This movie will be a wokefest.

it looks like

So far Marvel has been able to avoid anything remotely "woke," so I wouldn't anticipate any overt politics in Thor 4. The Jane Foster has cancer storyline is straight from the comics, and there was no political statement present in the comic. Hopefully the same will be the case with the film.

A wokefest because a character has cancer ?

They're calling it a "wokefest" because a female character will have screentime. And presumably, a male character will be called on to care about her feelings.
