Thor: Love and Thunder could bring back surprising character
Starting July 6, there will be new fodder for Thor fans when the god and hero with the hammer swings into theaters in Thor: Love and Thunder. Of course, Chris Hemsworth will be there in the lead role, but another actor recently hinted at his return as well, and with it a surprising character.

Starting July 6, the cinema air will be filled with two things: love and thunder. That's when Thor: Love and Thunder hits theaters, and information about the fourth adventure of the god with the hammer is still scarce. After all, a Lego set recently revealed the appearance of the villain Gorr, the God Butcher, who is embodied by Christian Bale.
Now, from a completely different corner, a new piece of information not meant for the public has come to light: In an episode of Empire 's movie podcast (starting at 1:30:10), actor Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) was asked about his career plans, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe came up.
Is Peter Dinklage returning in Thor: Love and Thunder?
When asked if he would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his appearance as Blacksmith Eitri in Avengers: Infinity War, Dinklage had a statement ready that could be interpreted quite clearly, "Well, there's another Thor movie coming, isn't there? That Taika Waititi is directing. But I haven't said anything. I didn't say anything."
Of course, he rowed right back, but did not deny that he would make an appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder. The Dwarf King Eitri would also have a good reason to return story-wise: After all, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) will, to all appearances, become Mighty Thor, and in the role of goddess, she naturally needs a functioning hammer.
Dinklage punctuated the hint that slipped out of his mouth by saying that in the Marvel universe, no one is out of the game for good: "If you die in a Marvel movie, it doesn't mean it's your last Marvel movie. That's the crazy thing, it doesn't matter. Someone could make a TV series .... It's the world of Marvel, we're all just a part of it."
Of course, whether Dinklage was really spilling the beans or whether it was a clever marketing ploy sprinkled in remains to be seen. What matters is that the actor has made pretty clear hints about his, and thus Blacksmith Eitri's, return. We'll find out whether they have substance or not when Thor: Love and Thunder hits theaters on July 6.
