It’s also not ‘all in your head’ in a way that you can simply snap out of, though it does technically exist in your brain.”
An unconfirmed Thor: Love and Thunder leak reveals that the upcoming Thor solo movie may undo one of the best moments in Avengers: Endgame.
“Thor: Love And Thunder hasn’t even started filming, But we already know a lot about Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo movie.

And on October 15, we learned the film’s working title, and it could reveal a lot.”

No lyrics, artist name or correct pitch is needed to use the search capability.”
