Chris Hemsworth's Thor wields Stormbreaker in a new piece of merchandise for Thor: Love and Thunder. After the success of Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel Studios moved quickly to get Hemsworth and director Taika Waititi back together for another Thor film. The fourth entry in the franchise was later confirmed in 2019 and is set after Thor's emotional journey during Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. These two films advanced the God of Thunder's story in surprising ways that Thor: Love and Thunder now must continue.
One such example is how Thor went to build Stormbreaker in Avengers: Infinity War after losing Mjolnir in Thor: Ragnarok. The third solo film explained that Thor's power always came from him, and not the magical hammer, which is why many fans were surprised to see him craft a new weapon to kill Thanos in his very next appearance. Part of Avengers: Endgame's story even saw Thor learn that he was still worthy to wield Mjolnir and use it and Stormbreaker in the finale. Mjolnir is returning in Thor: Love and Thunder - likely to explain Jane Foster's transformation into Mighty Thor - but Thor's primary weapon will still be Stormbreaker it appears.
A new piece of promo art for Thor: Love and Thunder has surfaced online showing Thor wield Stormbreaker. The piece of merchandise comes from Twitter user @Adam_Khan100 who shared that this art was on a shirt given to crew members of Thor 4. The movie recently wrapped production in Australia ahead of its May 2022 release date.
This new Thor: Love and Thunder art is quite similar to the look that Hemsworth had in his post celebrating the end of filming. He didn't have Stormbreaker in his hands at that point, and the giant ax was only briefly seen during production. The shirt marks the return of the red vest Hemsworth wore in the first Thor 4 set photos that generated comparisons to Thunderstrike. The bandages Thor is wearing around his wrists and legs are a new detail, though, and draws similarities between him and a boxer. That could be a subtle way for this art to tease just how many fights Thor will be involved in during Thor: Love and Thunder.
Since filming is complete on Thor: Love and Thunder, fans will likely have to wait a while to get more looks at the movie. A trailer could arrive by the end of the year but Hemsworth's frequent social media teases should become more sparse since he's not on set anymore. The teases of Thor: Love and Thunder that have arrived so far have been quite exciting, but there is also plenty that we've yet to see that official marketing materials can highlight instead.
