[UPBEAT MUSIC]
What's up, everybody?
I'm Langston Belton, and I am joined by the cast and director
of Marvel Studios' Thor--
Love and Thunder.
What's up, everybody?
Well, it is a bit of an understatement
to say that we are all very excited for this movie.
And we know that it picks up at a very critical
moment for these characters.
So what can you tell us about your characters
at the start of the film?
I think my character at the start of the film is
looking for peace, and solitude, and [LAUGHS]
some inner stillness.
I think she's seeking answers.
His daughter and his religion.
I think at the beginning of the film,
she really loves her people, loves Asgard,
loves being their leader.
But she really is missing the feeling of being in battle
and that sort of adventure.
Ooh, well, hopefully everybody finds that spark of adventure.
Now when you were bringing this story to life,
what was the most fun direction that you received as actors?
And Taika, what was your favorite direction to give?
I mean, I guess--
I suppose the most fun kind of part
that I do is just when I play music and just
get them to kind of feel their way
through the scene with music.
He would send me different tracks,
and I would send him tracks.
And we enjoyed sort of dancing our own interpretations
to each other of how Gorr would dance.
So that was actually, for me, the most fun.
But nobody will ever see it.
The most fun direction Taika gave me on set
was, don't do that again.
That sucks.
Try something different.
[LAUGHS]
He was asking me to smash things a lot.
There was a period where Mighty Thor
was just smashing everything, and that was pretty fun.
All right, everyone.
Are you're ready to bring the thunder?
Because it is time for the lightning round.
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
All right, first up.
Asgard or New Asgard?
I'd say New Asgard, because old Asgard--
[IMITATES EXPLOSION] is gone.
It's been destroyed.
New Asgard.
Asgard.
Stormbreaker or Mjolnir?
Whoa.
That's like choosing between your children, isn't it?
It's a tough one. - Mjolnir.
Yeah, I like Stormbreaker.
[LAUGHS]
Mjolnir.
I feel like Mjolnir has moved on,
so I'm gonna stick with Stormbreaker.
Korg or Miek?
Korg.
Korg's my bro.
He's my buddy.
He's my BFF.
Miek.
[LAUGHS]
Toothgnasher or Toothgrinder?
[LAUGHS] Toothgrinder because I do a lot of that, you know,
especially in my sleep.
Ah, Toothgnasher.
Silent G wins.
Armor or casual clothes?
Oh, god, casual clothes.
Let me tell you something about armor.
Ever tried fighting in a cape or doing anything in a cape?
You trip over it constantly.
So casual clothes, hands down.
Casual clothes.
Casual.
Casual clothes, actually.
Fighting in casual clothes.
It's more dangerous.
Team player or fly solo?
Team player.
Ah, team player.
No, I think Thor enjoys the collaboration,
as do I. It takes the pressure off one's self.
Team player.
Goats or boats?
Goats.
Boats.
Well, boats don't give you cheese, do they?
Infinity Stones or Infinity Cones?
The Infinity Stones cause more trouble than they're worth.
I'd say Infinity Cones.
Delicious.
Infinity Cones.
[LAUGHS]
Infinity Cones.
And last but not least, we got to ask, love or thunder?
Love.
Aw.
Well, thank you all for playing along.
And last but not least, I always want
to know, what are you most excited
for fans to see in this film?
I think we haven't seen the romantic comedy
set in space, in an intergalactic adventure
like this.
So I can't wait for people to see it.
I'm really excited for fans to see Natalie as Mighty Thor.
I just think that she's so brilliant in this
and is such an exciting, you know, new addition to the MCU
in terms of being Miss Superhero,
and so I'm really excited for fans to see her.
I'm most excited for fans to see
the unexpected definitions of love that come into the movie.
It's not all just romantic love.
I think we've raised the bar again.
And I'm so, so proud of it, and thrilled, and excited
for people to check it out.
I'm most excited for fans to see
the ticket stub that they're holding
when they go and buy a ticket.
Nice.
Well, thank you all so much for joining me.
And hey, Taika said it best.
Go buy your tickets now, and do not
miss Marvel Studios's Thor--
Love and Thunder when it hits theaters July 8th.
