At the end of the movie, she dies in Thor's arms and awakens in Valhalla. So while the Mighty Thor does die, Thor himself is still alive and well at the end of the movie—and, as the final title card informs us, he'll be returning in future MCU projects.
The post-credits scene reveals, however, that having died in battle, both he and Jane make it to the Norse version of heaven, Valhalla. The post-credits scenes also reveal that Russell Crowe's comically accented Greek god Zeus survived his apparent death too.
Thor heads to New Asgard and gets the surprise of his life – his ex-flame Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has awoken his old hammer Mjolnir and given her the powers of Thor. Now known as the Mighty Thor, she protects New Asgard.
7 Thor's Death
During Ragnarok, Thor has an epic battle with the monstrous World Serpent, Jormungandr. The two battle to the death, and Thor provides a blow so powerful that it kills Jormungandr. However, Thor's injuries were too great, and he only took a few steps before succumbing to Jormungandr's venom, and he died.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Thor revealed that he was over 1500 years old. It's clear that age doesn't affect him the way it does normal mortals, as with most immortals, he is aging at a slower rate. While Thor will eventually die, it will take thousands of years for it to happen.
Thor is Immortal, Not Invincible
It's clear that age doesn't affect him the way it does normal mortals, as with most immortals, he is aging at a slower rate. While Thor will eventually die, it will take thousands of years for it to happen.
As of this moment, it's unknown if Thor: Love and Thunder will be the final movie in the Thor film series, but there is definitely scope for another. Without giving anything away, like most MCU movies, Thor 4 leaves the story open in a way that the writers could come back to it in the future.
Like almost all of the Norse gods, Thor is doomed to die at Ragnarök, the end of the world and twilight of the gods, but falls only after killing the great serpent with his powerful hammer Mjollnir, dying to its poison; his sons Magni and Modi survive Ragnarök along with a small number of other gods and inherit his ...
Thanos destroys everyone and everything on the ship. He takes the Tesseract (which has an Infinity Stone inside) from Loki and then chokes the god of mischief until he dies. “No do-overs this time,” Thanos tells Loki in that scene. From there, Loki is gone.
Thor arrives and has a big bust-up with Kratos, only for Odin to ultimately kill Thor. This happens after Thor and Kratos agree to stop fighting, a move that seemed to break the prophecy in which Kratos should've died. Odin is also killed, with Atreus deciding to trap Odin's soul in one of his magical marbles.
But this is a movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which means that Thor: Love and Thunder can't just end: It also has to look ahead. The film has not one but two end-credits scenes, with appearances by a few familiar faces.
Thor loses his eye during the earlier parts of the final battle sequence with this goddess. She casually and effortless beats him around the throne room, and then the moment happens. Hela strikes Thor across the face with her sword, literally slicing the eye from out his head right then and there. Brutal.
In fact, it didn't last beyond the first 15 minutes of Thor: Love and Thunder. But don't expect Chris Hemsworth's Asgardian hero to reunite with Peter Quill's team in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 next month. Because according to James Gunn, he never had a part in the sequel in the first place.
Jane Foster is Thor's latest successor, both in the comics and in the MCU. Mjölnir adopted Jane as its master in the midst of her battle with cancer.
With the possibility of an open spot earlier in Phase 6, we could see the next standalone Thor movie sooner than the four to five year gap we're expecting. We know that Deadpool 3 has already taken one of those spots, so the follow-up to Love and Thunder could well be post Secret Wars in 2026.
As one of the last of the original Avengers standing, and having already confronted some big villains like Thanos and Gorr, it makes sense that Thor could fight Kang in Avengers 5, but as Kang is unlike any other MCU villain, Thor's survival isn't guaranteed, and this has more chances of being his final battle.
Thanos only kills that pose a threat at the moment (e.g. Loki and Heimdall). Thanos views everyone as being reasonable and doesn't expect people to agree with his 1/2 the universe ideology, which is why he'll let Thor play the lottery and survive or die later.
In the aftermath of his failure, Thor had a new-found determination to kill Thanos and undo the Snap. The remaining Avengers converged on the Titan's home to find him wounded and the Infinity Stones destroyed. Seeking vengeance, Thor raised Stormbreaker and, with one fell swoop, beheaded Thanos.
The problem with a being as powerful as Thor is that he's always been able to power his way through things. Thanos is too smart for that sort of thing. If he isn't as powerful as a foe, he's come up with a way to defeat them.
Loki – Thor's archenemy and adoptive brother. The son of Laufey, ruler of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, one of the "Nine Worlds" of the Asgardian cosmology. He is a master of spellcasting and trickery.
Magni is subsequently killed by Kratos later in a battle, with Modi fleeing. Modi is later beaten by an enraged Thor for allowing his brother to perish, and is later killed by Kratos' son Atreus.
The hammer was used extensively by Thor as his primary weapon until it was destroyed by Hela in 2017. The broken pieces were eventually made into a tourist attraction in New Asgard.
Even without Hemsworth wanting to step down from the role, Marvel has been planning possible replacements for Thor for a while. As it stands, there are three potential candidates in the form of Love, a returning Mighty Thor, and an as-yet unseen Beta Ray Bill.
The actor currently is not contracted for any more Marvel movies. He really wants to do “some other stuff for a while,” but he'll return if it's a creatively rich opportunity. “I love the experience,” Hemsworth said. “I love the fact that I've been able to do something fairly different throughout the process.
While there is no character named "Love" raised by Thor in Marvel Comics, Thor does, in fact, have a daughter in an alternate reality with Lady Sif, though this child is named Torunn Thorsdóttir. Interestingly, Torunn translates to "Thor's love," so the name in Love & Thunder does have a connection to Marvel Comics.
