Thor and Loki's MCU family tree keeps growing as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's take on Norse mythology is explored in new movies and shows.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The MCU has slowly revealed a large chunk of Thor's family tree throughout the years. Marvel Studios has followed Thor since the moment his failed coronation led him to become closer to Midgard than he was to Asgard. As a result, Loki also distanced himself from Asgard to become a villain, and later, a redeemed hero.
Bor - Grandfather Thor: The Dark World visits one of the earliest points in the MCU's chronological history with a flashback to Bor's battle against the Dark Elves 5000 years before Malekith's return. As Odin recounts, Bor leads the Asgardian army in the battle, attempting to stop Malekith from using the Aether during the Convergence of the Nine Realms. Bor succeeds with the help of the Bifrost and hid the Aether, and Asgard thrives for the rest of Bor's reign.
In Norse mythology, Frigga is the Queen of the goddesses and the patron goddess of marriage. Unlike the MCU, the Norse version of Frigga isn't Thor's mother. Instead, Frigga gives birth to Balder, while Odin's relationship with Jord results in Thor's birth. In the original version of Ragnarök, Frigga does everything she can to protect Balder, but Loki ultimately outsmarts her and kills her beloved son, kicking off a chain reaction that results in the end of the Norse world.
