Thor: Ragnarok
During Marvel ’s Open House upshot , phallus of the mechanical press were invited to tour Marvel Studios , where executive producer Victoria Alonso andThor : Ragnarokdirector Taika Whatiti unveiled a fiber that has n’t been announced in the cinema yet .
Last fall , Taika Whatiti post a characterization on Instagram of a Korg keyboard foot lever with the caption,“Watch this infinite # Ragnarok . “At the time we did n’t know if Taika was dropping a hint at about the inclusion body Planet Hulk ’s elephantine rock goliath Korg or trolling fan . Now it look like we can substantiate that we ’ll be seeing the Korg and insectoid alien Miek in Thor : Ragnarok . Here ’s what Whatiti had to say about Korg :
" His name is Korg , like the piano , and he ’s a Kronan ! I signify , I know you ’ve see ( Thor ) Dark World . At the kickoff of Dark World , there ’s a Kronan there . This is kind of a congress to that hombre . He ’s not as tall . He ’s sort of about eight feet tall , and he ’s um , made of sway . He ’s one of the creatures featured in the Planet Hulk storyline along with another character call Miek who is also in the film , so we ’re borrow those from their storyline and putting them in the arena , the Contest of Champions , that the Grandmaster , Jeff Goldblum runs on the major planet Sakaar , which the Hulk is the main champion . "
In the comic , his body is made up of an alien silicon - based meaning that makes him very durable and incredibly warm . The picture that was render of Korg was very remainest of his comic book counterpart except for the color of rock that Korg seems more like a graphite case color . In Planet Hulk , Korg is a prisoner on the major planet of Sakaar , and is pressure into gladiatorial conflict for entertainment . He ends up becoming an friend an important ally of Hulk ’s and plays a pivotal theatrical role in helping the Hulk appropriate the planet . Whatiki rifle on to say,“He ’s one of the few characters to befriend Thor on the satellite . He helps him out . Sort of explicate how things go and becomes an ally to Thor . “It seem like the Grandmaster is seemingly replacing the Red King from the Planet Hulk storyline and the God of Thunder has the Hulk ’s role .
The other character from the Planet Hulk plot line that will be appearing in the film is Miek . Miek starts off as an ally to the Hulk but later tries to manipulate him into rampage across the galaxy , as well as destroying Earth . The liveliness that we visit of Miek had him in a red exoskeleton suit and he was doing some form of kung fu . Here ’s what Taika had to say about Miek :
" This other character here is Miek . He ’s from the cartoon strip as well . He ’s sort of like an insectoid . He sort of has a cool exoskeleton with knife hand . He ’s basically sort of a larva shape thing . He master the exoskeleton with these controls and stuff . He ’s way more graceful than Korg . Much more effective and Miek does not talk . "
Whatiki also require to interchange how the character of Korg is perceived . He is described as being huge and heavy with a very clean soul , and very lovable . Whatiki then let us know that would be playing Korg in the motion - seizure and voicing the persona . We were then treated to a shot of Thor : Ragnarok where Thor is first enter to Korg and Miek in the cadre of the Grandmaster . Korg introduces himself to Thor quite uproariously . Thor inquire how he and Miek stop up in the Grandmaster ’s cells . Miek replies,“I tried to start up a revolution but I did n’t print enough pamphlets . “He then tries to enroll Thor for his next revolution .
The tone ofThor : Ragnarokis drastically different thanThor : The Dark World . Korg seems like he will bring a much need unclouded - heartedness to the enfranchisement that was emphatically lacking before . Whatiti seems to be hinting that Korg could be the heart of this film and could slip every view he is in . We ’ll have to await until November to see Korg , Miek , and Thor start their gyration in the battle arena .
