This is REALLY good news for those of us anxiously awaiting “Thor: Love and Thunder.” Seriously, the film was supposed to release on February 18th (and later February 11th) 2022.

We’re hopeful this means a trailer isn’t too far away. Possibly sometime around the release of “Kenobi?” “Thor: Love and Thunder” currently has a release date of July 8th, 2022.

It’s like if the local ren faire, on their fantasy weekend, went all “10th Kingdom” and became a portal to another realm where everything was real, rather than make believe. We’re certainly curious, and will give the series a chance. Disney+ describes “The Quest”: Filmed at…
