How Does Mjolnir Return In Thor 4? Every Love & Thunder Theory
A set video from Thor: Love & Thunder reveals Mjolnir is returning - but how? Here are all the possible explanations for the hammer reappearing.
Thor: Love & Thunder apparently features the return of Thor's enchanted hammer, Mjolnir - and here are all the theories explaining how it could have returned. In 2017, Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok effectively relaunched the Thor franchise. The previous faux-Shakespearian approach had never resonated well with viewers, and Marvel trusted Waititi to reinvent it from the ground up.
Waititi followed a simple formula: out with the old, in with the new. Odin the All-Father passed away, Lady Sif was nowhere to be found, the Warriors Three were unceremoniously slaughtered, and Asgard itself - which Waititi just wasn't interested in - was destroyed. In the most striking and memorable scene of all, even Thor's enchanted hammer Mjolnir was shattered when it was caught by Thor's never-before-seen sister Hela. And yet, for all Marvel was clearly delighted with Thor: Ragnarok's performance, they swiftly seemed to backtrack on some of those creative decisions. It didn't take long for Thor to be wilding a new weapon, Stormbreaker, and Mjolnir even returned in Avengers: Endgame courtesy of time travel. It was taken back to its proper place in the timeline by Steve Rogers at the end of the film, as he trimmed most of the branches the Avengers had created during their quest for the Infinity Stones.
