Thor: Love & Thunder Soundtrack Guide – Every Song Explained

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Thor: Love and Thunder!

The Thor: Love and Thunder soundtrack includes several recognizable songs, ranging from iconic rock anthems to more contemporary pop. Director Taika Waititi helped push the Thor franchise in a new direction once he took over with Thor: Ragnarok. He gave the Marvel Cinematic Universe series a comedic tone, brighter colors, and a great soundtrack. This includes the standout Led Zepplin classic “Immigrant Song”, used for the final battle between Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Cate Blanchett’s Hela.

Thor: Love and Thunder marks the return of Thor for the first time since he left Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy in Avengers: Endgame. The MCU Phase 4 movie follows his journey of discovering who he really is in this vast universe, which becomes a bit more complicated when his ex-girlfriend, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), gains his powers through a rebuilt Mjolnir. The God of Thunder might be jealous at first, but he comes to realize she is what he’s been missing in his life. Jane’s superhero turn also comes at the perfect time since Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) begins rampaging across the galaxy killing every god in his path.

As the drama, comedy, and action unfold, there is some memorable music in Thor: Love and Thunder. MCU veteran Michael Giacchino is responsible for composing the movie’s score, but Taika Waititi once again cultivated a great collection of famous songs. Here is a complete Thor: Love and Thunder soundtrack guide, including when each of the songs plays in relation to the movie.
