Thor: The Black Sword

When a being called Gorr starts killing Gods after his daughter's death and a less than friendly encounter with the sun God, Thor has to try and stop him while Loki who managed to survive the war between the Avengers and Red Skull teams up with the Enchantress and her Executioner to take over Asgard while Thor is off world. Throughout the movie Thor teams up with people like Baldur the Brave, Sif, the Warriors Three, and Heimdall and eventually gets into a final battle with Gorr on Jotunheim which ends in Gorr killing Thor. All hope seems lost as the life fades from Thor and Loki takes Asgard as he kills Odin but things get a bit brighter when Thor is saved by the Greek God of life Phanes which causes Gorr to see that Gods aren't all bad. Gorr sits down and slowly turns to dust as he accepts death to be with his daughter. Thor gets back to Asgard only to be exiled along with people who tried to stop Loki such as Baldur and Heimdall.
