​

BURBANK, CA (August 25, 2022) – Marvel Studios’ beloved hero returns for a classic Thor adventure. Described as “emotional, exciting, and downright funny as hell” (Ben Kendrick, Screen Rant), Thor: Love and Thunder arrives on Digital September 8 and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD September 27. Fans can add the film to their Marvel Studios’ movie collection and access exclusive bonus content including deleted scenes, a gag reel and audio commentary by legendary filmmaker Taika Waititi. Thor: Love and Thunder will also stream on Disney+ September 8.

Film Synopsis
Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder finds the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – one of self-discovery. But his efforts are interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

Directed by Taika Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Jojo Rabbit”), from a screenplay by Waititi & Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, Thor: Love and Thunder was produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum.

Is there artwork yet for the standard Blu-ray? Disney usually does different artwork for the standard Blu-ray edition as opposed to the 4K set. But I haven't seen what the Blu-ray looks like yet.

I am normally a big MCU fan. But this was the second consecutive film to disappoint me after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. They have been much more inconsistent lately than normal over there. Still, I have all the others so I'm sure I'll get it.

Considering the amount of footage we know was cut out of this film, they could include a lot more than four deleted scenes. However, this looks like a fairly standard slate of Marvel extras. The lack of more isn't a surprise.

Thanks. That is essentially the film's poster, and I actually like the Blu-ray artwork better than the 4K one. Last year with Shang-Chi and recently with Lightyear, I thought the artwork for the 4K release was far superior to the standard edition. I'm glad it worked out in my favor this time because the Blu-ray is all I need.

I love how the promotional blurb just says "One of the most visually stunning movies" ... and makes no reference to the actual quality of the movie.

I liked it, but the unusual visuals are definitely one of the selling points, especially, one would assume, in 4K.
