Thor: Love and Thunder finally had its first trailer come out and it definitely delivers and builds upon the wacky tone for the character that Taika Waititi introduced with Thor: Ragnarok. Featuring a Thor who retires from being a superhero and goes in search for inner peace, he is brought back into the fight once Gorr the God Butcher starts causing chaos. Thor then enlists Korg and Valkyrie to go on a trip around the cosmos to rectify this situation. The film will also feature Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor as Natalie Portman makes her return to the MCU.

Watch The Trailer:
Taika Waititi continues the trend of adding a great rock song to go with the trailer. With Thor: Ragnarok he added “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin and over here he does the same by adding “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. The song fits the tone of the trailer perfectly and you can check that out below as well.

If you want to sing along to the song too, then you can as the lyrics are provided down below.
She's got a smile that it seems to meReminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, sweet love of mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, oh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Where do we go now?
Ah, ah
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Sweet child
Sweet child of mine
“Sweet Child O’ Mine” was a song that was inspired by AXL Rose’s childhood as he talked about how the song took him back to days when everything was “fresh as the bright blue sky.” The lyrics also came from a poetry AXL wrote for his then wife, Erin Everly.

The song perfectly fits the tone of the trailer as we see Thor grow up from a kid to a man in the first few seconds. It hammers in with that nostalgic feeling and its pretty great. With this being a romantic film as well, they couldn’t have chosen a better song. Thor: Love and Thunder releases on July 8, 2022.
