Thor

9 movies in this series

Before he wielded Mjolnir in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the God of Thunder made an unlikely live-action debut in a television movie alongside the Incredible Hulk. From those humble beginnings to becoming one of Marvel's longest-running and most beloved cinematic heroes, Thor has traveled a remarkable path across screens both large and small.

In this series, Now Playing Podcast follows every live-action adventure of Thor, from his appearance in The Incredible Hulk Returns through his solo films, Avengers team-ups, and every corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe where the thunder god leaves his mark. We'll watch as the arrogant prince of Asgard grows into a worthy hero, faces the destruction of his home, battles gods and monsters, and repeatedly finds himself responsible for the fate of entire realms.

Along the way we'll encounter Loki, Odin, Valkyrie, Jane Foster, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and countless allies and enemies drawn from both Norse mythology and Marvel Comics. From Shakespearean family drama and cosmic fantasy to buddy comedy and epic superhero action, Thor's adventures have explored some of the MCU's most ambitious and unpredictable territory.

Join us as we journey across the Nine Realms and beyond, reviewing every hammer swing, lightning strike, cosmic battle, and heroic sacrifice in the saga of the God of Thunder. And with immortals rarely staying retired for long, Thor's next adventure may always be just over the horizon.
