MCU fans have once pointed out that Amora the Enchantress, one of Thor’s enemies in the comics, will appear in the film. Amora is so powerful that she can give a tough fight to Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange. Marvel has not announced anything regarding the character’s debut but it will be great if fans get to see a small cameo in the post-credits.

Marvel Studios has always tried to hide the important details related to its upcoming projects. This time, however, Russell Crowe’s appearance on 'Thor: Love and Thunder' sets was revealed through some viral pictures. He later confirmed that he would play the Olympian god of Thunder Zeus, whose inclusion will open up the possibility of other Olympians appearing in the upcoming films.

Mist

A few sources reported at the beginning of 2022 that Marvel might introduce a character related to Thor and the New Mutants. She could make a appearance in the movie. Mist, a Valkyrie and friend of Danielle Moonstar, is also a member of the New Mutants. Mist might take over as Valkyrie’s new Queen and having them rule together could lead to new changes in the MCU while Marvel incorporates Mutants into the equation and leads the upcoming films to a proper finale in Phase 4.
