Thor: Love and Thunder | July 8, 2022 | Directed by Oscar Winner Taika Waititi | Ninth most profitable movie of 2022

If a trailer isn't released in the next 4 days, this will officially take the record for closest trailer to release for an MCU film.

 

From The Incredible Hulk.

Maybe if the movie somehow still is planned for July (looking much less likely now), they are just going to kick off the marketing with a 3-minute trailer rather than a short teaser first.

The funny thing is if they actually did wait to release a trailer in May, it would fit in with their ACTUAL regular release schedule for a teaser trailer releasing in November. May to November is 6 months.

Which is why, at this point, if it's a July release we're probably going to get more than a traditional teaser soon. But right now, I am banking on a later release.

Considering most "normal" people don't even know this movie is even coming,

They will find out when the trailer is out in the next couple of months. And the movie will actually be FRESH in their minds!

 

We live in an era where there are upwards of 10 MCU projects in a year! Better to give them the time they deserve as opposed to bombarding casual audiences with five different projects at once that they will forget about.

Wednesday is the threshold for Thor's trailer release. After that, it is unlikely we will get one until after Doctor Strange 2. Tickets go on sale for DS2 Wednesday and there's no way they are going to interrupt those sales with another major trailer. So it's either today or tomorrow or not at all until MUCH later on.

 

This is completely unprecedented. Even a delay would have been announced by now. People would want to know what movies are coming out and when. That's how the fan base rolls. And the fact that nobody is really talking much about it means they need some kind of marketing. No Way Home was talked about incessantly for MONTHS prior to the trailer. "Leaks" about who was going to be in it, images, etc provided for great pre-trailer marketing.

 

This will be an interesting experiment to watch. A 2-2.5 month campaign is a first for such a movie. By that time, there will also be a massive push for Kenobi, Ms. Marvel as well as Lightyear. Likewise, Universal will be pushing the hell out of JW; Dominion. Gonna be a bumpy ride!

If it isn't out by this week, it will move for sure. Just odd how Disney is treating a big blockbuster like this.

I'd say the next 24-36 hours or it's moved.

Maybe the plan is to drop a trailer with DS2 and then have a 6 week blitz before the release

CinemaCon is near the end of the month and everyone will be there promoting their summer movies. If there's nothing by then, it's unlikely this is coming out in July.

Would they really do that a week before Strange comes out?

 

My thinking is that after Strange comes out, they will announce a whole new schedule slate of release dates. Problem is they've change it SO many times, people will stop trusting anything they say.

IT BEGINS!

Hmm, weird to do press without a trailer, I guess that means it's probably coming soon. 

[jedijake]

A day full of wackiness for who? Does this mean a trailer today?

[ImNotRacistAtAll]

Yeah. It's making it's release date. I think Disney is trying something different with the marketing. And since they know Thor is a safe bet and easy sell... why not. 

[ThomasNicole]

If press tour is happening, it's definitely not delayed. Which makes sense tbh, we certainly would know if it's delayed at this point.

 

Still, i doubt we're gonna see this trailer this week. They won't drop it close to DS2 tickets, people can do both things but tickets would definitely be overshadowed on social media and they certainly don't want that.

 

My bet is next monday.

I double that 

[jedijake]

What kind of press tour are they going to do? No images, no trailer, no....anything. There's really nothing to do a press tour with/for without anything to press.

 

And maybe a bigger question is WHY are they doing a press tour in the week that Strange tickets go on sale?

 

This whole thing is FUBAR.
