Here's hoping we can see full frontal nudity from Thor! Maybe in the director's cut. #ReleasethePenisCut?

Loki died in Infinity War. The only possibility of a cameo is if Thor visits Valhalla. Loki has 'died' before, and I saw a whole show on how he managed to slither out of this last one as well. It was "Endgame" that gave him that opportunity.
Undoing his death was gratuitous and basically ruined his original arc, all so Disney could boost subs for DisneyFlix. Original Loki is still dead. They should keep his “variants” out of the movies.

The God of Mischief doesn't do arcs.

Waititi assumes fans will take this visual as Marvel Studios passing the torch from Hemsworth to Portman as the leader of the Thor franchise. However, the director does not think this is what is happening. Read what Waititi says below: “…And also, it’s really fun, the idea that Thor [has] got Stormbreaker, that big axe, and now his hammer’s back and it’s in the hands of someone else. It’s no longer his hammer. It’s the idea that someone’s taking his place. I think a lot of fans are gonna potentially assume, ‘Oh, OK, this is the passing on of the torch’... I’m not privy to any plans Marvel has for the future, but I don’t think that’s the case.“ screenrant.com/thor-love-thunder-jane-mcu-future-taika-waititi/

Or they both die. Or he's lying. Pretty sure he has at least a basic idea of where the overall narrative is going.

I cant take Jane Foster as all mighty Thor seriously, and I really like the first 2 Thor movies. To go from a average citizen on earth to that is too much a stretch..I know they did it in the comics but it was stupid then too. Would rather have seen Lady Sif given a proactive role instead.

Someone should point out to Zeus that these two are also in disguise...

I liked almost everything about this trailer (esp that we got more Drax, and no more starlord), from the goat-powered-floating-viking ship to the interplay between Thor and the Mighty Jane. Only had one nitpick, Zeus stripping Thor naked. They did the same gag in LOKI with Loki at the TVA, and it was played for laughs, but... I really dislike that whole "stripping someone in public for giggles" thing. Otherwise, it looks like an entertaining movie and I like how they are bringing Jane back. She even seems to have picked up an Asgardian accent, so it'll be interesting to see the full story on how the MCU's Jane becomes Thor 2.0, considering in the comics it's Odin that grants that to her when she's dying of cancer, but since Odin's already dead... I would assume they are going to tweak the story. Unless, since Jane wasn't in RAGANROK, we'll find out Odin set this in motion before he died, despite Loki having trapped him without his memories for a portion of that time between TDW and TR. I agree. It’s such a juvenile gag. And a tired one at that. And the ladies fainting over his “size” just makes it even more cringey. Exactly! Even when they did it in the LOKI series, I really disliked it. It's just gross and, as you said, juvenile.

I guess it’s supposed to be okay to demean him like this for laughs because he’s a man? It feels just as exploitative and crass as if it were done to a woman, or anyone else, regardless of gender.

Chris Hemsworth has asked/agreed to shirtless scenes in MCU to show off the work he does on his body. It started in Thor 1 when Branagh shyly suggested to do a shirtless scene which Chris came back with of course we are going to have a shirtless scene I didn't work this hard not to have one.

I agree, with it being played for laughs- that makes it demeaning. If an actor wants to be shirtless, in a shorter skirt, etc. to show off the work they did to get muscles, that's fine. More power to them. However, stripping them naked without the character's consent, then playing it for laughs --- that's what I find distasteful and gross. I don't care about the sex/gender of the actor, but when a character within the story is forcibly stripped down to little or no clothing, I think it isn't funny. It's demeaning, yet treated as fodder for jokes.

I was talking more about the nature of the joke than just the fact that he’s shirtless though.

I just think that the filmmakers are clearly hiding behind the old double standard that demeaning sexual humor can be played for easy laughs if it’s done to a male. There are far worse examples of that than this though.

There are far worse examples of that than this though. Admittedly, I've skipped out on at least half of the MCU, so the Loki and Thor ones were the main examples I could think of. I think GUARDIANS had it happen to starlord and to Rocket, although at least with Rocket they gave you a sense of him being a bit upset about it happening, as it showed how much he had endured.

MCU has gone pretty overboard with de-sexualizing their female characters. I wish the MCU would allow their women to show a bit more skin here and there. Not because I want to jack off to them or something (though I obviously still appreciate eye candy) but because it's being fairly respectful to the source material. Comicbook art is full characters showing off their physiques, both men and women. And covering up their female characters in the movies like the MCU does, it's a big part of why their female characters feel so much blander than their male characters.
