Thor’s New Weapon
While Iron Man, Star-Lord and friends are on Titan, Thor, Rocket and Groot are on their own cosmic side mission. As glimpsed in previous teasers, the unlikely trio will head off into space to get the God of Thunder a powerful new weapon, after his trusty hammer Mjolnir was destroyed by Hela back in Thor: Ragnarok.
The trailer reveals the moment that Chris Hemsworth’s Asgardian gets his hands on his new accessory, testing it out by channeling his lightning powers through it which crackle throughout the forge. With his billowing red cape (which he also seems to have got back somehow) and his mighty powers, Thor really looks like a god in this moment. It clearly affects Rocket and Groot, too, who look up at him in awe. It’s unusual to see the cynical Rocket so sincerely impressed.
The framing of the shot deliberately keeps the appearance of the new weapon a secret, in an effort to preserve the surprise for the full movie, but upcoming action figures of the character have already revealed what Stormbreaker looks like.
