As I've said on Twitter, I miss the good old days when comic book movies actually gave us footage in a teaser trailer that didn't air two months before the movie actually opens and it was okay to actually show footage instead of being so overtly secretive. I get it, times have changed and most of these movies have unfinished C.G.I. Even a majority of the sets are sadly C.G. now instead of practically built sets. But it would've been nice to have had a trailer already before this leak.

There probably hasn't been a trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder because there's a decent chance the movie will be pushed back. A couple of reasons are:

1. They were doing reshoots as recently as March 2022.
2. Behind the camera talent threatened to strike in October 2021. They won improved working conditions such as shorter work days and guaranteed rest periods. Any movie that wasn't "in the can" before October 2021 will be effected by this. Just to be clear, this is a good thing. Many of these people were working 14-16 hour days with little rest in-between. But this does mean that it takes longer to make the film and complete post production.

Even if Love and Thunder isn't getting pushed back, they could've held off on a trailer for a couple of reasons.
1. The promotional window for Black Widow and Shang-Chi were way off. They may want to make sure they can make their release date before they begin marketing the film.
2. Moon Knight was just released on D+ and they wanted to keep the hype and fan discussion on the show for the first few episodes rather than over-shadow the premiere with a Thor trailer.
3. Disney could be saving the Thor trailer for their presentation at CinemaCon. Trailers (sometimes even whole movies) will premiere at CC (April 25-28).
