‘These hands were once used for battle,’ as Thor narrates. ‘Now they’re but humble tools for peace. I need to figure out exactly who I am.
‘I want to choose my own path, live in the moment.’
Unveiling a fitness montage and return to his prime physique – alongside a new ‘Rock Thor’ outfit of band T-shirt and cut-off jacket – there’s travelling, smooching and plenty of old-school Thor in his traditional full regalia, despite his insistence that his ‘superhero days are over’.

Also joining the cast is Christian Bale as villain Gorr the God Butcher, but it looks like we’ll have to sit tight a little longer before we get a proper look at his character.
Thor: Love and Thunder is set to release in cinemas on July 8.
