Chris Hemsworth's Thor is back in a new *Avengers: Doomsday* teaser that features the return of the thunder god's adopted daughter Love, played by the actor's real-life child India Rose Hemsworth.

Bootleg video captured of the teaser inside movie theaters already leaked online, but in the age of AI and deepfakes, this is the first official look confirming its validity.

"Father, all my life I've answered every call, to honor, duty, to war," Thor says. "But now fate has given me something I never sought: a child, a life untouched by the storm. Lend me the strength of the All Fathers so that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her — and not as a warrior but as warmth, to teach her not battle but stillness, the kind I never knew."

He concludes, "Please, father. Hear my words."

This Thor clip is the second of multiple *Avengers: Doomsday* teasers that will screen in cinemas alongside showings of Disney's *Avatar: Fire and Ash*.

The first confirmed the return of another Hollywood Chris (Evans) as Steve Rogers, despite all of the actor's past comments to the contrary. Another teaser will allegedly feature some of the original X-Men actors, including James Marsden as Cyclops, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Ian McKellen as Magneto.

India Rose Hemsworth made her debut as Love in 2022's *Thor: Love and Thunder*. The character is the biological daughter of Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher who died and was later resurrected. Before his own death on screen, Gorr left Love in the care of Thor.

Joe and Anthony Russo, the directing duo who delivered Marvel's most lucrative installments, are back at the helm of *Avengers: Doomsday*, which also sees the comeback of Robert Downey Jr. as the comic book baddie Victor Von Doom, a.k.a. Doctor Doom.
