David is joined by The Direct Podcast's very own Matt Roembke and Liam Crowley. Matt and Liam have been keeping the public informed on the irregularity of the Thor Love & Thunder trailer... that doesn't exist (yet). Whenever Marvel Studios releases the trailer for Chris Hemsworth's fourth Thor installment, it will be the shortest window between Trailer 1 and theatrical release in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Is this a one-time thing for the MCU or a marketing trend heading further into the 2020s? David, Liam, and Matt break it down.
