Gender fluid and pansexual by our definitions, though he himself says how Asgardians don't really use labels the way that humans do. So this feels like a lot of excitement over what, at this stage, could be absolutely nothing, and will wind up being a missed opportunity for Marvel Studios to add some much needed diversity[...]
