Thor: Love and Thunder
Summary
Stormbreaker ’s origin inAvengers : eternity Warwas almost very different , and this abandon plan could have made the weapon ’s part inThor : Love and Thundermuch exculpated . The Russo brothers part up Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes inAvengers : Infinity War , each fighting Thanos in their own missions . For Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy members Rocket and Groot , this involve forging a marque - newfangled , Titan - wipe out weapon , Stormbreaker , and the original plan for Stormbreaker ’s lineage in theMCUwould have change Thor ’s following Phase 4 risky venture .
For most of his MCU history , Chris Hemsworth ’s Thor manage the enchanted hammer , Mjolnir . Mjolnir was destroy by Hela inThor : Ragnarok , however , cue Thor to travel to Nidavellir to forge a Modern weapon capable of taking down ThanosinAvengers : Infinity War . The ax , Stormbreaker , was give a polar role inPhase 4’sThor : Love and Thunder , but its purpose and true nature in the 2022 movie was confusing . Stormbreaker could have become an even more powerful weapon if Marvel Studios had kept in inebriate scenes contract fromAvengers : Infinity War .
Marvel ’s Thor wields both the cock Mjonlir and the ax Stormbreaker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - but which artillery is the strongest ?
Stormbreaker’s Role In Thor: Love & Thunder Was A Complicated Plot Point
After it was forged inAvengers : Infinity War , Thor used Stormbreaker to kill Thanos inAvengers : Endgame , and later wielded the ax during his conflict againstGorr the God Butcher inThor : Love and Thunder . Stormbreaker had a huge character inLove and Thunder , as the ax ’s ability to rein the Bifrost gifted Thor and his ally , include Valkyrie , Korg , and Jane Foster ’s Mighty Thor , the ability to travel great distancesin mere moments . This also made it a desired instrument for Gorr , however , as he intended to practice Stormbreaker to access infinity .
Stormbreaker is usually depicted as the weapon system of Beta Ray Bill in Marvel Comics , while Thor keep to manage Mjolnir .
TheGates of Eternitywere opened by the Bifrost inThor : Love and Thunder , and while any telephone number of powerful tools could have been used to harness the Bifrost , Gorr want Stormbreaker . draft inLove and Thunderseemed to imply that Stormbreaker had been assure to be the key to Eternity for many millennia , despite only being created inInfinity War . Even though Stormbreaker was unbelievably new , the setup was in place to use it at the Gates of Eternity , create some disarray about the weapon system ’s true nature .

Avengers: Infinity War Almost Made Stormbreaker A Much Older & Much More Powerful Weapon
Stormbreaker has been depicted as a very muscular weapon in the MCU already , particularly through its ability to open up the Bifrost . However , Avengers : Infinity Waralmost made Stormbreaker even more formidable , as abandon plans for the weapon ’s extraction would have made it an ancient relic . avenger : Infinity Warconcept artreleased inThe Art of Avengers : Infinity Warin 2018 reveal thatThor , Rocket , and Groot almost go on a more adventure - found commission to find Stormbreaker , rather than forging it from boodle .
These original program see Thor and his Guardians of the Galaxy allies go to an unrevealed location to bump the ancient Stormbreaker buried in the skull of a World Serpent , which would have been theMCU ’s limning of the Norse beast , Jörmungandr . As explicate by Senior Visual Development Artist Rodnet Fuentebella , Stormbreaker was to begin with forged"way back when,“and one of Thor ’s root had used it to toss off the World Serpent(viaComicbook.com ) . This would have made Stormbreaker considerably older , perhaps allowing it to make more sense inThor : sexual love and Thunder.
This was going to be the foundation of Stormbreaker. It was forged way back when , and one of Thor ’s ancestors had wielded it to destroy the World Serpent … you may see it inter in the skull of the World Serpent . We wanted to create something that was interesting and different but still feel like you could tell that it ’s buried in something . There was also an idea of how , after they get Stormbreaker , as they were break away , the kid of the World Serpents would attack them and they would have to defend their way out .
Infinity War’s Abandoned Stormbreaker Origin Makes More Sense For Love & Thunder (& Could Have Debuted A Powerful Thor Villain)
If this original sequence had been retained , audiences would have known Stormbreaker as an ancient artillery from its very first appearance . This would have made its greater purpose inThor : honey and Thunderless jarring , asit would have been more believable for Stormbreaker to be the cay to the Gates of Eternity . Gorr the God Butcher may have cognise about Stormbreaker from myth and legends , or else of it never being explain how he became cognisant of the powerful ax .
BringingStormbreaker into the MCUin this mode would have also infix the World Serpent to the dealership . The World Serpent , otherwise experience as the Midgard Serpent , made its Marvel Comics debut in 1952’sMarvel Tales # 105 , debuting a full decennium before Thor , and was prophesized to battle the God of Thunder during the epical Ragnarok event . The World Serpent has n’t made an show in hot - action yet , so it would have been great to see Thor battle the giant wight inAvengers : Infinity War , but perhaps this could occur in a potential continuation toThor : making love and Thunder.
