What is the plot for Thor 4?
The official plot synopsis for the film reads:
‘The film finds Thor on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a search for self-discovery. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher, who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, 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.’
The film is directed by Taika Waititi, returning to helm the superhero tentpole after having directed Ragnarok and winning an Oscar for his film Jojo Rabbit.

Chris Hemsworth does of course return as the titular Thor, but as the plot synopsis above suggests, he will not be the only person to wield the power of Thor.
