(FYI: Spoilers Ahead for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday)
A new major connection has been revealed for Gorr’s daughter, Love (introduced in Thor: Love and Thunder), who is now being raised by Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. She will be the first to sense an incoming cosmic threat in Avengers: Doomsday.
According to insider Alex Perez (via The Cosmic Circus), Hemsworth’s Thor—who is raising Love—will be alerted to the cosmic threat through her connection to Eternity, and he will join the Avengers.
At the end of Thor: Love and Thunder, Gorr uses his one wish from Eternity to bring his daughter back to life. Reborn through Eternity’s power, she returns with cosmic abilities and glowing eyes.
In a recent leak, it was revealed that Thor, Sam Wilson, Captain Marvel, Shang-Chi, Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Jennifer Walters, Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Bob, Bruce Banner, Shuri, M’Baku, Namor, and the Fantastic Four are tasked with resolving the incursion between two worlds, rescuing Monica Rambeau, and protecting Loki at the Citadel after discovering the TVA and Doctor Doom’s plan. Meanwhile, the rest of the team—John Walker, Ghost, and Red Guardian—remain on Earth-616 alongside other Avengers to protect the planet from an unknown invasion. The remaining Thunderbolts unite with Wakanda, Talokan, and the sorcerers led by Wong to help defend Earth.
Alex also reported that in Doomsday, there will be an incursion between Earth-616 and Monica’s universe (Earth-10005), where the X-Men reside.
