Thor: Love and Thunder Changes VFX During Axl Scene

September 8, 2022

One of the complaints about Thor: Love and Thunder upon its release was that some scenes involving visions of Axl, Heimdall’s son, looked poor when it came to their visual effects. A new fix aims to change that for the film’s Disney+ release.

According to various users on Twitter who have watched the recently released film on Disney’s streaming service, scenes featuring Heimdall’s son astral projecting his face to Thor have been tweaked a bit. Instead of a more cloudy vision, Axl’s face is clearer now, with actor Kieron L. Dyer’s face becoming more visible as a result.

“The fourth installment finds Thor on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced — a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher, who seeks the extinction of the gods,” says the synopsis. “To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg, and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who — to Thor’s surprise — inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.”
