concluding admonition , spoiler start now .

InRagnarok , however , that ’s all over . After Hela ’s destroyed Mjolnir and   ( she trust ) killed Thor and Loki , she aims to take Asgard , stopping anyone who may baulk her - including the Warriors .   Volstagg and Fandral are bolt down as she enters through the   Bifrost , with the Goddess of Death effortlessly   stab them with immaculately   create knives . Hogun puts up more of a fight , challenging Hela at the entree of the metropolis but he too is speared in a rather crimson manner .

Kevin Feige addressed the killing off of three antecedently essential characters at theThor : Ragnarokjunket press conference ( whereScreen Rantwas in attendance ) ,   defending the manner of their Death and spotlight how it was essential in arrange up Hela as a force to be work out with :

The Warriors Three arrive on Earth in Thor

" Well , it was a - they , they had noble ends - in the main to serve the arrival of Hela , the arrival of the bad villain into the MCU , who within the first five moment destroys the hammer , kicks Loki and Thor out of Asgard , and kills almost anyone we ’ve ever meet before in the other movies . Which is really - we need it to start with a bang . "

The death of the Warriors Threehas been predicted and , as Feige points out , in the moving picture itself does serve a vainglorious intent ; if Cate Blanchett ’s scoundrel is able-bodied to beat Thor , Loki and the warrior Three in platter time , how can he desire to beat her ? The risk with   the gambit is that fans of the deuce-ace will be trouble by how suddenly they ’re drink down ,   or that the deficiency of set - up will mean those less au   fait with the Thor film ( Ragnarokis in many ways serve as a strong reboot of the series ) wo n’t appreciate the somberness of the situation . Indeed , the Warriors are n’t that well - remembered , to the stage Zachary Levi replaced Josh Dallas as Fandral inThor : The Dark Worldand few commented on it .

Feige went on to say that the death was n’t flippant and " They will be remembered . " This will be good to get word for some fans - once the Warriors are deadened , they are n’t mentioned again and Thor does n’t take any prison term out of his risky venture to mourn . With the film very much about home being where the nerve is , that feel like a overleap opportunity and will hopefully be send for back to   inAvengers : Infinity War .

Lady Sif and the Warriors Three

Also overlooked was Lady Sif , who due to Jamie Alexander ’s programing issue does n’t appear in the film at all . When speaking withScreen Rant , Feige say too that   her whereabouts will be deal , although when is another affair .
