'Thor: Love and Thunder' full trailer drops

Jane Foster wields the hammer, Thor gets his goats and Gorr the God Butcher vows to kill them all in the first full trailer for Marvel Studios' "Thor: Love and Thunder," which dropped online Monday after debuting during Game 4 of the Boston Celtics-Miami Heat NBA Eastern Conference final.

On a primordial world, Thor's alien buddy Korg (voice of director and co-writer Taika Waititi) speaks with blue-skinned children in a cave: "Kids, get the popcorn out. Let me tell you the story of the space Viking, Thor Odinson." In evident flashback, the Norse god superhero (Chris Hemsworth) appears in everyday human clothes, facing an off-screen enemy attacking that blue-skinned race. "He was no ordinary man," Korg continues, as the ax Stormbreaker brings down lightning. "He was a god."

Cut to New Asgard in Norway, briefly glimpsed in last month's teaser trailer, where cruise ships now bring tourists to this resettlement of Thor's displaced Asgardian people. Elsewhere, Thor Odinson and Korg stand alongside two immense goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, aka Teeth-barer and Teeth-grinder, who in Norse mythology pull Thor's chariot — or in this case ship — across the cosmos and to Olympus, home of the Greek gods.

After an exercise montage with the formerly depressed and overweight Thor Odinson going "from dad bod to god bod," he appears in warrior regalia fighting giant spidery creatures. The Norse god momentarily rejoices when he sees that his mystical hammer Mjölnir — destroyed by his evil sister Hela in the previous film, "Thor: Ragnarok" — is now intact, albeit severely cracked. But it flies not to him but to his ex-girlfriend, astrophysicist Jane Foster (Jericho-raised Natalie Portman), whom the hammer has deemed worthy to be the new Thor.

"What's it been, like three, four years?" Jane asks him. "Eight years, seven months and six days, give or take," he replies — not quite, but close to the time since the Nov. 8, 2013, release of "Thor: The Dark World," the last time he saw her.

Amid other moments in the 2¼-minute trailer, Christian Bale's Gorr intones, "The only ones who gods care about is themselves. So this is my vow: All gods will die." And more lightheartedly, Zeus (Russell Crowe), on a dais above a shackled Thor, flicks his finger to blow away Thor's heavy robes. "You flicked too hard, damn it!" an exposed Thor yells at him as various courtiers faint.

The film, also starring Tessa Thompson and featuring the "Guardians of the Galaxy" cast, is set for release July 8.
