If you’ve spent any time in the "Vought" universe lately, you’ve definitely seen London Thor. She’s hard to miss. But honestly, most people don’t realize she’s been lurking in the background of some of the biggest prestige dramas and indie darlings of the last decade. It’s that classic "where do I know her from?" feeling.
London Thor isn't just a "superhero actor." She's a singer-songwriter and a gritty character actor who’s been grinding since 2013. You might know her as the female half of a bigender supe, but her filmography goes way deeper than Godolkin University.
The Roles That Put London Thor Movies and TV Shows on the Map
Most fans clocked her for the first time in Gen V. It’s her biggest role to date. Playing Jordan Li is a massive undertaking because she’s literally sharing a soul with another actor, Derek Luh. They have to sync their mannerisms, their "swag," and that specific brand of God U cynicism.
It’s a weirdly beautiful performance.
But before the capes and the energy blasts, she was doing the "actor’s journey" in Los Angeles. She grew up in Agoura Hills, the daughter of acting teachers Cameron Thor and Alice Carter. Acting is basically in her DNA.

The Breakout in Gen V
In The Boys spinoff, London Thor plays the female form of Jordan Li. This isn't just a gimmick. The character is bigender, using their male form for brute strength and the female form (Thor) for agility and energy blasts. Thor brings a certain "punk rock" edge to Jordan that makes the character feel grounded despite the absurd setting.
The chemistry she has with Jaz Sinclair (Marie Moreau) is arguably the heart of the show. It’s an interracial, queer relationship that feels surprisingly human for a show that features exploding heads every twenty minutes.
The Prestige Guest Spots
You’ve probably seen her and just didn't realize it.
- Shameless: She had a recurring stint as Olivia across multiple seasons (2016–2018). If you remember the Gallagher chaos of the mid-seasons, she was right there in the mix.
- Lady Bird: This is the big "prestige" credit. She wasn't the lead, obviously, but being in a Greta Gerwig film is a badge of honor. She played a performer in the "Merrily We Roll Along" sequence.
- You: She appeared in the third season of the Netflix stalker-hit. She played Stephanie in the episode "We’re All Mad Here."
- Never Have I Ever: She popped up as Stella in Mindy Kaling’s high school comedy.
Beyond the Screen: The Music You've Actually Heard
Here is a fun fact: you might have heard London Thor’s voice before you ever saw her face. She’s a prolific singer-songwriter. She started writing at twelve and released her first single at fifteen.

She’s basically an EDM staple.
Thor has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the trance and house world. We’re talking Markus Schulz, Gareth Emery, and Shane 54. Her track "Hands" with Gareth Emery is a legitimate fan favorite.
Her music has also been featured in movies like The Girl on the Train. She’s not just an actress who decided to "try" music; she’s a musician who happened to land a lead role in a superhero franchise.
What’s Next for Her?
As of early 2026, the buzz is all about Gen V Season 2 and her expected appearance in the final season of The Boys. There’s also an indie project titled Infinitely Dense where she plays a lead role named Layla.

It’s clear she’s moving away from "guest star" territory and into "leading lady" status.
Actionable Insights for Fans
If you want to track her career, don't just stick to Prime Video.
- Check out her Spotify. Search for her collaborations with Gareth Emery or her solo EP Cinematic Love. It gives you a totally different perspective on her "Jordan Li" intensity.
- Rewatch Shameless Season 7-9. Look for "Olivia." It’s a great way to see how she developed her screen presence before the big-budget CGI sets of the Vought world.
- Watch Lady Bird again. It’s a "blink and you’ll miss it" role, but it’s a fun Easter egg for die-hard fans.
London Thor is one of those actors who has been around for ages but is only just now getting the "star" treatment she deserves. Whether she's blasting supes through walls or singing haunting vocals on a trance track, she’s proving to be one of the most versatile talents of the Godolkin generation.
Keep an eye on her in the upcoming 2026 release cycle. Between the conclusion of the The Boys universe and her burgeoning indie film career, the "where do I know her from?" question is about to turn into "I can't wait to see what London Thor does next."
To get the most out of her filmography, start with Gen V for the acting range and then pivot to her 2021 EP to understand her creative roots.
