Movie brings back Natalie Portman as Almighty Thor and Tessa Thompson as the “king” of New Asgard
Betting on chaos, Taika Waititi and his team Thor: Ragnarok they were a breath of fresh air in the Marvel cinema formula. Well inside Thor: Love and thunderwhich arrives this Thursday, 7th, in cinemas, returns with the same energy: everything everywhere at the same time, for better or for worse – and with a little more ambition.
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) begins the film by starring with the Guardians of the Galaxy, much to their dismay. But he soon returns to New Asgard, the refuge found by his people after the destruction of their planet. At the helm of the now tourist destination is King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson). “Being king isn’t quite what Valkyrie expected,” the actress said Estadio, via videoconference. “He’s spent his entire life, millennia, defending his people on the battlefield. And he wants to stay that way – he just didn’t expect there would be so many meetings and so much paperwork. He wants more turmoil. If you ‘ you’re looking for action, there’s no better place than a Marvel movie! “
In this case, the action is provoked by Gorr, the Butcher of the Gods (Christian Bale), a villain whose plan is to kill all the gods. Because? Because he, once an ordinary, poor and devoted man, lost his daughter to drought and found that the gods simply didn’t care about her pain. “One of the pleasures of a good villain is having fun with him. In this case, it’s more complex, you actually cheer him on, because Gorr is not wrong,” Thompson said. “It’s the same when we put our hope in certain people, we put them on a pedestal and they let us down when we need them most.”
Gorr’s love for his daughter turns into hatred of the gods. And it is an old love of Thor who will be by his side and Valkyrie in his struggle: Jane Foster, the brilliant scientist who broke the relationship and caused a depression in the Norse god, is now the Mighty Thor, managing to wield the hammer Mjolnir. But Jane is hiding a secret.
For Tessa Thompson, it was great to fight alongside another woman. “I hope someday it’s so normal that we don’t have to talk about it anymore. Nobody asks any of the Chrisses what it’s like to be in a movie with so many men,” she says. “But in the meantime, it was really nice to have a sister-in-law. Also because Natalie Portman is a friend of mine and we spend a lot of time looking for representation in our industry. In fact, we are used to fighting together, but we don’t wear capes and there is none. it’s a lot of good food for free. But in both contexts it’s important. “
The return of Jane Foster makes Thor grow and puts love above all else. At first, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) tells him that it is better to suffer after having loved than to live the experience. And for Tessa Thompson, the bigger idea behind it Thor: Love and thunder it is the healing and transforming power of love. “It might seem a little corny and it’s a little shameful to talk about it, as we live in an increasingly cynical age,” said the actress. “But I truly believe that the only thing that will transform and heal us is radical love. Including loving who and what we don’t understand. We need it so badly, especially right now.”
