History WMG / ThorLoveAndThunder

Given that Knull is predominantly a ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}'' character and thus likely falls under the purview of Sony, and the Necrosword was previously shown as byproducts of Hela's crown in ''Thor: Ragnarok'' -- with the crown itself being called the Necrosword in ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf'', Hela will play Knull's role as the dark god from whom Gorr gets the Necrosword.

Just like how ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'' cleverly got away with including a [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Beholder]] by establishing it as a monster with [[TheScottishTrope an unspeakable name]], to allude to the Necrosword's comic origins while not having to deal with Sony's lawyers, it'll simply be described somewhere along the lines of "It was forged untold eons ago by an Elder God of the abyss, so old and terrible, no one knows his name, to lead his horde of ravenous beasts that corrupted and devoured all they came across."

Similar to Film/SpiderManNoWayHome and Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness, it's possible that Marvel Studios hiding Hercules' presence in the trailer with visual effects trickery like they did with [[spoiler:both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men]] in the former and they already casts a well-known actor for the role. Not to mention that Olympians like Zeus are confirmed to appear in the film, it wouldn't make sense to leave Hercules out from Love and Thunder.

* Film/CaptainMarvel or [[Series/WandaVision the Scarlet Witch]] (both are infused with the cosmic power of infinity stones, and powerful enough to be held in some reverence by people/groups)

* [[Film/DoctorStrange Dormammu]]

Thor - despite being kind of a goof and full of bluster and quick assumptions - has been shown to be fairly observant when he wants to be, and actually as intelligent as you'd expect the former Prince/King of Asgard to be. Thus, after a couple of years of travelling together, I posit that he ''absolutely'' knows the ship is Quill's and he's not really "giving him it". Same for his role with the Guardians. It seems more likely that its calling back to the way they met, Thor choosing to have one last chuckle at/with Quill before they part ways.

King Valkyrie wanted to make Thanos and his EvilPlan look ridiculous as part of a larger plan to shame his memory and legacy. It's similar to why Mel Brooks does his best to make Adolf Hitler look like a fool in his films. For all we know, there is a play in New Asgard that commemorates Thor slicing his chest (and, yes, mentioning that he "should have gone for the head"), and the store itself might spread the story of how Thor and his buddies reversed the Snap and then kicked Thanos's ass.

Note how Stark and Banner stated that the combined might of the Infinity Stones is literally ''"enough radiation to power a '''continent."''''' Even Thanos was severely and irreperably scarred and maimed with each outburst of said radiation. Now, consider the frail, ''mere mortal'' frame of a young college graduate like Jane Foster, who, although only held ''a sixth'' of said stones in her body in ''Dark World'', was still explicitly ''dying'' from enough radiation that could presumably power a ''city'' coursing in her body throughout the film. Even after the fact of having it removed, the damage to her body on a cellular, yykand worse yet genetic level, would have already been irreparable, which her maternal-lineage's history of cancer would only exacerbate.

[[WMG: Thor will briefly clash with Hercules, only to eventually befriend each other.]]
They could then team up and fight Zeus together. Hercules could even become an HonoraryUncle to Thor’s daughter.

[[WMG: Thor will visit Valhalla in the sequel.]]
Albeit via a method that doesn’t involve death.

[[WMG: The sequel will have a somewhat noticeable shift in tone.]]
Since one of the main criticisms of ''Love and Thunder'' is the contrast between the serious and comedic scenes, the next film will likely try to aim for a more consistent tone. Whether they lean more towards serious or comedic is up to the creators.

[[WMG:Thor 5 will focus on a group of teenage superheroes]]
The ending sets this up with Love fighting alongside Thor and the Asgard kids getting combat training.
They'll probably be teenagers by the time Thor 5 rolls around.

Ra (as well as most of, if not the entire Egyptian Pantheon) was absent because he was either [[Series/MoonKnight sealed away via turned into a stone statue]] or is active enough in caring about humanity that he was never there that day.
