A new image for Thor: Love and Thunder has confirmed the upcoming Marvel movie has close ties to Moon Knight and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. A new still from the film made its way online on Monday, showing a convening of the gods. In it, Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster/Mighty Thor is seen taking a seat alongside Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie. It’s not clear where the two exactly are. Interestingly, at the bottom right of the picture, another character appears, in what looks to be a panther-like costume.

Fans on social media were quick to point out that this could be Bast, the Egyptian god who has ties to Moon Knightand Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Bast is part of the Ennead, the group of Egyptian gods we were introduced to in Moon Knight’s Disney live-action series. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Bast is also the goddess who led the first Black Panther – Bashenga – to the Heart-Shaped Herb, the source of the Black Panther’s superpowers. Thor: Love and Thunder will release in theaters worldwide on July 8. In the fourth instalment of the Thor series, following the events in Avengers: Endgame, Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) declares that his “superhero-ing days are over” as he looks to start a new chapter of self-discovery. On April 18, Marvel Studios released the first teaser trailer for the forthcoming film, giving us a brief glimpse of what’s in store for Thor.

The minute-and-a-half clip — set to the tune of Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine — begins with Thor declaring his retirement, just after the fall of his kingdom Asgard in the last Avengers film.
