The teaser trailer for Thor 5: Legend of Hercules (2025) offers an epic glimpse into the next chapter of Thor’s journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The trailer opens with a majestic scene of the cosmos, showing Asgard rebuilt and more glorious than ever. Thor (Chris Hemsworth), now more mature and wise, narrates in a somber tone, reflecting on the legends of gods past and the weight of their legacy.
The camera cuts to New Asgard, where Thor is seen training and preparing for an upcoming battle. He has been at peace for a while, but the trailer hints that this tranquility is about to be shattered. A distant threat is on the horizon, and Thor seems burdened by the prophecy of a new, greater force—Hercules (Brett Goldstein), the demigod introduced in the post-credits scene of Thor: Love and Thunder.
Hercules is shown in a series of fast-paced shots, and his entrance is nothing short of epic. Wielding his iconic mace and adorned in golden armor, he is introduced as a rival god whose power is rumored to rival that of Thor himself. The tension between the two is teased as their first meeting quickly escalates into a battle. Hercules is driven by his own quest for glory, and the trailer hints at a clash between two powerful beings who, despite their similarities, come from very different worlds.
Action sequences dominate the middle of the trailer, with Thor and Hercules locked in fierce combat across various realms. Thunder and lightning clash with raw, Herculean strength, setting the stage for a massive showdown between the gods. But the trailer also teases that this battle might be only the beginning. A darker force is hinted at in the shadows—an unknown villain manipulating events from behind the scenes, likely tied to the ancient gods’ past.
The trailer ends with Thor, bruised but unbowed, saying, “Legends are forged in battle, but gods… we decide our fate,” as he stands beside Hercules, suggesting an uneasy alliance might be forming. The title Thor 5: Legend of Hercules flashes on the screen, promising an epic tale of rivalry, redemption, and divine warfare in the next thrilling chapter of Thor’s story.
