Director Taika Waititi is teasing Thor: Love and Thunder's ending ahead of the movie's release, saying fans should expect the unexpected. Chris Hemsworth returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Phase 4 for a record fourth solo film. It reteams him with Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi after the two reinvented the god of thunder by injecting him with a more comedic tone. Thor: Love and Thunder continues Thor's story after Avengers: Endgame, where audiences saw him leave Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy in search of figuring out who he is.
There is plenty of excitement from fans to see what Thor: Love and Thunder brings to the MCU. The transformation of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster becoming Mighty Thor is among the most anticipated elements, while Christan Bale's debut as Gorr the God Butcher has been praised. Early Thor: Love and Thunder reviews are mostly positive (albeit a bit mixed), but the real conversation around the movie will begin in a few days once it is released worldwide. Only then will audiences start discussing the spoilers, including the film's MCU setup and ending.
Ahead of Thor: Love and Thunder's theatrical release, director Taika Waititi spoke to Empire (via The Direct) about the movie as part of the outlet's coverage of the MCU Phase 4 movie. This included Waititi briefly teasing the end of this story and what it could mean for the future. According to him, Thor: Love and Thunder's ending is unexpected, so much so that it might not even directly set up Chris Hemsworth's next Marvel movie.
How Thor: Love and Thunder ends is one of the many questions audiences cannot wait to discover once the movie releases in theaters. The finale probably revolves around Thor and Mighty Thor teaming up to fight Gorr, while Valkyrie is also likely to be involved in some fashion. -Collider
