Thor: Ragnarok
WARNING : This clause moderate coddler from Thor : Ragnarok
-
Given the picture show ’s title , Thor : Ragnarokwas always going to finish with some major wipeout . And , woefully for Asgard , it was the principal target ; the third Thor movie saw the mythical kingdom decimated in the last act by the fire demon Surtur , allow for him to fulfill the Ragnarok prophecy and at the same sentence take out Hela , who pull her power from the base of the Gods . However , that does n’t stand for everything ’s over for the Asgardians .
In the Marvel Comics , Asgard ’s inhabitants fared a lot bad than their cinematic counterparts . In 2004’sThor Vol . 2 , it was in reality Loki that deviously enables the Ragnarok prophecy by obtaining the smithy that was used to make Mjolnir and stool replica hammers for his own troops . His army destroyed not just Asgard but the integral population in the ensuing struggle and Thor was left adrift in the Void of Non - Existence until he was awakened by Donald Blake - the late physician who once wielded his godly powers .
InRagnarok , Thor and Loki work together with Valkyrie , Heimdall , the Hulk , Korg and his pals to deliver the Asgardians from Hela ’s clasp and fly them away from Asgard before Surtur completely destroy the entire realm on the God of Thunder ’s decree . However , as Thor take from Odin , Asgard is not a place but its the citizenry ; as long as they hold up , then so will Asgard . The film stop with the New Asgard ( The Grandmaster ’s safety valve ship ) adrift , with the unexampled King declaring they ’ll head to Earth .
The MCU Could Be Building To The Comics' Oklahoma Asgard
TheX - Men franchisehas a long history of deal with socio - political theme matter , ensnare its portraying of racism , prejudice and cultural cleansing through a mutant genus Lens . TheMarvel Cinematic Universehas typically been more light - hearted than Fox ’s , although has still explored the moral and ethical choices of its heroes as well as the perversive power of government , bureaucracy and being superhuman . As such , a refugee narrative concerning Asgard would n’t be out of office forThor 4or another entry in the MCU .
The question is : where on Earth will Thor take is people ? In J. Michael Straczynski’sThor Vol . 3 , the God of Thunder rebuilds Asgard just outdoors of Broxton , Oklahoma . He had purchase the nation using gold from the Treasury obligations and after completing construction raises the urban center up to swim above the land with the power of the Odin - Force . He then went about find Asgardians who have been reincarnated into mortal human torso .
Could this encounter in the films ? Possibly , but first there are some barrier to get past : obviously , the Asgardians are still alert at the destruction ofThor : Ragnarok , and they may not get to Earth if the post - credit scene is anything to go by .
In the mid - credits scene , as Thor and Loki hash out their future , a bulk large ship casts a shadow over theirs , implying that their journeying to Midgard may suffer a detour . It ’s not clear who is in charge of the ginormous watercraft but its design intimate it ’s relatedAvengers : Infinity Warbig bad Thanos . The disturbed Titan is on a mission to secure all the Infinity Stones for his Gauntlet and basically exert ultimate , maniacal rule over the population . So , if it was indeed his ship that the Asgardians encountered , then he will certainly be put a wrench in the oeuvre for their ground - recoil programme ( specially ifLoki does really have the Tesseract )
Of naturally , if the Asgardians are pass over out , then that means Straczynski ’s Oklahoma storyline may see more life-time in the fourthThormovie than first persuasion , with the case rebuilding the humans in the wake of theAvengers 4 . And , if he ’s in America , this could have greater connection to the remainder of the MCU.Captain Marvelwill be set in the 1990s and introduce elements from theKree - Skrull Warstoryline . Bearing in mind that the 2008Secret Invasionseries realise Oklahoma Asgard targeted by theSkrullsand their drawing card Godkiller , Thor could potentially take on the Skrulls in his fourth solo movie too .
A New Asgard Could Explain Where Lady Sif Has Been
All that said , whileThor : Ragnarokimplies that Earth is the final destination for the Asgardians , there ’s of course always the chance that they end up somewhere else in the Nine Realms too . And that could very much explain Lady Sif ’s absence from the moving picture .
WhenScreen Rantasked Marvel Studios head Kevin Feigewhy the Asgardian warrior was not in the film , he quoted Star Wars ’ Maz Kanata and said " that is a good question for another time " hinting that her absence seizure will be explored in future movies . Lady Sif has been pretty busybodied since she was last seen deliver the Aether to The Collector for secure - keeping inThor : The Dark World ’s mid - credits scene ; Jaimie Alexander afterwards popped up inAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.to supporter Coulson and his squad deal with their Lorelai problem as well as track down a rogue Kree , Vin - Tak . That latter incident could explain her absence seizure fromThor : Ragnarok- Sif agreed to take Vin - Tak back to his homeworld , Hala , so it ’s potential the foreign mission became more complicated than expected - but could also be a footstep towards a new home ; we could see the multitude of Asgard make a detour to the capital of the Kree Empire if Earth is not an option .
While we can only speculate as to the future home of Asgard , one thing ’s for certain : whether it be on Earth , Hala or some other satellite , afterThor : Ragnaroktheir story is still far from over .
