Although Marvel has been churning a lot of films and shows over the past few years, Thor: Love and Thunder has managed to stand out from them. Thanks to its unique blend of adventure, action, and comedy, the Odinson's fourth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is looking like a winner so far. But apart from all the fun this movie has, it boasts significant details hiding beneath the surface and fun trivia fans should know more about. We take a deep dive down below and check the most noteworthy Thor: Love and Thunder easter eggs out there.

The 6 best Thor: Love and Thunder Easter eggs

6. Necrosword

Love and Thunder starts with Christian Bale's Gorr losing his daughter and meeting Rapu, the very god he worshipped fervently shortly after. To his disappointment, the commitment he had for his god turned to disgust after the latter easily dismissed his hardships. With all of what he believed in crumbling to dust, the Necrosword rises up into Gorr's hands and he uses it to kill his first god. With that murder, he vows to end them all from there.

The tool Gorr used to kill Rapu, and all the gods after, traces its history to Thor God of Thunder #2. In that particular issue, Gorr makes his first appearance and exhibited how deadly the Necrosword really is. And while much of this weapon's popularity can be associated with Thor, its true lineage is closer to Venom as its maker is actually Knull, the god of symbiotes.

It was later revealed that the Necrosword is actually the All-Black, Knull's creation that usually took the form of a sword. It imbues the individual who wields it with immense power, enough of it for someone to ascend and become a god himself. This allowed Gorr to take on Thor and a host of gods who opposed him, empower the God of Thunder to take on Galactus, and even enslaved the whole Marvel universe when Knull wielded it.

5. Omnipotence City

Realizing that the Asgardians won't be enough to defeat Gorr, Thor, Jane Foster, Valkyrie, and Korg travel to Omnipotence City and seek help from the gods there. And while their plan of raising an army was flat-out denied by Zeus and the other deities, they still ended up with the former's legendary weapon in the process.

As the part of Love and Thunder happened, Marvel fans are treated to a number of easter eggs from Omnipotence City itself. Foremost among these is no other than Bast herself, the very same goddess Wakandans worship and countless generations of Black Panthers represent. This presents a clear connection between Thor's part in the MCU to Black Panther and Wakanda.

Another fun cameo occurs when Thor's group escapes Zeus' council by breaking a large window. Right after that, we see two Celestials peer inside. These god-like beings were first seen in Guardians of the Galaxy and given a proper storyline in the Eternals. And just like the connection to Black Panther, the Celestials' appearance here ties them back to the recent Phase 4 film.

4. Sif

After Asgard's destruction in Thor: Ragnarok, no one really knew where in the whole universe Sif was. Love and Thunder addressed that issue by getting Jamie Alexander back on board and turning her character into the catalyst for Thor to learn about Gorr and his threat. Once Thor reaches Sif's location, he discovers her friend with one arm missing. Beyond that is another easter egg taken straight out of the comics – the death of Falligar.

The imagery Taiki Waititi used here, the one with Thor and Korg standing over the fallen god, alludes to the actual panel Esad Ribic created in Thor: God of Thunder #3. Needless to say, the result on screen is one that's translated well from the comics.

3. Eternity and other supreme beings

While Thor and the others surmised that Gorr's primary goal is to kill all the gods, they really have no idea how he's going to do that. Right after their battle in the Shadow Realm, they learn that the true reason they have been drawn out by the God Butcher is to take Stormbreaker and use its Bifrost abilities to open the way to Eternity. Turns out, the individual who reaches him first gets to have his or her heart's desire fulfilled.

As Thor confronts Gorr before he opens the path to Eternity, Marvel fans can catch a glimpse of the Living Tribunal, Watcher, Death, Oblivion, and Infinity, several popular god-like beings in the background. Eternity's look in Love and Thunder is also accurately done as it mirrors how the being known to contain all of existence within itself really looks in the comics.

2. Hercules

The first of Love and Thunder's two post-credit scenes involved Zeus ranting about how people have now chosen heroes like Thor over the gods. As he is being nursed to health, he calls upon his son to make Thor pay. At this point, Hercules is shown rising up.

Played by Brett Goldstein, Hercules is an actual hero in the comics with pretty much the same M.O. Similar to Thor: Love and Thunder, the demigod first meets the God of Thunder in Journey Into Mystery Annual #1, and the two clash. Shortly after, Hercules would go on throughout the decades to become part of the Avengers and save the world on a couple of occasions himself. Needless to say, there's a chance that a lot is in store for the Goldstein's version in the MCU.

1. Becoming a Valkyrie

Jane Foster's ascension to becoming Thor, taking the name into her own, and dying in battle to save the world takes inspiration from Jason Aaron's run in the comics. What's not usually known is that the comic version of Jane would reach Valhalla, be resurrected by Thor and Odin, and become a Valkyrie herself.

Natalie Portman's post-credit scene in Thor: Love and Thunder can pave the way for that to happen in the MCU. With Phase 4 reaching its end and the next big event being set up, it isn't hard to imagine that Jane will come back at some point to don a new costume and help the good guys in the years to come.
