The Punisher Season 2: 15 Easter Eggs & References Explained

6. Valhalla

Russo and his pals colloquially refer to their heist hideout as "Valhalla" late in the season, a bizarre turn of phrase considering that this is the MCU, where Thor (Chris Hemsworth) actually exists, and therefore so too does Valhalla, which has been referenced by numerous Asgardians throughout the MCU movies.

There are two possible explanations here - Russo is either simply paying tribute to the legendary Norse hall filled with fallen soldiers, or the average human being isn't aware that Thor's existence confirms the existence of Valhalla.

We're probably overthinking this one, but it's nevertheless a cute tip of the hat to the wider MCU.
