Thor: Love and Thunder, the newest Marvel film, has leaked into torrent sites and other networks that facilitate piracy, in varying quality and file size variants (from 847MB to 2.63GB). Despite the linked images and user reviews attesting to the authenticity of the majority of copies, some are counterfeit and exist solely as a trap to load viruses, malware, and other malicious software onto the machines of unwary users. Surprisingly, the unauthorized versions of Thor: Love and Thunder are of a higher quality than those we have seen in the past, despite being loaded with commercials. Gadgets 360 disapproves of illicit file-sharing. It is illegal, and filmmakers should be compensated for the content they generate.
The first legitimately leaked version of Thor: Love and Thunder appeared on pirate sites at approximately 11 a.m. IST on Thursday, July 7, with the designation “CAM,” indicating that it was filmed using a video camera in theaters. The fourth Thor film was released in Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, and South Korea on Wednesday, and in India, Brazil, Ireland, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom on Thursday. Thor: Love and Thunder will be released on Friday in Canada, Japan, Spain, the United States, and other countries. According to comments and screenshots, the unauthorized Thor: Love and Thunder rips contain sporadic advertising breaks. Additionally, there are various ad watermarks, one of which is persistent, on a website for online gaming and betting. Both have been digitally added to the compromised recording.
Fortunately for Disney, Marvel Studios, and the cast and crew of Thor: Love and Thunder, the cam-recorded illicit Love and Thunder rips have serious flaws with sharpness, detail, contrast, cropping, angle, and/or color, as evidenced by publicly available screenshots. We will not upload any screenshots because we do not wish to reveal any plot details. Gadgets 360 has not been able to confirm audio quality, however user reviews indicate that it is reverberant, muted, and difficult to hear. The Thor: Love and Thunder full-length film leaks only strengthen the case for seeing the film in theaters.
Thor: Love and Thunder is directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), based on a screenplay he co-wrote with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor in a mid-life crisis, Christian Bale as the new villain Gorr the God Butcher who wields the Necrosword, Tessa Thompson as New Asgard king Valkyrie who is bored with the bureaucracy of her job, Jaimie.
Thor: Love and Thunder features the Guardians of the Galaxy, as the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film takes up where Avengers: Endgame left off. This includes Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Sean Gunn as Kraglin Obfonteri, and the voices of Groot and Rocket provided by Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, respectively.
