The latest Marvel Studios outing Thor: Love And Thunder is currently in cinemas and ruling fans' hearts. The film marked the return of Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder Thor after the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame. The movie saw Natalie Portman reprise her role as Jane Foster after almost a decade, Tessa Thompson play Valkyrie and Christian Bale star as Gorr, the god butcher.

While the movie also saw cameos of the Guardians Of The Galaxy team, which has now fueled excitement among fans as they were hoping to see Hemsworth's Thor in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. However, James Gunn recently cleared the air and shared a disappointing update on the cameo. 

In a clip from My Mom's Basement With Robbie Fox podcast, Clem talked about Thor's cameo in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. He expressed his frustration over James Gunn's return to helming Marvel Studios' films and claimed that it prevented Thor's adventures in the upcoming instalment of Guardians Of The Galaxy and being placed into Taika Waititi's latest Thor: Love And Thunder.

James Gunn recently took to his Twitter handle to respond to the claims and clear the air about Hemsworth's cameo. The filmmaker replied to one of the clips from the podcast and penned, "I appreciate the love but Thor was never going to be in Vol 3." As per The Direct, Gunn had previously revealed that he did not have much input on Thor: Love And Thunder. However, he did consult Guardians Of The Galaxy stars and exchanged scripts with Taia Waititi during the process.
