Marvel fans may finally exhale a breath of pleasure as the first preview trailer for Thor: 4. But also the trailer fueling speculation that it would be Chris Hemsworth’s final MCU appearance. Chris Hemsworth has stated that he will not be departing the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet the Thor 4 trailer contains multiple scenes that make it appear to be his final Marvel film.
Avengers: Endgame, which debuted in April 2019 and played a pivotal role for the original six Avengers, was probably the last film in the MCU to star the big six. While Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye were mostly phased out of the game, only Thor and the Hulk remain as active characters.

Thor has altered dramatically since his journey in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Thor neglected to go for the crown when striking Thanos with Stormbreaker in what is now an eternal moment, and in his opinion, was his own fault that Thanos’ snap even happened. Feeling liable for the death of half of the universe’s existence is a heavy burden to carry. It takes a toll on Thor.
What did Thor 4 actor say about his final MCU appearance?
Whereas Thor was ultimately a part of the victory over Thanos in Endgame, he’s not the same character he was well before the Titan’s first defeat. The MCU is ready to say goodbye to Thor, although actor Chris Hemsworth insists he isn’t leaving. As the teaser trailer for Thor 4, appears to be trying its best to set the stage for Thor’s leave, the God of Thunder is making it evident that he no longer wishes to be a superhero in MCU.
Thor will probably not be a peaceful man for most of Thor 4 since he is still the primary character in the picture. If Marvel Studios wants to pull off a stunning ending, Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher is probably a villain who could conceivably pull it off. Even if Thor defeats Gorr, he is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of Steve Rogers and quit. It’ll be intriguing to see if Hemsworth intends to stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Thor 4.
Thor: Love and Thunder will release on July 8, 2022.
