Trailer Drop.

Yeah, it's Multi-Madness that's grabbing all the media oxygen. WHO ARE THE CAMEOS? Deadpool? Wolverine? Jean Grey? Reed Richards? Prof X!?! "Superior" Iron Man? Captain Marvel? Captain Carter? Loki? Kang? Some version of Spidey (but will anybody remember him? Maybe in another universe!) Who's the big villain (besides or behind Wanda, anyway?) Chthon, Mephisto, Nightmare? How many versions of himself will Strange run into?
But we finally get a trailer for "Love & Thunder". What I get from this:
Thor is still questioning where he wants to find his place in the universe. We can see his original idea of hitching a ride with Quill & the Guardians may not be working for him. He seems tired of war, he plants Bjarnborn/Stormbreaker in the dirt. However, he has shed the excess "Fat Thor" pounds, and looks like Rocket may have made him a nice artificial eye. Meanwhile, Valkyrie also looks tired of being Queen of New Asgard, all it's getting her is boring meetings with bureaucrats. And there's Korg! Awesome, Korg always brings the deadpan humor and the accent I love.
Not shown in the trailer, but well known to all the "buzz sites" and if you know the comics, obvious from the trailer, the villain will be Gorr the god-butcher, who has a god-killing dark sword (kind of his Stormbringer, I guess.) Gorr has a grudge against the gods (who doesn't), but he's decided for them failing this universe, they need to die. This may bring Thor out of retirement. I notice he's got his space-goats now pulling his space boat, that's cool, it's taken right from Norse mythology. You also see him on Mt. Olympus, complete with Zeus. (Are we finally going to see MCU Hercules?) So maybe Gorr is also going after the Greek gods. And now that they've introduced the Egyptian gods into the MCU with Khonshu/Moon Knight ... are they threatened also?
But the big reveal moment ... and again the one that's not a surprise if you've kept your ears to the buzz train ... Jane Foster Thor, wielding a restored Mjolnir. Maybe breaking up with her wasn't such a good idea, eh? (In the comics, Jane actually got Mjolnir when Thor lost his ability to wield it because he stopped being worthy, but then as she was suffering from cancer, but was worthy, she picked it up and was healed.)
The rumors are, as the MCU keeps switching things up, "our" Odinson (Chris H) Thor might ... "retire" ... after this film ... but Jane will take up the mantle. A female Thor might make the RWGeeks lose their shit as much as the Black Captain America. Guess we'll see. She-Hulk and Ironheart (a black female Iron ... Woman) ... are also coming.
Oh and that Ms. Marvel trailer! Hope the RWGeeks can deal with a brown female Muslim super heroine ... even she jokes "it's not brown girls from Jersey City who save the world" ... although she might just do that.
