The Problem with 2016 is that at the time of May 2016 it was the same time that the Civil War was going on and if Thor was still on Earth at the time he would be at the very least a little involve trying to calm down the two teams down.

I must say this. You are absolutely correct, but do you agree that Thor: Love and Thunder takes place around 2024?

A few things to address here, in response to everyone.

1. Yes, Love and Thunder should take place in May 2024, and we had it as such. It's not our mistake that it has been put in 2025, and things like the Screen Rant article aren't working on better info than us, they are in agreement with us from the time and are now outdated, like our work.

2. This is because the timeline book just canonically pinned it to "Fall 2025", as much as we hate it. Nothing that can be done about this. The placement had to move in accordance with this.

3. Extremely extensive discussions have been going on for a couple of months about everything that needed editing relating to the timeline due to the timeline book. A lot of work has been going into it to make hundreds of necessary edits and pick up on the consequential edits because of those edits. We have done very well with this, having covered 99% of it all on a coordinated effort moving things together.

4. A handful of things either slipped through the cracks of the edits or were intentionally reserved to come back to after the first wave of major edits. Changes to Thor and Jane's relationship in 2015-2017 were discussed along with everything else, but have already been noticed as having not made it to the edit stage yet, lined up to edit very shortly as the remaining bits and pieces are swept up.

5. Love and Thunder has only just been edited, and that relationship stuff will be edited imminently to reflect it. While ideally it would have been edited simultaneously, like I say it is simply one of the 1% of bits that didn't quite get done simultaneously and are being circled back to. We just happen to be in the few-day period of mismatch between these two edits and you have happened to catch it at that point. It's a shame this was noticed in those few days given we've worked hard to prevent this kind of thing for 99% of the timeline book edits, but just know it's about to be fixed.
