Avengers 4: Endgame Trailer Breakdown - 12 Things You Need To See
8. Where Is Thor?
Marvel Studios
Although Bruce Banner's whereabouts are accounted for, one Avenger who seemingly isn't is the Odinson himself, Thor. The last we saw of the character he had just plunged Stormbreaker through Thanos' chest, but with the knowledge that he could've prevented everything had he just aimed for the head sure to be burying a deep hole in his mind, we can expect the emotional toll wrought on the character to have a heavy impact in some way.
For now, Thor appears to be biding his time in some Earthly facility. We say Earth, well, because it doesn't look particularly alien in origin, and he's wearing civilian clothes. As for what he's doing, it certainly doesn't look as though he's with the rest of the Avengers, and has potentially even consigned himself to a self-imposed exile in the wake of Infinity War's ending.
Chris Hemsworth's performance in Infinity War intimated that all the character had gone through during the last couple of years was beginning to prove a little too much, so it may be wise to expect this most battle-hardened of Avengers to hang up his hammer once the film commences.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
