The second teaser for Avengers: Doomsday has now been released, and this time the teaser focuses on the character whose name was revealed first during the casting announcement. That alone is enough to show how important Thor is going to be in Avengers: Doomsday.
This teaser gives us a lot of insight into Thor’s journey so far and the destiny that lies ahead of him. Even though the teaser is very short, that’s exactly what makes its breakdown so important. The points I’m about to discuss might genuinely surprise you. In fact, I’m a little worried that in Avengers: Doomsday, we may see our God of Thunder not only in his most powerful form—but possibly for the last time as well. I have some very strong reasons for saying this.
So without any delay, let’s begin.
The teaser opens with a shot of Thor standing in the middle of a forest. One noticeable detail here is that Thor’s hair is short again, just like it was in Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War.
However, it’s hard to say exactly how long after the events of Thor: Love and Thunder this scene takes place, because here we see Thor holding Stormbreaker—even though at the end of Love and Thunder, we saw him start using Mjolnir again.
Yet in this teaser, Stormbreaker has clearly returned to his hands.
Thor then drops to his knees and begins praying to the All-Father.
In this prayer, Thor says: “O All-Father, I have lived my entire life without turning my back on honor, duty, or battle. But fate gave me something I never expected—a daughter. So grant me the strength of the All-Fathers, so that I may fight once more. So that I may defeat one more enemy and return to my daughter. Not as a warrior, but as a protector—so I can teach her peace, not war. The peace I never felt in my own life. Please accept my prayer.”
During this entire prayer, we see a few shots of Thor and Love, together. What’s interesting is that the room they are in doesn’t look like the home we saw at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder. This suggests that the location is somewhere else. It could be a house in New Asgard, or perhaps Thor has hidden Love somewhere safe—away from Doctor Doom and the coming war.
After the prayer ends, we get a close-up shot of Thor’s face, and we can clearly see tears in his eyes. The teaser then ends with the Doomsday clock.
Now let’s talk about some important points related to this teaser.
First, the Russo Brothers’ touch. This teaser firmly establishes one thing: Thor is back in his serious form. As we all know, Taika Waititi turned Thor’s character into almost a godly joke, and that crossed its limits in Thor: Love and Thunder.
But we also know how the Russo Brothers handle Thor. Their moments with him are still legendary among fans—whether it was Thor threatening Thanos, telling Rocket that Thanos was just another name on his enemy list, or his iconic Wakanda entry followed by nearly killing Thanos.
The Russo Brothers always present Thor with the glory and weight that a true God of Thunder deserves. And this teaser brings back that same serious, grave tone. Thor’s voice once again carries depth and intensity.
So you can breathe a sigh of relief—Thor won’t be treated as a joke anymore. In fact, we might witness Thor’s most glorious and powerful moments against Doctor Doom. And honestly, Thor deserves that.
Now let’s move to the second point: the Love angle.
In the very first shot of the teaser, we see Thor with Stormbreaker—even though we know Thor gave Stormbreaker to Love. So why does Thor have it again?
There are only two possibilities: either something has happened to Love, or the events of Doomsday are directly affecting her.
There’s a strong reason behind this theory. In Thor: Love and Thunder, when Gorr reaches Eternity, he uses his wish to bring his daughter back to life. When Love appears, her original form looks like an astral body—exactly matching Eternity’s design. This suggests that Love carries the essence of Eternity itself.
After Love manifests, Eternity disappears. This implies that Eternity may have transferred its entire life essence into Love’s form.
Now in Doomsday, we know incursions are spreading across the multiverse. Eternity is essentially the manifestation of the entire Marvel multiverse. If the multiverse collapses due to incursions, Eternity will end as well—because the end of the multiverse means the end of Eternity.
And since Love carries Eternity’s essence, the destruction of the multiverse would drain her life force too. If the multiverse completely collapses, Love would automatically die.
This is a solid reason why Thor has returned to a serious, darker mindset. He has lost everyone he ever loved at some point. And now, he will not allow himself to lose the child he considers his daughter—especially not because of any incursion or Doctor Doom.
Now let’s move to the next point: the greatest hero of the multiverse.
Avengers: Doomsday is a story where every character has their own journey. But for Thor, this journey is deeply personal. This time, Thor isn’t just fighting as the protector of the Nine Realms—he’s fighting as a father.
Marvel has been heavily focusing on parental love lately. Whether it’s Wanda, or Sue Storm being ready to push even Galactus for her child. So for his daughter, Thor would absolutely step up to defeat even a multiversal conqueror.
We all know Thor is someone who, even after losing everything, still believes deep down that he can defeat whoever he sets his mind against. He brought Thanos to his knees in Infinity War. And this time, he has an even bigger reason to fight.
But that’s also what scares me.
If, in the Avengers vs Doctor Doom battle, Thor ends up being the last man standing—then we might be seeing him for the final time. If you remember the ending of comic Time Runs Out, Thor refuses to back down even after facing an enemy billions of times more powerful than himself. Laughing in the face of defeat, he charges alone into an army of Beyonders—and that’s where his story ends.
If the Russo Brothers plan something similar—where instead of the Beyonders, it’s Doctor Doom at the peak of his power, and Thor stands alone against him—it’s possible Thor will once again be the last man standing and fight one final battle, drawing inspiration directly from the comics.
And why not? After all, Chris Hemsworth’s name was revealed first in the cast announcement, while Robert Downey Jr.’s name as Doom was revealed last. Watching the first and last revealed characters go head-to-head in a one-on-one battle would be absolutely incredible.
Yes, it sounds dramatic and a bit sad. But trust me—God Emperor Doom at the end of this movie will be at a power level that even Thor might not be able to handle.
That said, I want to point out one more thing. We see Thor praying to the All-Father here—he looks desperate and troubled. But in the comics, when this happened, it led to Thor’s most powerful form ever: Rune King Thor.

So friends, that was the breakdown of the Avengers: Doomsday Thor teaser. Now tell me—can you imagine Thor fighting Doom with both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker? Or an even more epic moment—Thor finally reuniting with his brother Loki?
