Thor: Ragnarok certainly shook things up for the God of Thunder. Not only did he lose Asgard and his right eye, but his trusty hammer Mjolnir was destroyed at the hands of Cate Blanchett’s wicked villainess Hela.
Thor won’t be going into Avengers: Infinity War and the big showdown with Thanos unarmed however, as he will be wielding a new hammer – Stormbreaker – in the superhero blockbuster, and thanks to some merchandise packaging, we’ve got a good look at the mighty weapon; take a look here, courtesy of CBM…
Stormbreaker will be familiar to Marvel Comics readers, with Odin having the hammer forged for the character of Beta Rey Bill after the Korbonite warrior defeated Thor in battle and took possession of Mjolnir.
