Thor: Ragnarok
With $ 165 million already in the bank and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 93%,Thor : Ragnarokis already one ofMarvel ’s biggest hits , proving their gang - pleasing formula remains thoroughly intact . It ’s one of the most outright comedic films Marvel has done yet , while adding that sense of oversized spectacle that fan have come to expect .
Thor : Ragnarokis by far the best solo picture show for The God of Thunder , also featuring classic second for recurring characters including Hulk , Loki , Heimdall , and Odin , while showcasing new eccentric like Cate Blanchett ’s Hela and Tessa Thompson ’s breakout role as Valkyrie .
But as we all know , a Marvel movie is n’t just meant to abide on its own– each celluloid flirt and expands the MCU further . And director Taika Waititi admit several new plot of land yarn , Easter Eggs and other clues that will inform the remaining films in Marvel ’s Phase 3 , including the upcomingAvengers : Infinity War .
So if you ’ve seenThor : Ragnarökand have dozens of questions in your foreland about which story constituent offer further ramifications for the MCU , you ’ve come to the right stead . Let ’s take a flavour at15 Burning Questions We Have After Thor : Ragnarok .
15. Will Valkyrie Get Her Own Film?
Tessa Thompson ’s performance as Valkyrie is already one of the well received elements inThor : Ragnarok . She steal almost every scene she was in as her function as a loath submarine sandwich ready to revisit her birthplace to lay off Hela . So we all require to know– is she going to get her own movie at some peak ?
Marvel has been notoriously slow to green - light a solo female moving-picture show ( Captain Marvelwon’t be released until 2019 ) , but Thompson certainly is game for a female - conduct MCU entry . In fact , she ’d like to seean all - female squad film – as she mentioned in a recent press league : " I march up with a couple of other women that work in Marvel … and we went to Kevin , ‘ What about a movie with some distaff crack heroes ? Like all of them ? ’ "
Feige agreed , but nothing has been lay in stone yet . With Thompson ’s profile jump , do n’t be surprised to see it bump rather than after .
14. What Will Her Role Be In Infinity War?
Thompson was spy on the mark ofInfinity Warback in May , so Valkyrie will by all odds play in a part in the third Avengers movie . But how big of a role will she play ? The actress has been cagey discussing her involvement , saying “ You never live where mass will toss off up . In the next phase , the hope is to ascertain means to interweave all these character … she ’s part of the arras now . "
Given the bond she now share with Thor and Hulk , she is already Avengers stuff ( she was a Revenger , after all ) , so it would be thrilling to see another substantial distaff character join the roster .
Whatever office she plays in the upcoming movie , and the MCU in general , will certainly draw attention , grant the confident reaction to her grapheme .
13. Whose Spaceship Was That in the Mid-Credits Scene?
If you need clue that bestow to the futurity of the MCU , mid - credits scenes always offer up a peek , andThor : Ragnarökwas no exception .
After Asgard was destroyed , Thor and Loki mused on where to take the survivors they had rescued on their ballistic capsule . They decide to settle for Earth ( well Thor does , but Loki is , understandably , less than mad ) , but no earlier do they make their decision when they ’re confronted by a massive spaceship blocking their way . So whose ship is it ?
In a slice forThe Wrap , Marvel Studios manufacturer Kevin Feige say “ We call it the Sanctuary II , ” otherwise experience as the ship carry the nefarious Thanos , who the Avengers will present off against inInfinity War . This lines up with the forward motion footagescreened at this twelvemonth ’s D3 , which showed the Guardians of the Galaxy rescuing Thor from mysterious space .
12. Did Loki Steal the Tesseract?
So now that we know Thanos has intercepted Thor and his people , the next interrogative is why ? A scene near the end ofRagnarokgives us a speck : Loki is seen eying the Tesseract in Odin ’s hurdle . Was it just a nostalgic instant run across the gimmick with which he almost enslave Earth ? Or didhe steal it again ?
Thanos would love nothing more than to summate the Tesseract to his Infinity Stone assemblage and advance outright magnate in the coltsfoot , so odds are effective Loki has it in towage . It would also make signified in regards to thatInfinity Warfootage– Thanos takes the sugar with Loki in towage while Thor is kicked off the ship during the conflict . So where is everyone else ? We ’ll just have to await and see , but do n’t be surprised if some of the Asgardian refugeestake a dark twist .
Speaking of Infinity Stones : where is the Soul Stonethat was bruit to appear inRagnarök ? We call up we may have an idea ofwhere it ultimately turns up .
11. Is Hela Really Dead?
Cate Blanchett ’s Hela is have it away as " the goddess of destruction , " but it appeared she was n’t resistant to deathrate herself– it looked like Thor ’s sis was kill battling against Surtur , dying along with the planet .
However , thisisMarvel we ’re talking about , where very few characters remain beat for long . And given we were never shown a setting of a lifeless body office - struggle , or a close shot of her croak onscreen , she might very well still be alive . The only caveat is that she draws her power from Asgard itself . If the planet is beat , could she subsist at all ?
One would have to think Blanchett was n’t cast for a one - and - done role , so we ’re calculate heavily that we have n’t seen the last of Hela , much to Thor and Loki ’s chagrin . There ’s even speculation she could give as Death herself , the powerful being that Thanos seeks to impress with his destructive ways .
10. Will Thor Get His Eye Back?
In a astonishingly violent moment in an otherwise lighthearted moving-picture show , Thor loses an orb in a fight with Hela . The film ends with our hero sporting a strapless metallic element patch like his pop , Odin . This mirror a present moment in the comic : in the “ Rune King Thor " story arc , Thor plucks out his own eyeball ( just as his Padre did ) , as a sacrifice to better assist him manage and realise his exponent .
Losing an eye is n’t the only ornamental modification that Thor went through of course– he lost his long flow blonde locks as well . Hair at least can grown back on its own , but will Thor get a new orb through either conjuring trick or skill ?
It ’s anyone guess , but the overture technology he ’ll be secluded to in the coltsfoot might propose a curative . Otherwise it ’s just another fight scar that adds to his mythos and persona development .
9. What is Grandmaster’s Ultimate Fate?
Another highlight inThor : Ragnarokwas Jeff Goldblum going full Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster , the aureate goofball ruler of Sakaar , who enjoys the sanguinary mutation of his Contest of Champions . The goal of the film sees him lose his powerful status when his two loot warriors ( Thor and Hulk ) escape and his people revolt .
In the post - credits setting , he encounters a group of rebels inspired by the two superheroes to rise up against their ruler . In an cause to thwart being killed , he essay to laugh off a regime alteration by claiming " It ’s a necktie ! ”
So the ultimate question is did he bring home the bacon in saving his own skin ? Or will he meander up being scar against a combatant in a new contest of hero of which he is n’t in charge ?
We desire he survives , so that he can eventuallymeet up with his brother , better screw as The Collector ( Benecio Del Toro ) , in a succeeding MCU accounting entry .
8. Will We See More of Matt Damon, Sam Neill, and Luke Hemsworth?
One of the most screaming aspect , in a very screaming moving-picture show , was seeing Matt Damon playingLoki in a play commissioned by Loki himself ( in camouflage as Odin ) , which put his role in a far more heroic light than his true self .
Damon was join by Chris Hemsworth ’s sidekick Luke take on Thor , and Sam Neill doing his own take on Odin . It was a wonderfully absurd moment that highlight just how Loki never sees himself as the villain .
The bit last just a few proceedings , but leaves us want more . We ’re hoping for an extended mock scene with Damon , Neill , and Hemsworth to be included on the eventualThor : RagnarokBlu - ray , along with some gag - reel outtakes . This alternate version of the Asgardian family is too awesome not to search further .
7. What’s Next For Korg?
Korg may be one of the more apart Marvel comic characters to debut in the MCU , but he ’s already a fan pet . The character reference ( played in bit - hood by director Taika Waititi ) , is like a more articulated Groot ; a soft giant , augmented by an endearing apteryx stress .
The theatrical role , who first appear in the 2006 comic ledger arcPlanet Hulk(whichRagnarokwas partly based on ) is already such a big bang that fans clamoring for more .
We ’re assuming we ’ll get more Korg inInfinity War , but in what capacity ? Will he be in anymore MCU projects ? accord to Feige , the solvent is yes : “ We have plans for Korg and Miek . When and where we ’ll have to hold back and see , but we , like the audience now that they ’ve seen them , ca n’t get enough . ”
6. Will Thor Ever Reunite With Jane Foster?
One of the major plot component from the first two Thor motion-picture show , was the Cuban sandwich ’s romantic human relationship with Jane Foster ( Natalie Portman ) . Thus , her omission fromThor : Ragnarokwas somewhat jarring . So what happened to her character ?
The information out there is conflicting– on screen , Thor encounters a fan on Earth who says she ’s sorry Thor was dumped by Jane , though Thor claims"it was a mutual dumping . “According to Kevin Feige , Foster was jettison in favour of see Hemsworth play opposite Thompson : “ We want Thor to encounter somebody that was near his adequate and that his family relationship with Jane may have evolved in unexpected ways in betweenThe Dark WorldandRagnarok . "
Portmanhas also had an ambivalent human relationship with Marvelever sinceWonder Womandirector Patty Jenkins departed from directing the originalThorfilm back in 2011 . The mediocre response to the sequelThor : The Dark Worldlikely did n’t help matters .
In a 2016 interviewwith theWall Street Journal , Portman did n’t seem too broken up about it , saying " as far as I have a go at it , I ’m done . "
