The Hollywood Reporter wasn’t wrong
when the outlet reported that
Thor: Love and Thunder
would have
“an Avengers 5 feel,”
considering all the characters that have been slowly confirmed to be joining the cast. Even
Tessa Thompson hinted at this
expanded and familiar cast when she said that
“some folks potentially from other pockets of the MCU”
would be showing up in Thor’s fourth outing.
Thus far, it has been apparent through arrivals to the
Love and Thunder
set in Australia that
Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill
,
Pom Klementieff’s Mantis
,
Dave Bautista’s Drax
, and Karen Gillan’s Nebula would be joining the film. Only
Pratt has been outright confirmed
to be starring alongside Chris Hemsworth, but Gillan has now confirmed her involvement in a recent post on social media.

Karen Gillan has confirmed through
Instagram stories
(via
Digital Spy
) that her joining
Thor: Love and Thunder
as Nebula is the
“Real deal!”
when asked about whether she was wearing another wig for the role.
“This is my hair, I cut it the other day in preparation for Nebula so that we don’t have to get so much hair into the bald cap because I have so much hair. It’s unbelievable, like, it’s just so thick.”

WHAT THIS MEANS
Essentially every member of the Guardians is now confirmed for
Thor: Love and Thunder
besides Bradley Cooper’s Rocket Raccoon. However, Cooper can provide the voice easily enough off-site in a completely different country and James Gunn’s brother Sean Gunn was also seen arriving in Australia.

The younger Gunn has provided the motion capture for all of Rocket’s appearances in the MCU up to this point, so fans should expect news of Rocket joining the cast soon. If Vin Diesel is indeed there for Groot, then his feral father figure shouldn’t be too far behind.
What role these band of former criminals will play in
Thor: Love and Thunder
is anyone’s guess, since the movie was initially pitched to fans at San Diego Comic-Con as the reintroduction of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster and Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie being in search of a queen, after being made King of New Asgard at the end of
Avengers: Endgame
.
It likely has to do with
the villain Gorr
possibly being too much for Thor and his allies alone, hence the extra help from the Guardians of the Galaxy.
