Chris Pratt and Thor shared a pretty ambiguous scene in the trailer for 'Love and Thunder', and for some reason, it has unleashed hell on Twitter.

A week after Marvel finally released the 'Love and Thunder' trailer, it's not Chris Hemsworth or Taika Waititi who got their name trending on Twitter. No, it's Chris Pratt – for literally no particular reason.

Look like some Marvel fans on social media decided that Pratt took issue with the scene he shared with Thor – the one where God of Thunder gives him a long look after Starlord urges him to look in the eyes of people he loves.

Many people baselessly claimed that Pratt hated the scene – even though the only thing the actor actually did after the trailer premiere was sharing it on his social media and announcing "showtime ".

So a bunch of social media users rose up to defend the actor, calling Marvel fans to quit trying to cancel him without a solid reason.

Fans pointed out that there is so much more about the upcoming movie to enjoy rather than fueling 'anti'-campaign against one of the actors.

The trailer scene in question particularly prompted a lot of fans to believe it was a confirmation of Starlord being bisexual in the movie – even though there has not been any official information about Peter Quill's orientation in 'Love and Thunder'. In Marvel comics, however, Starlord is officially bisexual – it was revealed in December 2020 issue No.9 of 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. In MCU 's Thor series of films by Taika Waititi only one superhero is officially queer as of now: Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie.

But we'll surely get to find out more on that after July 8, when the Thor sequel hits the big screens.
