Thor 4: What should I watch before Thor: Love and Thunder?

Wondering what you should watch before watching Thor: Love and Thunder on Disney Plus? Here is your recommended pre-Thor 4 watch list! 

The Marvel Cinematic Universe expanded once again with the release of Marvel’s latest blockbuster, Thor: Love and Thunder. 

In the highly anticipated new film, Thor partners up with King Valkyrie, Korg and ex-girlfriend-turned-Mighty-Thor Jane Foster to take on a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher, who seeks the extinction of the gods.

The film is yet another amazing addition to the MCU and it’s now joined its fellow MCU offerings on Disney Plus as part of the Disney Plus Day 2022 line-up! Wondering what movies and shows you should try checking out before you head out to watch Thor: Love and Thunder? To get your best viewing experience, here are the titles we’d recommend watching at least once before you see Thor 4. 

What movies do I need to watch before Thor: Love and Thunder?

Before watching Thor: Love and Thunder on Disney Plus, there are a few Marvel Cinematic Universe movies it might not hurt to re-watch or watch for the first time to help give you a full picture of Thor’s history in the MCU.

Among the movies we’d recommend seeing are Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Doctor Strange, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Considering Thor 4 does include appearances from the Guardians of the Galaxy, it might not hurt to also check out Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. 

Now we get it, that’s ten movies in total we’re recommending you watch before seeing Thor: Love and Thunder so which are the essential watches? If we had to narrow it down for you, we’d recommend watching Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame before seeing Thor 4 as these particular films play a key role in shaping the Thor we see in Thor 4. 

What Marvel shows do I need to watch before Thor 4?

Truth be told, you can likely get away with watching Thor: Love and Thunder without watching any Marvel Disney Plus series. While you could definitely watch What If… and Loki before checking out Love and Thunder, you won’t be missing anything if you’re unable to watch either series before watching Thor 4. 

Thor: Love and Thunder is streaming now on Disney Plus!
