to dip. Love and Thunder was another Marvel that came out this year which was supposed to cross the $1 Billion mark. Thor: Ragnarok outperformed its predictions with earning almost close to $900 Million. So, Love and Thunder having the same director was expected to bring some big number. Although, it wasn’t supposed to be.
Thor: Love and Thunder’s box office collection is $721.3 Million. That is lower than Ragnarok’s box office collection and I’m not even talking about the inflation adjusted figures. Maybe the streaming debut might introduce the film to some new audiences that might like the film and avert the notion about the film. I don’t think the film is going to last much longer in theatres. The poor reception and heavy competition has made sure of it.
Thor: Love and Thunder will be available for streaming on Disney+ from September 8th 2022.
