Thor's new armor throws up a major Asgard plot hole issue ahead of Thor: Love and Thunder's summer release date. Excitement is steadily building for Taika Waititi's latest Thor installment, with an official new look at Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) new sets of armor revealed online. These latest promotional images immediately create a plot hole for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, however, with Asgard's destruction in the penultimate scene of ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ already asking testing questions of Waititi's latest project.
While exact plot details for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ remain under wraps, the upcoming MCU installment is confirmed to take place following the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’. Teasers for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ have already confirmed Jane Foster will make her long-awaited transition into Mighty Thor, with the aforementioned armor leaks showing her worthy of wielding Mjolnir itself. Although it is currently unclear how Jane will become a new God of Thunder, it will likely involve defeating Christian Bale's menacing new villain: Gorr, The God Butcher.
Images of Thor's new armor have revealed a major Asgard plot hole for Thor: Love and Thunder to contend with. Primarily sculpted from Asgardian steel, Thor's armor requires forging on his homeworld, a feat made impossible by Asgard's destruction at the end of ‘Thor: Ragnarok’. This inevitably throws up the question as to how Thor has obtained his fresh set of armor, with New Asgard seemingly unequipped to create Asgardian steel judging by its currently limited appearances within the MCU.
The destruction of Asgard inevitably closes the door to many of the Norse kingdom's riches and technologies seen throughout the first three phases of the MCU.
