Chris Hemsworth returns as Thor in new ‘Avengers Doomsday’ teaser

The new ‘Avengers Doomsday’ teaser spotlights Chris Hemsworth’s Thor praying for his daughter before battle once more

Marvel has released the second teaser for Avengers Doomsday, and this time the focus is firmly on Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. Following last week’s reveal centred on Chris Evans’ Captain America, the latest footage shifts the emotional weight onto Thor as he prepares to return to battle while fearing for the safety of his adopted daughter.

The teaser opens in a quiet forest setting, far removed from the chaos typically associated with Avengers conflicts. Thor is seen alone, speaking to his late father Odin in a moment of reflection that highlights how much the character has changed since his earlier appearances. Rather than confidence or bravado, the tone is restrained and heavy, with Thor praying for strength and protection as he faces another world threatening confrontation.

Central to the teaser is Love, Thor’s adopted daughter who was introduced in Thor Love and Thunder. Brief glimpses show her older than audiences last saw her, resting peacefully as Thor kisses her forehead before leaving. The moment underlines what is now at stake for him. This is no longer just a fight to save the universe, but a battle that risks taking away the family he fought to build after years of loss.

Love’s story remains closely tied to tragedy. She is the child of Gorr the God Butcher, whose own unanswered prayers drove him into villainy. In his final moments, Gorr entrusted Thor with raising Love as his own, a promise that reshaped Thor’s purpose. The teaser quietly reminds viewers of that vow, positioning Love as Thor’s emotional anchor as the Avengers assemble once again.

Hemsworth was confirmed earlier this year as part of the sprawling Avengers Doomsday cast, which brings together characters from across Marvel’s cinematic history. Thor is set to stand alongside Captain America, Loki, Ant Man, Black Panther allies and members of the Fantastic Four and X Men universes as they face Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.

Online reaction to the teaser has been immediate, with fans praising its intimate tone and focus on Thor’s inner conflict. Many noted how the teaser frames Thor not as a god of thunder, but as a father confronting the cost of heroism. Social media discussion has centred on Love’s expanded role and whether her safety will survive the events of Doomsday.
