Thor: Ragnarok
" Who would make headway ? " is a inquiry tossed around by comic record book fans with abandon , mixing and matching the combinations of heroes and scoundrel that they ’d like to see go head - to - mind in armed combat .
Thanks toThor : Ragnarok , we’re about to seeThorandHulk , one of the most oft - name pairings , go toe to toe in gladiatorial combat , following their more unofficial skirmish in the firstAvengersfilm .
Given the circumstance of an outer - infinite amphitheater designed to pit the galaxy ’s deadly fighters against each other , it ’s hard not to imagine other match - ups or fighters that Thor could witness during his meter in the arena , wedge to battle by Jeff Goldblum ’s Grandmaster .
This is a listing of Marvel characters who should oppose as prizefighter inThor : Ragnarok . While we ’d likely know by now if some of these were come out , they ’re all in the realm of possibility , either as the first appearance of a character from the cartoon strip into the MCU , or previously shew characters who somehow observe themselves stuck in this particularly brutal and vivacious corner of the cosmic Marvel Universe . All of them have deadly skills to convey to the sports stadium , and the potential to serve as allies or enemies to Thor and the Hulk on their escapade .
Here are the15 Marvel gladiator Who require To Be InThor Ragnarok .
15. Captain America
WhileCaptain Americahas observe his adventure Earth - bound so far , it seems likely withAvengers : Infinity Warlooming that his earthly concern is going to collide with the more cosmic element of the MCU preferably rather than afterwards .
Given that both Thor and Hulk are presumably omit by the time they ’re stuck in the arena , it does n’t seem totally outside the kingdom of hypothesis that Steve Rogers could come bet for his friends and teammates .
If he did somehow observe his direction into the coliseum , he seems utterly equipped to survive it , given his shield and considerable combat skills . While some may say he miss the ruthlessness necessary to go gladiatorial combat , it ’s significant to remember that Cap ’s skills were forged in the gauntlet of warfare .
14. Drax
When people bring up that Dave Bautista ’s performance as Drax is the highlighting of theGuardians of the Galaxymovies , it ’s his comedic contribution to the franchise that are often bring up , with little to no recognition give the genuinely visit animalism that he brings to the pretty green Guardian .
A fight arena seems like a post where Drax could thrive , break into his berserk furore and in all probability throwing off an forgetful one - line drive or two about the bizarre foreign combatant he ’d be facing .
Thor : Ragnarokalready seems to dwell a standardized nook of the Marvel cosmic universe toGuardians , with the house trailer exhibit a similarly vibrant and and retro aesthetic . Combining the timbre of theAvengersandGuardiansmovies is a great idea as is , but why not take it a step further by introducing some of the characters prior to their big team - up inAvengers : Infinity War ?
13. Nova
The firstGuardians of the Galaxyfilm introduced to the Nova Corps , the Xandar - based cosmic police force-out channelize up by Glenn Close ’s Nova Prime , and left fans clamoring for the eventual entry of Richard Ryder , aka Nova .
In the comics , after a cataclysmal case leaves the Nova Corps decimated , Richard terminate up taking on all of of their power by himself , create him a in truth cosmic force to be count on with . While the Nova Corps has so far been portrayed very differently in the MCU than in the strip , it seems feasible that a similar event could pull up stakes a piteous human member of the Nova Corps in possession of more power than he knows what to do with .
While it has always seemed most likely that Nova ’s eventual introduction would come in aGuardians of the Galaxymovie , he ’s just as likely to pop up as a gladiator inThor : Ragnarok . If the Grandmaster ’s arena somehow captured a Nova Corps officer , making it the human Ryder would give Thor a connection to his adopted major planet , as well as be a great easter egg for fan .
12. The Warbound
InPlanet Hulk , the dear Hulk plot line that parts ofThor : Ragnarokseem to be accommodate from , Hulk adopts a syndicate of warrior to get him through his meter in the arena .
There ’s the rock Korg , the monk Hiroim , the bug - comparable Miek , and the hive - minded Brood . While the MCU does n’t have the rights to The Brood , Korg is already confirmed to be wager byThor : Ragnarok’sdirector , Taika Waititi , in the picture show . It would be great to see one of the other member ’s of the Warbound seem as well .
Miek seems like the most obvious choice , especially given the bow that he has inPlanet Hulk , transform over time from a little hemipteron - man who worships the Hulk , into a more formidable bug - monster who has become disillusion with his angry , dark-green wise man .
11. Rocket and Groot
While it would be promiscuous to fill this list withGuardians of the Galaxycharacters , Rocket and Groot seem like the most potential case ( after Drax ) to find out themselves in this kind of mess . Due to Rocket ’s predilection for stealing and Groot ’s worldwide obliviousness , it ’s easy to imagine them being bemuse into an arena to atone for their crimes .
They would , of course , crusade as a team , which their jailer would likely allow , feed Rocket ’s stature and apparent harmlessness . consider that Groot is likely to have returned to full - sizing by the events of this movie , as the movie takes place years afterGuardians of the Galaxy Volume 2,they would be more than capable of holding their own against all way of alien warrior , specially generate the stage of reliance and teamwork between them .
Plus , who does n’t need to see Rocket and Groot give ear out with the Hulk ?
10. Ant-Man
In summation to the presumably hilarious raillery that would come out between Scott Lang , Hulk , and Thor , Ant - Manseems like a persona with something fun and unique to the prizefighter coiffure ofThor : Ragnarok , both in personality and combat style . Captain America : Civil Warshowed him as a genuine threat who could hold his own against more veteran heroes , even before busting out the big guns and growing into a giant .
Its unclear precisely how Scott would line up his way onto an alien planet , but like the rest of Earth ’s Heron , his life history is about to get much more cosmic very promptly . While he ’s probably decease to be freaked out as it is when he break up against Thanos and his buddy , it would be a blast to see Ant - Man thrown into the deep - end of the MCU , and have to push for his lifespan in deadly combat . Plus , his powers would bring a level of diplomacy and hanky panky that Hulk and Thor are painfully lacking in .
9. Red Hulk
Why settle for one Hulk when you could have two ? In the strip , Red Hulk is Bruce Banner ’s long - prison term curse General Thaddeus " Thunderbolt " Ross , whose last MCU show was as a intimacy for the governance inCaptain America : Civil War . In fact , it was originally planned that Ross would Hulk out at some tip in that film , but the idea was scrapped when it became manifest how overstuffed the film was was danger of get .
While the old - school day dark-green variety of Hulk is said to get impregnable the Rubia tinctorum he gets , the Red Hulk gets hotter , give off more and more radiation . It would be absorbing to see the Red Hulk pressure to survive alongside Hulk and Thor in the coliseum , only for it to be revealed that he was actually General Ross .
8. Iron Man Armor
Tony Stark is keeping himself busy these day , with appearances in a huge issue of MCU movies . Considering that he ’s probable to play a large role inAvengers : Infinity Warand its unnamed sequel , the possibility of his appearing inThor : Ragnarokseems remote . Fortunately , its become clean that Tony does n’t want to be somewhere for Iron Man to be there . It would be interesting to see a rogue case ofIron Manarmor force to prove itself in the orbit , either with Tony ’s influence or without .
mayhap Tony send some armour to search for the Hulk , or perhaps it got conscript by some sort of foreign life - form or virus , but imagine Thor and Hulk encounter something so conversant so far from menage . It could be a raw causa of armor antecedently unobserved in the Marvel Universe , or the Hulk could get a chance at a rematch against the Hulkbuster case .
7. Volstagg
Thor ’s amiable and bearded friend Volstagg is having abig yearin the funnies , which seduce it a utter meter for him to try a higher profile in the MCU . While any of the warrior Three could practicably make an show , Volstagg seems like the one with the most potential in a gladiator situation , not only because of his fearsome height and skills with a giant axe , but also for his gruff - yet - mental theatrical role .
Thor is going to run across a favorable case from Earth in the signifier of the Hulk , so Volstagg could attend to as his continue connexion to Asgard . Of course , give the nameRagnarokand the high - stake events that seem to lead Thor to his immurement in the coliseum , it ’s possible that Volstagg is no longer live at the meter . If he is , though , it would be a blast to see him put that axe to good work as one of Thor and Hulk ’s fellow gladiator .
6. Abomination
unobserved and jug since the other days of the MCU , Emil Blonsky , aka The Abomination , is more than ready to make his reemergence onto the superhero scene . In addition to being played by darling actor Tim Roth , theIncredible Hulkvillain is one of the only other the great unwashed in the MCU besides Thor who can go toe - to - toe against the Hulk , and his bearing would be sure to be a major complicatedness .
Rumored to be support in a impregnable S.H.I.E.L.D. facility , it ’s unclear how Blonsky would make his means into the far reaches of the universe , but it ’s a safe wager that he would bask nothing more than an opportunity to take another shot at the Hulk . If he were outfitted with gladiator equipment similar to the equipment that Hulk has been seen wearing in the house trailer , this would surely be a re - equal for the ages .
