Where is Thor 4 in the MCU timeline?

Thor: Love And Thunder mostly takes place on other planets, except for a few scenes in New Asgard, and exists completely independently of the MCU. No real easter eggs, and no compelling connection to other Marvel superheroes — aside from the presence of the Guardians of the Galaxy at the beginning of the film — allow Thor: Love And Thunder to fit neatly into Marvel’s timeline.

Obviously Thor 4 takes place after Avengers: Endgame as the film is part of Phase IV of the MCU and the God of Thunder reunites the Guardians at the beginning of the film as Avengers: Endgame signaled the end.

But the hint could provide some information, at least a fork, about Love And Thunder’s place in the MCU timeline. The film does return to Thor and Jane Foster’s romantic relationship on Earth through flashback montages, but also to their breakup – “double-sided” According to the Torah – What we learned in Torah: Ragnarok.

In the fourth Thor movie, which sees the God of Thunder and Jane Foster meet for the first time since their separation, we learn that the two lovers have left each other. “8 years, 7 months and 6 days ago”. Yes, Thor is counting down the days after breaking up with his beloved Jane Foster.

Even if we don’t know the exact date of Thor and Jane’s breakup, it should be sometime in 2017 since Thor: Ragnarok takes place in late 2017. If we add 8 years, 7 months and 6 days. Counted by the God of Thunder, Thor: Love And Thunder must take place in 2025.

Which means that Thor: Love And Thunder takes place after the Hawkeye series, which takes place in Christmas 2024, and it should take place in the same year as the Moon Knight and Ms Marvel series, which are also in 2025. It’s impossible to pinpoint Thor: Love and Thunder at this point, but we can guess that it takes place in 2025, or even early 2026, depending on the exact date of the breakup between Thor and Jane.

It must be said that it is increasingly difficult to pinpoint the final films and the final series of the MCU, as the evolution of Phase IV is uncertain. We’ll have to wait for new elements to better understand where this new phase of the Marvel Universe is headed.
