For one , we ultimately get to see some of the other Avengers in SPAAAAACE ! Not to mention , watch Thor go up against the Incredible Hulk . Throw in a homeless Odin , a mischievous Loki , the former king of England , and the spokesperson for Apartments.com , and Marvel has got another bonafide stumble in the fashioning with enough heroics to fill up the halls of Valhalla .
Thor : Ragnarokis set to release next Fall on November 3 , 2017 . But because waiting sucks we are compose a preview to fill your Norsian appetite forall thing Mjolnir . We ’re also serve out the essential so you ’re not impart in the night once this world shattering date arrive . WhileCivil Warconcerned itself with superhero political relation , Thor 3will focus on far grander problems , with some major implications for the galactic road ahead . One thing ’s for sure , Chris Hemsworth will at some point take his shirt off .
Here isEverything We get laid So Far About Thor : Ragnarok .
17. Thor 3 is a Reboot of the Franchise
During an interview in Entertainment Weekly ’s first prescribed public rollout for the pic ( which we ’ll touch more on in a moment),Thor : Ragnarokdirector Taika Waititi revealed his plans toradically upend the established orderon Asgard and the tone adjust by former films .
A lot of what we ’re doing with the film is , in a means , kind of dismantling and destroying the old idea and rebuilding it in a new mode that ’s fresh . Everyone ’s stimulate a slightly new take on their characters , so in that way , it feels like [ this is ] the first Thor .
A gentle reboot like this could be incisively what the enfranchisement need . While the series has been relate belike more than any other superhero solo film to Marvel ’s shared cinematic universe , it has not been without its error and as of later has find Thor himself in a bit of a groove , last seen confusedlytaking a bath in a grotto . This problematic electric discharge was getting to be so much of a load it even had star Chris Hemsworth await to part ways . ButRagnarok’srefresh seems to have invigorate the mavin , character reference and franchise setting the stagecoach fora bright Asgardian hereafter .
16. Hulk Is a Gladiator
The last metre we check Hulk he had just ditched Scarlett Johansson to go vanish off in a jet at the end ofAvengers : Age of Ultron . Well , that must have been some journeying , because he ultimately somehow ends up in another solar system where he will be undoubtedly once again besmashing things he should n’t .
While the possibility of our getting a solo Incredible Hulk film anytime shortly seems likea long shot , Thor : Ragnarokwill be the next good thing as the quality is one of its essence components . And we ’re not talking about getting Mark Ruffalo ’s shrimpy Bruce Banner for the bulk of it . Apparently , the character ’s green alter - ego fury monster will share a good chunk of the screen clock time , fists and all . Even cooler , he ’ll bea gladiator coldcock out in armorand wield a ginormous engagement axe . ( But more on that in a moment . ) Overall , some of the MCU ’s most memorable interactions have been between Hulk and Thor , so what ’s not to love abouttheir teaming up(and fighting one another ) in SPAAAACCE !
speak of space , contain outeverything we know so far aboutGuardians Of The Galaxy Vol . 2 , another pic which will , we assume , take place in blank space .
15. Taika Waititi Will Be Directing
Marvel has made a habit lately of handing over the reigns of their box office shatter mega - blockbuster to comparatively isolated , smalltime managing director , such asJon WattswithSpider - Man : HomecomingandRyan CooglerwithBlack Panther . While not quite as untested , Taika Waititi is n’t exactly known as a big - budget director either , if he ’s know at all . To go steady his biggest projects have been directing a lamia mockumentary calledWhat We Do in the Shadows , the television seriesFlight of the Conchords , and this past times year’sHunt for the Wilderpeople , whichhas been toutedas a screaming , touching New Zealand odyssey .
The Thor dealership is notable for being the only solo trilogy in the MCU to have a unlike director for each of its three film . Which makes for a noticeably dissimilar look and style across the add-in . For his part , Waititi be after on make his instalment " one of the most adventuresome and out there " of all the Marvel picture to escort . ConsideringDoctor Strangesaw it ’s title character get trance in a uninterrupted time cringle being murdered by a jumbo talking head from an alternate dimension , that ’s saying a lot . What ’s more Waititi says he ’ll beignoring the other films in the franchisewith his movieinspired by 80 ’s Sci - Fi fancy artand give a sexual conquest composed by one of the guy cable whobrought the worldWhipIt . In the same room James Gunn infused the MCU with a breather of new air withGaurdians of the Galaxy , many are confident Taika Waititi will do the same with his hilarious , touching Asgardian odyssey .
Speaking of which ….
14. Prepare to Laugh
On top of everything else we just mentioned , Taika Waititi plans on bringingan extra dosage of funnytoThor : Ragnarok . Which might come as a stand-in to anyone that felt Thor ’s 2nd cinematic sashay was far too unappeasable and serious . Well aware of this Waititi has say , “ I ’m just going to take the second Thor plastic film and just add up some antic to that . ” Apparently Waititi ’s penchant for dark comedy and oddball zaniness is exactlywhy Marvel engage him .
While Kevin Feige has statedthe MCU will never go completely dark , it has as of late get a muckle grayer . Surely the approaching second installment ofGuardians of the Galaxywill regenerate the billet . But Chris Hemsworth for onewantsThor 3to follow suiteand inject some of thatBaby Groot - sized funinto Asgard . With Waititi behind the camera it looks like the God of Thunder will get his wish . Here ’s hop-skip they somehow find a way to use that hysterical plot from the comicswhen Thor got turned into a frog .
13. Jeff Goldblum Will Play The Grandmaster
The Grandmaster is one of the oldest living beings in Marvel and a fellow member of the Elders of the Universe . We ’ve already met one of the Elders inBenicio Del Toro ’s Collector , and it seems now Jeff Goldblum will be impart a second to the MCU . These immortal being keep their seniority thanks to their respective obsession . In The Collector ’s case this intend amassing universal oddment , while for the Grandmaster it means amusing himselfby run games . The Strategist Supreme delight machinate contest that pit passing powered beingness against one another in high post challenges , often time against their will . Notably , like all the Elders , the character has a chronicle in the comic intimately tied to the Infinity Gems , and even at one time possess the Mind Stone .
Also known as En Dwi Gast , the Grandmaster may have foundthe perfect instrumentalist in Jeff Goldblum . well known for making mathematicians face badass inJurassic Parkand making information processing system scientists look badass inIndependence Day , having Goldblum link up this already star studded cast ( whichincludes his JP grad Sam Neill)is reason to celebrate . This is the cat after all who makes renting a habitation seem cool on those Apartments.com commercials and who once line himself as a “ yogi who wanders the Earth with a diaper . ” Goldblum and his trademark eccentricity havedove head firstinto his latest character , teasing that he ’ll play him as a“hedonist . ”In other words , we can expect wild affair from Grandmaster Goldblum and the game he ’ll be playing with Thor and Co.
12. Odin is Alive and Homeless
WhenThor : The Dark Worldended it was uncover the unceasing beguiler Loki was live and well , and had somehow overtaken the throne of Asgard mask as Odin . What was not clear was what had happened to the existent Allfather . Many worried he had been killed and interview would never have the near fortune of staring at Anthony Hopkins ' noted silver man mullet again . fortunately these concerns were put to rest whensome on - set photossurfaced of Odin animated and well .
plough out he ’s been hang out in New York all along . Because where do you go when your adopted Ubermensch of a Word tries to vote down you ? While we do n’t bang precisely what he ’s doing there or what he ’s up to , his clothes make a strong case for crazy street hobo . In case there was any dubiety , Odin ’s apparent exile to the Big Apple was substantiate inthe mid - credit sequence ofDoctor Strange . Which institute us nicely to our next debut …
11. Doctor Strange is on the Case
In a film satisfy with crazy things , maybethe craziest of allfromDoctor Strangewas when Thor popped up chug some beer at the domicile of the Sorcerer Supreme . During a sit down with the beneficial Doctor we learn Loki has fall on the wizard community ’s radar . After the slicker designate up again in NYC with the God of Thunder , Strange makes it clear he want the pair run from Earth as ready as possible . When Thor informs him they are only there to regain their begetter and will be conk when the deed is done , Doctor Strange promptly settle to aid .
Add inan official sounding announcementand a fewcoy remark from Tom Hiddleston , and we ’re pretty sure all thing point to Doctor Strange being inThor : Ragnarok . Though in what capability and how heavy a part he will play aside from a mystical Sherlockian PI for hire , is anyone ’s guess . Most likely it will be a small one since he ’ll probably only appear for events happening on Earth . Since Marvel Studio headKevin Feige has statedthe Brobdingnagian majority of the film look at place in the macrocosm , we expect to catch only a slide by glance of Stephen Strange . Though at the very least he should be good forproviding the triplet with a quick drive habitation .
10. Cate Blanchett Is Playing Hela
Who will be the enceinte bad inThor : Ragnarok ? That honor exit to Hela , the Norse Goddess of Death , ruler over Hel and Niffleheim and habitual wearer ofgravity defying headgear . In the cartoon strip most of her time is spent trying to flourish her domain by steal the person of other realms . Also , take off the end of the world . As a near immortal with the strength of Thor and magical prowess ofDavid CopperfieldDoctor Strange , the superpower of Hela are feared all across the nine realms . Espeically since she has the power to pour down any Asgardian , human or otherwise with a single touch .
If anyone can help Marvel overcomeit ’s villain problemand convincingly bring to biography the MCU ’s first major villainess , it ’s Cate Blanchett . Seriously , she presently stars in a motion picture in whichshe play 13 different role . We ’d say she ’s got the chop to make a mythologic death goddess compelling . Having unforgettably play the ilk of Queen Elizabeth I and the elfin high priestess Galadriel in theLord of the Rings , this two - clip Oscar victor is correct at home wearing ridiculous outfits and exerting business leader over less being . All the while havinga blast doing it .
9. Dr. McCoy Will Be Skurge
We ’re all conversant with Karl Urban through his spot on portrayal ofa young Dr. Leonard McCoyin the late bout ofStar Trekmovies . Though , as we hear duringhis turning as Judge Dreddin the 2012 film , he also possesses a mean streak and is not above kick can . Which makes his molding as the ruthless , battle ax - wield , Asgardian warrior Skurge awesome news .
Better get it on as The Executioner , Skurge has been one of Thor ’s most dangerous enemies since first appearing back in 1964 . More often then not he ’s subject to doing the pestiferous work of others , like Amora the Enchantress , which at last get him banish from his home populace . In the comics , Skurge finally pay off himself by avail Thor conflict Hela and her armies to free a radical of trapped soul that she was keep captive in Niflheim . The ensuing battle culminate in the an honorable death , which despite his past was enough to pull in Skurge a suitable place in Valhallah . We ’ll just have to wait and see ifUrban ’s versioncan obtain a alike exaltation in the pantheon of the MCU .
8. There’s a New Female Superhero in Town
We ’re not take leave sure what ’s going on with Lady Sif . It ’s been statedshe wo n’t appearin Thor : Ragnarok butJaime Alexander has hintedthere may be more in store for her character than meets the headlines . Though even if Sif is absent there wo n’t be a deficiency of a strong distaff presence on Asgard . go in the MCU ’s newest superhero .
Valkyrie is an Asgardian goddess and one of her mass ’s mighty battler . In the comics she is the loss leader of a group of distaff warriors that transports brave souls who have died in scrap to Valhalla . She has also been a member of both the Defenders and the Avengers . Her real name is Brunnhilde and is loosely based on the eccentric of the same name from Norse mythology , whose tale you might retrieve havingheard inDjango Unchained .
contribute somemuch necessitate diversityto the MCU , Valkyrie will be played byCreed’sTessa Thompson . We ’ve already gottena first lookat Tessa in character and gestate her valiant shield maiden to have a large part in stoping the ending of the existence . Not to mention she might even get the eye of Thor , who in the comics wasan occasional love interest . Especially give Sif ’s strange status and his other leading madam haven taken a misstep on the ole rainbow bridge to obliviousness .
