Thor: Love and Thunder cast takes over late-night TV this week
By Matt Moore
Thor: Love and Thunder is ready to rock the Marvel Cinematic Universe as fans get their first look at a post-Endgame Thor. The cast of the film will be out in full force this week, promoting the movie on late-night TV.
Coming off the success of the wildly popular Thor: Ragnarok, the new Thor: Love and Thunder should further prove that Chris Hemsworth‘s God of Thunder has what it takes to carry a solo movie. It’s hard to imagine that being the case after the so-so Thor: The Dark World.
Marvel movies rarely need much hyping to get fans’ attention. However, not every MCU movie boasts a cast as charismatic and popular as Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s no surprise that the stars of the movie will be all over late-night TV starting on Wednesday night.
Thor: Love and Thunder cast members visit two shows on Wednesday
First up, catch Tessa Thompson on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night. The Valkyrie actor will sit down with guest host Sean Hayes to discuss her return to the MCU.
At the same time, the movie’s director and Thompson’s co-star Taika Waititi will be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Waititi returns to the director’s chair after Ragnarok and also reprises his role as Korg.
Chris Hemsworth makes his late-night TV appearance on Thursday
Chris Hemsworth leads the all-star cast of heroes against Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher. Fans can hear the actor’s take on Thor: Love and Thunder on Thursday when he stops by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
On the same night, Jeff Goldblum will be on The Late Late Show with James Corden. While Goldblum does have Jurrasic World: Dominion to promote, he also has reason to discuss Love and Thunder. The veteran actor reprises his role as the Grandmaster from Ragnarok.
Close out your late-night TV week with Thor: Love and Thunder’s new hero
It’s fitting that Thor: Love and Thunder week wraps up with the spotlight on Natalie Portman. The Oscar winner returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after an extended absence, ready to reunite with Thor and fans alike. Catch her on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday night.
It’s no secret that Portman’s character Jane Foster will take on the title of the Mighty Thor. Expect her conversation with Sean Hayes to cover why she agreed to return before discussing the training she took on to become a Marvel superhero.
