12 years after Chris Hemsworth's Thor debuted in the MCU, Marvel just dropped a bombshell that changes the God of Thunder's claims about his past.

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Loki season 2 episode 3Thor's history in the MCU was just changed by a major Marvel timeline confirmation courtesy of his warmongering little brother. Loki season 2 adds crucial details to the pre-MCU past of Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder, creating a plot hole in a movie released 11 years ago in the process.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Thor's MCU timeline so far has been largely straight forward, despite some vagueness about his actual age in human years. That was cleared up in Avengers: Infinity War, which stated Thor's age as 1500 years, as well as revealing that he'd killed 3000 people, confirming his claim in The Avengers that he waged war frequently in his youth.

Despite the known hints of Asgardian history becoming Earth's mythology and legend, Thor was largely missing from that story. That had been a necessary adjustment, given his arrival in New Mexico in 2011 needed to be viewed as an alien "invasion", and not something as complex and philosophically challenging as the arrival of an actual living God.

That speech refers to Thor's arrival in New Mexico in 2011 , when Loki sends the Destroyer to Earth to kill his brother, in order to usurp the throne of Asgard. But Loki season 2 confirms that Thor's first trip to Earth cannot have been in 2011, making the line a strange anomaly.Loki Having escaped from a different timeline, Loki stars in his own titular series, where he learns about the life of his predecessor and discovers the truth of time and space.

Release Date June 11, 2021 Cast Tom Hiddleston, Richard E. Grant, Erika Coleman, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Owen Wilson, Wunmi Mosaku, Sasha Lane Seasons 2 Key Release Dates
