Some time after Avengers: Endgame, Thor's attempt to find himself while journeying with the Guardians of the Galaxy is interrupted by a distress signal from Sif (Jaimie Alexander), who warns him of Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the death of all gods. To battle this new threat, Thor leaves the Guardians to return to New Asgard on Earth and reunites with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman returning after her absence from Thor: Ragnarok), and also seeks the aid of other gods like Zeus (Russell Crowe).


 * Alien Blood: Olympians bleed gold, like the ichor in the Greek myths.
 * Big Bad: Gorr and his slaughtering of the gods is the primary source on conflict. The main plot involves avoiding him of gaining access to a means to slaughtering all gods at once, which he seeks because he realised he would never kill all of them before even a natural death as their number given the size of the universe is on likely trillions.
 * Disappears Into Light: What happens to all gods, not just Odin as shown in Ragnarok, when they die.
 * Do Not Call Me "Paul": Heimdall's son insists on being known as Axl rather than his birth Gender Blender Name of Astrid.
 * Eucatastrophe:
 * Framing Device: The film is presented as a story told by Korg.
 * Heroic Sacrifice:
 * Irony: For all of his power and anti-theist declarations, Gorr's plan involves going to Eternity, basically a God of Gods, and wish for it to undo all the other called gods. In other words, a prayer.
 * Light Is Not Good: Deathly pale and wearing a white robe, Gorr seeks the death of all gods.
 * Losing Your Head:
 * Put on a Bus: The Guardians of the Galaxy end up departing from the film quite early on.
 * Villain Opening Scene: The film starts with Gorr's Start of Darkness.
