After the events of Avengers: Endgame, the god of thunder, who was left with the Guardians of the Galaxy squad, decided to embark on the self-exploring journey to 'figure out' who he really is. Reflecting the energetic beats of Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine playing in the background, Thor takes destiny into his own hands and retires from fighting. 

Star-lord Peter Quill, played by Chris Pratt, is briefly seen guiding the god of thunder to find a way. On the other hand, fans get a glimpse into Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie along with Guardians of the Galaxy's Groot, Nebula, Drax the Destroyer and Mantis. 

However, the best was saved for the last as Marvel fanatics finally got a detailed look at the powerful return of Jane Foster who has not become worthy of Thor's hammer Mjolnir. Check out the Thor: Love and Thunder teaser below.
