Thor: Love and Thunder is set to introduce a brand new nemesis in Gorr the God-Butcher. Unlike Hela, who devastated Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok, Gorr's primary goal is to erase all gods from the galaxy because of the deep animosity he has felt for them. But could the origins of this character tie more directly to a planet mentioned in Eternals? A new theory has offered up some evidence that may explain what drives the new enemy to kill all Gods.

In the comics, Gorr came from a planet with very little food and water. As a result, living conditions were harsh, and the only saving grace was to worship gods that appeared to not care for the people of the planet. As Gorr grew, he had a wife and family who sadly died over time. Fed up with his station, he spoke out against the gods and was exiled by his people. On his journey, he witnessed a massive battle between real gods and obtained the power of All-Black the Necrosword. With power to spare, he decided to use it to eliminate all gods in vengeance for what he lost. However, a new theory from New Rockstars may have streamlined the story to fit the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Gorr's motivations better.

In Eternals, during one of Thena's fits of mahd wy'ry, she mentioned that everyone on the planet, Centuri-Six, would die. In the context of the film, she was alluding to the birth of a Celestial that would emerge from the planet, destroying it in the process. Ironically, Thor: Love and Thunder's newest trailer showed Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy on a planet with denizens similar to Yondu's species, which is native to the planet Centauri-IV. Although these planets are spelled differently, they exist within the same Alpha Centauri system in the comics. But how would these planets connect to Gorr and his mission of mass diecide?

According to the theory, the planet that gave birth to a new Celestial may also have been the homeworld of Gorr, who would have witnessed his entire home and family obliterated for a Celestial. Since he has a more humanoid look, similar to Yondu, his world would technically be a sister planet to Yondu's. As a result, the Guardians and Thor may hear of Gorr's actions through the tribe on Centauri-IV.

The Celestial Emergence has been a prime example of how removed the species is from humanity and the importance of a planet's inhabitants. To them, all that matters are Celestials, and to witness an Emergence would be to see their beliefs firsthand. Being an intelligent enemy, Gorr likely understood this and used that belief as a powerful tool to fuel his mission against all gods. To him, if they care so little about life, they should lose some of their own ranks to understand its importance before they lose theirs.

There's no confirmation that this theory could hold water, and not much has been shown in the Love and Thunder trailer to further add to this idea. However, the MCU is no stranger to streamlining or connecting an origin to better service a character and their motivations. Therefore, Gorr's origin being tied to the Celestials and Eternals would make a lot of sense in the grand scheme of things and show that the MCU's various installments still connect in clever ways as the universe expands.

To see Gorr's origin, Thor: Love and Thunder hits theaters on July 8.
