THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Concept Art Reveals Deleted Scene With Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster

Shortly before Thor: Love and Thunder was released in theaters, Christian Bale revealed that he shot scenes with Jeff Goldblum and Peter Dinklage that were left on the cutting room floor. We still hoped to see both The Grandmaster and Eitri in the movie, of course, but there was no sign of either character in the chaotic final cut.

Now, concept artist Laurent Ben-Mimoun has shared some of his work on the Thor: Ragnarok sequel, and we see The Grandmaster spending time with Korg's head!

Upon closer inspection, it appears he has a robotic body now; is it possible Gorr the God Butcher brutally attacked the powerful cosmic being while hunting Thor? Common sense says yes, though we'd now bet that these engineers created a new body for the villain that they later placed his head on (and that they're possibly doing the same thing for Korg).

If we're even halfway close to being right, that's an awful lot of plot to cut out of Thor: Love and Thunder!

It feels like Marvel Studios allowed filmmaker Taika Waititi to run wild while making this movie, something that could explain why the shortened cut we eventually saw in theatres felt so messy. Whether the plan is to release these deleted scenes featuring The Grandmaster remains to be seen, though there's no guarantee based on past experience.

"Too silly to take seriously, there’s still a lot to love about Thor: Love and Thunder," we said in our review earlier this year, "but unlike Thor: Ragnarok, it’s unlikely to be a movie you’ll fall in love with. Marvel Studios may be developing a quantity over quality issue."

Take a closer look at this concept art below and let us know what you think is going on in the comments section!

Honestly thought this movie was a blast. But I never went in expecting it be anymore than it was. I was perfectly whelmed.

@PlusUltra - Agreed. I had a lot of fun and want to see it again. It all comes down to expectations I guess.

Kinda glad they cut it, because Grandmaster and Korg with robot bodies would've been quite weird. Not that weirdness should surprise me with Taika though.

Taika needs to lay off the coke next time he makes a movie

AC1 - 8/21/2022, 7:31 AM

I still have such mixed feelings about this movie. As a Thor/Marvel movie it feels like it's lacking a lot, very rushed, etc. but if Taika made this movie WITHOUT the Marvel elements (just a standalone sci-fi comedy with original characters) I feel like it would have worked much better.

Have yet see movie

Love how pretty much the entire world agreed on pretending this movie never happened.

TheLobster - 8/21/2022, 12:44 PM

Love and Thunder is painfully bad. I hope Taika doesn’t come back to the MCU. He’s gonna screw up with his Star Wars film but I’ve already given up on that IP anyways.

A scene like that seems that it could have been in the epilogue of the story during Korg's final narration.

A really poor rendition of a great character.

Thor needs a guest role in a movie.
