The moment underscores a quieter, more vulnerable side of the once-brash warrior. At the core of Thor’s plea was his longing to return home to his adopted daughter, Love. Introduced at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder, Love represents the life Thor never expected to have, a future beyond endless wars. Stormbreaker also features prominently in the teaser, recalling its last appearance in Love’s hands. The character is portrayed by Hemsworth’s real-life daughter.Thor’s prayer forms the emotional centerpiece of the teaser, as he asks for the strength to fight one last time - not for glory, but for the chance to return home and teach his daughter peace instead of battle.
