Thor: Love & Thunder Risks Repeating Endgame's Mjolnir Mistake
Thor: Love and Thunder will see the return of many beloved characters as well as Thor’s main weapon, Mjolnir, but through that, it risks repeating a big Avengers: Endgame mistake.

Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Love and Thunder will reunite viewers with the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) after the events of Avengers: Endgame.

Thor will not only finally reunite with Jane Foster after all these years, but Thor: Love and Thunder will also see the return of Mjolnir, which risks repeating an Avengers: Endgame mistake.
