Thor: Ragnarok
It flex out there ’s a reason why Jeff Goldblum ’s The Grandmaster is n’t blue inThor : Ragnarok , like his laughable book counterpart . Guardians of the Galaxyproperly present the first Elder of the Universe to the MCU with the Collector , pursue his appearance during the credit ofThor : The Dark World . The Grandmasteris also an Elder of the Universe and in the domain of Marvel Comics , he ’s a wizard with cosmic power who loves playing various games with living beings . He and the Collector often join together in these schemes , in fact , and it ’s rumored that theElders will wreak a larger purpose in the MCUin the future .
InRagnarok , The Grandmaster will be running the prizefighter arena on Sakaar . where Thor and Hulk do struggle . Thanks to some images and theThor : Ragnarokteaser trailer , we now know Goldblum will appear as the character . While his appearances differs slenderly from the comics , it match the more over - the - top appearing of the Elders . It also pairs nicely with Benecio del Toro ’s take on the Collector . Still , some buff have marvel why Goldblum is n’t blue - skinned , like in the funnies .
IGNspoke withRagnarokdirector Taika Waititi about this very matter , and he had a rather laughable result :
" Because he [ Jeff Goldblum ] did another movie where he was racy . "
You ’re undoubtedly raking your mind right now , trying to imagine Goldblum as a profane alien . For all but a few , however , that project will be difficult as Waititi is refer to the furor filmEarth Girls Are Easyfrom 1988 . Mostly shown on cable late at dark , it ’s the character of matter Waititi would be all too cognizant of and a funny excuse for alter the Grandmaster from the germ material . The director go on to add that Goldblum ’s unique style encourage him to not obscure the actor too much , so that he could gleam on his own . Considering Goldblum ’s idiosyncratic presence as a performing artist , it ’s for certain a smart move .
fortunately , the lack of puritanical skin wo n’t embarrass the strategy of the Grandmaster . His arena , though colorful , will likely spell trouble for our heroes . That said , it will get fan as close toPlanet Hulkas they ’re ever likely to get in the MCU . We ’ve also memorise that gladiator such asKorg and Miek come along inRagnarok , furthering strengthening the movie ’s tie-up to the fan - favoritePlanet Hulkcomic arc . The next full trailer forThor : Raganarok- a trailer that could debut atMarvel ’s Comic - Con panelthis summer - may provide a dependable idea of how both these element and the Grandmaster anatomy into the flick ’s storyline .
