A new trailer has been released for Thor: Love and Thunder - its funny, full of action and then dark and scary.

The trailer starts off as a bedtime story as told by Korg played by the movies director Taika Waititi, it then turns very dark as Gorr the God Butcher played by Christian Bale looking incredible appears.

This is clearly going to be dark in places, along with the usual Thor style comedy we've grown used to, and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster/Mighty Thor will kick ass.

There is also a new poster which you can see if you slide down the page a little.

The movie is released on July 8th 2022.

Taika Waititi has been in favour with Disney for a long time now and the mouse studio have hired the Oscar winning director to make the next Star Wars movie.

The whacky director who also brought us Thor Ragnarok and JoJo Rabbit will also bring us the next Thor film, Thor: Love And Thunder in 2022.

No word on any details other than the screenplay will be co-written by Oscar winner Krysty Wilson-Cairns, so a winning combination already.

Disney have pencilled in the first of a new Star Wars trilogy for December 16 2022, that was before the cinema closures due to COVID-19, but this could well fit that, with Waititi directing the rest if it succeeds at the box office.
