Chris Hemsworth appears on bended knee praying that he can return home safely to his daughter as he reprises his role as Thor in the latest teaser for Avengers: Doomsday.

The Australian star can be seen back in the role of the God of Thunder, praying to his late father, the Norse god Odin, as he says: “Lend me the strength of the All-fathers, so that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her.

“Not as a warrior, but as warmth.

“To teach her not battle, but stillness. The kind I never knew.”

Thor’s daughter will be played by Hemsworth’s real-life daughter with Elsa Pataky, India.

The eagerly anticipated new Avengers film will reunite some of the most famous superheroes against a new enemy: Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom.

Downey Jr, who is best known as the Marvel superhero Iron Man, will take on a new role in the franchise as the arch villain.

The Thor-focused trailer for Doomsday follows a teaser confirming the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers.

Evans, 44, was seen in the sneak peek entering a house and picking up the suit of his character Steve Rogers’ superhero alter-ego Captain America.

He takes a moment to stare at Captain America’s suit, then places it into a box and shuts it away.

The character is then seen cradling an infant and smiling, before the screen goes black. The words “Steve Rogers will return in Avengers: Doomsday” are then revealed.

The new teaser also includes a similar statement, reading: “Thor will return in Avengers: Doomsday.”

The latest Avengers film will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who were also responsible for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Doomsday is the penultimate film of Marvel’s multiverse saga, which has explored parallel realities and cosmic threats.

The new film will be released in December 2026.
