It\u2019s also a movie with two after-credits teases that hint at future Thor storylines \u2013 and we\u2019ve broken them down for you below.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t seen the ending of Thor: Love and Thunder<\/a> yet then look away now, but if you have seen it, for Gods\u2019 sake (see what we did there) keep reading.<\/p> The first after-credits scene picks up with Russell Crowe\u2019s Greek God Zeus, who Thor and his friends clashed with earlier in the film. The good news? Thor didn\u2019t kill him after all! The bad news? Now he\u2019s out for revenge.<\/p>\n \u201cIt used to be that being a God, it meant something,\u201d Zeus complains in a darkened room, noting that the pantheon of various deities has been replaced in the hearts of people by colourful superheroes.<\/p>\n \u201cNo more \u2013 they will fear us again, when Thor Odinson falls from the sky,\u201d Zeus continues. \u201cDo you understand me, Hercules my son?\u201d<\/p>\n Cut to Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein debuting as Hercules! \u201cYes father!\u201d he replies, cradling a mace in menacing fashion (as if there\u2019s any other way to cradle a mace).<\/p>\n This scene appears to set up a future conflict between the Gods \u2013 possibly in a future Thor movie, possibly in an earlier team-up \u2013 and also introduces Hercules, a longstanding character in Marvel comics only now making the jump to the MCU.<\/p>\n Like Thor, the Hercules of the comics is based on the God of myth, and has regularly joined up with heroic groups like the Avengers and the Champions to battle villainy across decades of stories. He often spars with or has a rivalry with Thor, and it looks like the MCU is drawing on that tradition for Goldstein\u2019s version of the character.<\/p>\n Anyway it\u2019s a very fun casting for a great character, and we\u2019re sure fans will enjoy seeing Goldstein in action \u2013 however and whenever that actually ends up happening onscreen.<\/p>\n The second post-credits scene picks up after (spoiler!) Jane Foster\u2019s death during the main events of the film. After dissolving into glowing dust in the final battle with Gorr, Jane rematerializes beside some unusual gates in a beautiful, wide-open world.<\/p>\n She\u2019s in Valhalla \u2013 the traditional resting place of Norse Gods and warriors who die in battle. And there to greet her is Idris Elba\u2019s Heimdall, last seen being killed off in Avengers: Infinity War.<\/p>\n \u201cJane Foster \u2013 I see you\u2019re dead now,\u201d he tells her, thanking Jane for helping his son Axel\/Astrid survive Gorr\u2019s imprisonment.<\/p>\n \u201cWelcome to Valhalla.\u201d<\/p>\n The scene ends there with the onscreen message \u201cThor will return\u201d \u2013 but which Thor? While we would have assumed Hemsworth\u2019s Thor would be back in action again, the message\u2019s proximity to a scene starring the film\u2019s other<\/em> Thor, Jane, could imply she\u2019ll somehow be back herself.<\/p>\n \u201cBut she\u2019s dead,\u201d you may cry \u2013 but who\u2019s to say that stops anything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Maybe this tease of Valhalla could hint at a story set there with other deceased god-types, possibly tying in with an upcoming Marvel Project (Loki season two is currently filming, after all).<\/p>\n Or maybe it\u2019s just a nice send-off for Jane, and the \u201cThor will return\u201d message is exactly as it first appears. Either way, we\u2019ll be watching the future of the franchise with interest\u2026<\/p>\n Thor: Love and Thunder is in UK cinemas now.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out more of our Sci-Fi<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
