The next film instalment   in   the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Doctor Strange , is now just around the street corner .   Stephen Strange ’s introduction in the MCU is generating considerable buzz , and fans are already looking ahead tohis future as an Avenger-   as well as what may be in depot for theSorcerer Supreme ’s continuation . WithDoctor Strangemarking the MCU ’s net film of 2016 , all eye will shortly be looking to next year ’s batch of Marvel celluloid . And for the first sentence , in 2017 , Marvel will be releasing three MCU film in a calendar year . Those films areGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2,Spider - Man : Homecoming , andThor : Ragnarok .

All three of the MCU ’s 2017 films are highly anticipated . Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 ( which latterly shed itsteaser trailer )   piece up with the ragtag group of criminals - turn heroes , who gross an outstanding $ 773 million worldwide ( more than any MCU cinema not featuring Tony Stark ’s Iron Man ) . Of naturally , Spider - Man : Homecomingwill give us Tom Holland ’s first solo field day as the webslinger and will also feature Robert Downey Jr. ’s Stark . And while theThorfilms have traditionally been the weakest jaunt in the MCU , hopes are pretty high-pitched for the Asgardian ’s third solo outing . Not only will the God of Thunder and Loki be back , but they will be joined by Mark Ruffalo ’s Hulk .

motion   is , when will we see some properThor : Ragnarokfootage ? We might not have to wait much longer . Ragnarok ’s director , Taiki Waititi , announce on Twitter ( h / tCBR ) that he only has two more days of shoot with leads , Chris Hemsworth ( who plays Thor ) and Tom Hiddleston ( Loki ) . This of course means that Waititi can soon start run on post - production , perhaps inching us closer to some sort of teaser footage .

Fans are certainly hoping that Thor ’s third solo outing will be his grandest yet , and bring up his base alone films to the same standard as those featuring Captain America , Iron Man , and the Guardians of the Galaxy . And the ingredient are all there . Adding Hulk into the commixture , and in outer space , is unimpeachably exciting , specially pass on the similarities to a possiblePlanet Hulk - like tale . Further , the addition toThor : Ragnarok ’s cast are all very impregnable , perhaps setting up a more character - driven story than we have seen in past film .

Details onThor : Ragnarok ’s plot remain sparse , but we do know that Thor , Loki , and Hulk will be join in the flick by The Grandmaster   ( Jeff Goldblum ) , Hela ( Cate Blanchett ) , Skurge ( recreate by Kal Urban ) and Valkyrie ( Tessa Thompson ) . Anthony Hopkins and Idris Elba will be returning as Odin and Heimdell , respectively . However , as was teased at the end ofThor : The Dark Worldand since then inRagnarokset photos , we may find Odin in a very different position than we are accustom .

Thor : Ragnarokwill be the MCU ’s last   moving picture of 2017 , and also score the second to last motion picture beforeAvengers : eternity War(Black Pantherwill be loose in - between ) . Given Thor ’s   role in questioning the emergence of the Infinity Stones inAge of Ultron , it will be intriguing to see what bridges are built to the Avengers ' third , and largest , team - up .
