Marvel Studios may have found itsThor : Ragnarokhelmer in actor - directorTaika Waititias we reported sooner this month but now we ’re learning why Marvel is   seeking someone with comedy chop to helm the thirdThoradventure . As it turns out , Thor : Ragnarok’sscript is too saturnine .

BothThorandThor : The Dark Worldare some of the light and comedic films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , and given the weaknesses of the history and villain   of the sequel , a modification in guidance and tone is something the next movie - about the " oddment of all things " no less - really could utilise . But not so forMarvel Studios ' revamped leadership .

Earlier today we reported the rumour that Mark Ruffalo ’s Bruce Banner a.k.a . Hulk would be   returning in Phase 3 before the nextAvengersmovie , and that itcould be inThor 3 .   Confirming that tidings with their own source , BMDreports that this is indeed the event . They also add that theThor : Ragnarokscreenplay by   Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle is too dark , hence why   Waititi was brought in to direct and pluck the painting . Another author may connect the creative team too to lighten it up to check the Marvel formula .

That could be in force or bad news depending on who you require , but the   exciting stuff comes in the newly revealedThor 3story details . BMD’sinside sources reveal that Hulk ’s role is n’t just a invitee visual aspect , but a lead part   where he and Thor will relish a " cosmic dangerous undertaking " of kind . They ’ll come across theValkyrieson their journeying and yes , there ’s a very actual possibilitytheValkyrie readers may discern from the Defenders , Secret Avengers , Ultimates , Marvel video recording games and theHulk vs. Thoranimated feature film , cognize as   Brunnhilde will be introduced .

The Valkyries , in the Marvel Comics and Norse Mythology , are the goddesses who pick out the worthy   fallen warriors from the battleground to bring them to Valhalla . There they feed and prepare for Ragnarok ( the end of the universe ) . And from what Marvel Studios Bos Kevin Feige said last year whenannouncing the titleThor : Ragnarok , the moviewillhave a major impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe as its name implies .

So , not only is Hulk allow Earth in Phase 3 to join Thor in this event , but Marvel may introduce another brawny Asgardian superhero who could make her way to Earth finally . Interestingly enough , Valkyrie almost debut inThor : The Dark World .   Marvel Studios commission concept artistic production during pre - production but decided not to use the character . Here are some of those construct that Josh Nizzi ( Avengers 1 & 2 , Iron Man 3 , Captain America : The Winter Soldier ) designed for Marvel for an idea for how   a live - action adaptation of Valkyrie may look :

Valkyrie is Asgardian ,   sports the appropriate armor and apply a large sword as a principal weapon . In all of Nizzi ’s prowess she use a spear as well , an appropriate arm for hogback ( Pegasus ? ) combat .

BMDdoesn’t have the precise details on the Valkyries and how they ’ll factor in   into theThor : Ragnarokstory yet , but if   Brunnhilde is premise , Marvel Studios may have solved theirlong - termThorproblem .   Chris Hemsworth ’s declaration , like many of the other   originalAvengersstars ,   cease withAvengers : Infinity Warand if Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige - who does have more fiscal exemption now as the real foreman of the film division - ca n’t re - sign the Aussie star , there ’s a logical manner to   continue the series .

We   explained how the studio can take a page from the source material   if they postulate or want   to developThor 4without Hemsworthas its lead , and it involved introducingfemale Thor . In the comics , that version of Thor ( insert last year ) is really Jane Foster , played by Natalie Portman in the movies . By all accounts , Portman   was unhappy with Marveldue to original film director Patty Jenkins being removed from the labor and it ’s hard to project   the Oscar winner baffle around after her obligation with the studio apartment .   That part can be filled by Valkyrie instead .

Wasp announce to be headlining theAnt - Mansequel last week and nowThor : Ragnarokpotentially introducing another heroine alongsideSif(Jaimie Alexander ) are just word update for the MCU . We were told to expectThor 3casting , author and director newsthis year so expect more inside information shortly …
