Thor (Avengers: Endgame, Thor was getting his second wind.
In Phase 3 of the MCU, Thor had suffered more loss than any of the other Avengers. Director Taika Waititi's Avengers: Infinity War and Thor failed to save the universe by not aiming for Thanos' head. The God of Thunder was a physical and emotional mess in Avengers: Endgame, but while Thor maybe have put on a lot of extra weight, he proved he was indeed still worthy and ultimately gained the self-confidence to leave Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy to seek out his new destiny.
So, Thor is actually poised for a brighter future, unlike the rest of the founding six Avengers. Endgame gave Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) a happy ending but took him off the board as Captain America. Meanwhile, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) sacrificed his life to save the world from Thanos' invasion, leaving the complicated rights to Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) keep the Green Goliath from getting a solo movie, and there's no indication yet of what the future for Hulk will be. Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) is co-heading a Hawkeye TV series on Disney+ with his protege Kate Bishop, but he could possibly the torch and bow out.
Meanwhile, with Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor becomes the first and only Avenger to receive a fourth solo film. Taika Waititi's sequel is poised to be a new beginning for the former King of Asgard, and there could be even more sequels after that. It's a remarkable turnaround for Thor, considering that originally he wasn't considered one of the most popular Avengers (especially after Thor: The Dark World). But Thor: Ragnarok tapped into Chris Hemsworth's irrepressible comedic chops and between Ragnarok, Infinity War, and Endgame, Thor was the subject of a fascinating story arc where the God of Thunder was broken down and then rebuilt in ways no one saw coming. The fact that he's still Fat Thor at the conclusion of Endgame signals that anything is possible for the self-proclaimed Strongest Avenger.
Part of Thor's future, at least in Love and Thunder, will encom the Odinson sharing the mantle of Thor with Korg (Taika Waititi), and there could even be more alternate Thors in the film. While it's anyone's guess what happens next after Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor has now eclipsed his fellow Avengers and the immortal Asgardian's very real MCU future looks mighty.
