Thor: Ragnarok
Thor : Ragnarokisn’t just one of the most anticipated risible book moving picture of 2017 , it ’s one of 2017 ’s most eagerly - anticipate movies , period . The epic cosmic installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will sport Thor himself ( obviously ) , theHulk , andDoctor Strange , amongst a plethora of otherweird and wonderful charactersfrom across the galaxy . These will include Loki , Odin , the Collector , the Grandmaster , Hela , Skurge the public executioner , and Valkyrie — and that ’s not even close to mentioning everyone .
One aspect of the movie that is certain to showcase an abundance of fun , gonzo eccentric is the gladiatorial area ( the subplot of the movie taken from thePlanet Hulkstory arc from the funny books ) . Hulk and Thor will both notice themselves as captive gladiators on the distant planet of Sakaar , defend against beings from all corner of the cosmos . The awesomefirst teaser trailerfrom earlier this week even showed them going into battle against each other , which is sure to be the highlight of the film .
At this stage , we have no real thought about who the other gladiator might be — but it ’s for sure fun to theorize , and that ’s exactly what we ’ve done here . So , countenance us run you through sixteen gladiator we ’d screw to see inThor : Ragnarok .
16. The Red King
Now , although we know that the Grandmaster — played by Jeff Goldblum , no less — will be in charge of the gladiator fight inThor : Ragnarok , that does n’t mean there wo n’t be any space in the movie for the Red King , who was the emperor butterfly of the gladiatorial planet of Sakaar and bleed the battles in both thePlanet Hulkcomic Word arc and animate movie .
The Red King may still be the planet ’s overlord , a rule who but allows the Grandmaster to oversee events in his gladiatorial arena , and that would be awing . In thePlanet Hulkstory , the Red King tires of the Hulk ’s dominance in the sports stadium and don his impressive golden power armour and takes on the Green Goliath in a gladiatorial struggle . That would be absolutely fantastic to see in live - natural action ( think Hulk versus the Hulkbuster armour , but the man in the armor wants to dead destroy him this meter , not just put him to kip ) .
15. Lavin Skee
Lavin Skee was an Imperial Guardsman who was extremely loyal to the said Red King . When his skipper , Ronan Kaifi , was forced to become a gladiator because he spoke out against the Red King ’s conglomerate , Skee was crusade into the arena as well . His headmaster was killed while school for battle , and Lavin Skee took it upon himself to defend Elloe , his master ’s girl , as a outcome .
Skee die scrap alongside the Hulk and his gladiatorial allies when they were attempted to fight for their exemption . He was subsequently chip in a hero ’s funeral by his mate , and was entire in uniting the gladiators to form the team that would become known as the Warbound . It would be great to see him in bouncy - action as a gladiator inThor : Ragnarok , as his decease and the subsequent coming together of Hulk and his fellow gladiators would potentially hint towards aWorld War Hulkarc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe get going ahead .
14. Caiera
Caiera was a former slave to the aforementioned Red King who worked her way up to becoming the Lieutenant of his army . Having antecedently fought against the Hulk in the gladiatorial arena , she eventually turn on the Red King and allied with the Green Goliath , becoming a prominent member of the Warbound group that he led .
The two eventually married , though she by and by died while pregnant with his twin Word , Skaar and Hiro Kala . It would be rattling to see her inThor : Ragnarok , as her inclusion in the movie could have some heroic leg break forward — not least in the form of theWorld War Hulkstory discharge and the nascence of Hulk ’s two sons , who could go on to be exceedingly challenging opponent of their father in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in future franchise sashay . If nothing else , it would be coolheaded as underworld to see her wield her awesome steel in the gladiatorial field .
13. John Cena
Back in November , thanks to an odd addition to the film ’s IMDB Thomas Nelson Page , there was a rumor floating around that WWE superstar John Cena has been cast inThor : Ragnarok . Although it is n’t certain who he ’s performing , hearsay has it that he ’s supposedly been stray as himself . While this might but mean that there ’s a scene in the picture taking topographic point at a WWE hand-to-hand struggle event on Earth , we ’re actually hoping that Cena has a far more interesting cameo than that .
With that in mind , we want to see John Cena in the gladiatorial arena ! The construct of the arena ( inPlanet Hulk , at least ) is that the organizers entrance and enslave warrior being from all over the universe to take part in battles . It would be funny , therefore , to see him there because folk who kidnapped and bring him there mistake him for a real warrior , having observed him " competing " at the top of the WWE nutrient chemical chain for so many eld .
We ’d conciliate for realise him play some sort of alien warrior , of course , but ifRagnarokis as much of acomedy as music director Taika Waititi would have us consider , an entirely human John Cena getting dropped in the arena against superpowered galactic warriors could get a big laugh .
12. Howard the Duck
Nowthiswould be great . It would make a fantastical ongoing gag if we just kept see to it Howard the Duck in unfortunate spot across the cosmos of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . deliver him cameo in the franchise again , this time as a absorbed gladiator inThor : Ragnarok — after having previously seen him jailed as an exhibit in the Collector ’s museum in 2014’sGuardians of the Galaxy — would be funny as snake pit . The poor cat !
Perhaps it could be considered revenge on the character forhis terrible 1986 movie ! Seriously , that movie was utterly awful ! Howard would n’t stand much of a prospect against the like of the Hulk and Thor in the gladiatorial arena , but it would sure as shooting raise a few laughter to see him hear . judge by his reaction to see the Collector get his face licked by Cosmo at the end of the aforementionedGuardians of the Galaxy , his reaction to the whole matter would be pretty hilarious , too .
11. Miek
Miek is an worm - like being from thePlanet Hulkstory arc . Having been catch and enslave for gladiatorial combat along with the Hulk , Miek was one of the character who allied with the Green Goliath and went on to form the Warbound with him . As we ’ve already stated , including these guys in some capacity could tease aWorld War HulkMarvel Cinematic Universe electric discharge in future , the awesomeness of which can not be understate . Miek is a subject fighter , but moderately more timid than the other Warbound member , which would tot an interesting moral force to the group .
Miek would look fantastic in live - military action , so it would be awing to see him for esthetic purposes alone . By tie-up , Miek ’s fellow insectoid Sakaaran native — such as Mung — could also link him on screen , which would be corking . We ’ve already had talking raccoons and giant walking trees in the MCU , so why not jumbo , speak worm ? ! Absolutely anything is possible in the Marvel cosmos , and nothing should be unexpected now .
10. Arch-E-5912
pixilated - E-5912 — otherwise known simply as Arch - einsteinium — is a non - organic mechanical man of the lifeforms known as Wildebots . His specific origins are unnamed , but it is wear he was in the first place a slave to the Red King who ended up in the gladiatorial sphere on Sakaar after he revolted against the ruthless loss leader in some fashion . He became part of Hulk ’s Warbound radical and struggle alongside the Hulk against his dare former leader ’s regime ( and indeed , beyond that ) .
Arch - tocopherol is a skilled pilot and communicating bot who could end up being the tonality to the Hulk refund to Earth . He would supply further variation and diversity to the gladiator roll on Sakaar inThor : Ragnarok , as he would in all probability be the only robotic character present amongst the gladiators . Most importantly , if the Warbound are going to be a matter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , it would be a travesty to have them without Arch - vitamin E alongst their ranks .
9. Elloe Kaifi
We ’ve already note Ronan Kaifi in this clause ( he was Lavin Skee ’s overlord ) , so now it ’s meter to get to fuck his daughter a little better . Ello Kaifi was send to the gladiatorial arena along with Skee ( who serve as her bodyguard ) when her father mouth out against the Red King ’s regime . Although she was initially a very weak belligerent , Skee trained her when he eff she was move to be force to contend in the arena , and she became far more adept in battle as a outcome .
She ended up combat alongside the Hulk as part of his Warbound chemical group and was one of the more dedicated extremity when it come to convey the Red King down . She went on to fight with the aforementioned Miek in the arena before the Green Goliath put a plosive speech sound to all that . It would be awing to see her character develop from a timid young girl to a badass warrior inThor : Ragnarok , should she end up being included in the movie .
8. Hiroim
Hiroim was originally a shadow priest on Sakaar who was dedicated to the story of the Sakaarson , the being who would unite the people of Sakaar by bringing down its malevolent predominate emperor ( the chosen one would turn out to be the Hulk himself , of path ) . Hiroim was expelled from his order for defy to dream that he could really be the Sakaarson . He ended up being hale to suit up in the gladiatorial arena , where he terminate up fighting alongside the Hulk as part of his Warbound radical .
After the grouping brought the empire down , Hiroim accepted that Hulk was the Sakaarson , and seeing that little subplot unfold inThor : Ragnarokwould be pretty cool . When his fellow shadow non-Christian priest all perished , he take in all of their world power , making him a worthful asset to Hulk in theWorld War Hulkstoryline — which , again , we ’d all perfectly love to see in the future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe .
7. Korg
The final character from the Warbound that we ’re include here is the Kronan , stone - like warrior known as Korg ( we ’re not including the No - Name Brood , as the movie rights to her species are owned by Fox ) . You may currently be holler at your data processor monitor / cellphone that Korg has already been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — in 2013’sThor : The Dark World , when Thor used Mjolnir to smash up a Kronan warrior to rubble — but it was n’t him !
Everyone just seemed to … assume it was him , and he subsequently appeared on MCU wikis as an live ( albeit deceased ) persona in the enfranchisement . But the rock warrior was never named and , frankly , it could have been any Kronan warrior . feign that the Kronan character inThor : The Dark Worldwas Korg is like assuming any blonde , disconsolate - eyed human lineament is Captain America , which is just silly . If the Warbound are exit to be a affair in the MCU , Korg is all-important , and it ’d be fun to see the Hulk fighting alongside such a coolheaded looking character in the gladiatorial arena regardless . It could be the closest we ’ll ever get to find out the Green Goliath oppose alongside The affair . all-fired you , movie rights !
