Elsewhere, Chris Hemsworth’s “Fat Thor” from Avengers: Endgame has seen searches rise by 4,600% while Stranger Things‘ Demogorgon has seen a surge of 300% in searches and the “Scoops Ahoy” outfit has also proved popular.
The most popular search for a couple’s costume is Lilo and Stitch, with Mario and Luigi and Rick and Morty also both appearing in the top ten. Google also reports that Descendants is top of its group-related searches, sitting above Fortnite in second with Stranger Things, Toy Story and Star Wars all ranking inside the ten most-searched group costumes.
