Thor: Love & Thunder's New Trailer Hid A Heartbreaking Loki Tribute
Thor: Love and Thunder will be marked by the absence of Loki, the mischievous trickster God, but his brother, Thor, still pays a heartbreaking tribute to him.

In a very small blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene, the mighty Thor pays perfect homage to his long-gone brother.
The first trailer for Love and Thunder showcased a heartbreaking Avengers: Infinity War detail which made reference to Loki and his memory, and now the second trailer shows further evidence that Thor's brother is there in spirit. The trailers hint at a spiritual journey for Thor, where he battles with more inward emotions rather than fighting battles down on Earth. This would, of course, mean that he will have to face the grief of all the people he's lost over the years, which he seems to be coping with in a unique way.
