Thor: Ragnarok
Jeff Goldblum is no stranger to blockbuster moving-picture show , having starred in such retiring summer blockbuster asJurassic ParkandIndependence Day . He ’ll be back in intimate territory later this calendar month when he returns to once again fight a sinister foreign menace inIndependence Day : revival , but next year he will be branching out into comic book picture territory when he toy the villain Grandmaster inThor : Ragnarok .
Marvel confirmedGoldblum ’s involvement inThor 3last calendar month , and also the plus ofCarol ’s Cate Blanchett as co - villain Hela , Creed ’s Tessa Thompson as the expansive Valkyrie , andStar Trek Into Darkness ’s Karl Urban as Skurge . But how does Goldblum , who has build his career on playing dulcet - toned protagonists , prepare for his fresh role as a mirthful volume villain ? By doing a little bit of research .
In a late consultation withEmpire(viaCBM ) , Goldblum lecture about his preparation forThor 3and his interactions with the movie ’s film director , Taika Waititi . While the player did not go into the role unprepared , he has also been allowed to add his own idea to the table :
" [ Grandmaster is ] a hedonist , a pleasure - seeker . He ’s an enjoyer of life and tastes and feel . I thought , ‘ I can do that , I ’ll bet ! ’ I ’m bring on my part every solar day . I ’m a sponge , researching . [ Waititi ] is encouraging me to improvise and make it my own , and that ’s what I ’m trying to do . I hope he does n’t throw me out on the first daylight ! "
Waititi come in from a funniness background , having previously directed moving picture such asEagle vs SharkandWhat We Do in The Shadows , and he has said that he intend to bringmore humor toThor 3than was present in its predecessor , Thor : The Dark World . Goldblum definitely has the potential difference to bring some humour to the mix himself , having flexed his comedy chops with late TV appearances on shows such asLast workweek Tonight with John OliverandInside Amy Schumer . He also seems excited to be working with the cast Marvel has put together forThor 3 , and also to drop some time in the Land Down Under :
" Not only Chris Hemsworth , Cate Blanchett , Anthony Hopkins … jeez , that ’s gon na be fun . I ’ve never been to Australia except to do these small packaging things . "
The addition of Goldblum toThor 3is one of the more interesting cast decisions Marvel has made , but it could ante up off for the studio if it helps impart a sense of playfulness to the picture . WithThor 3having been key as a"Thor and Hulk buddy pic"and its director make a solid funniness ground , it could end up being a much quirkier movie than the more key - by - numbersThor 2 . With Marvel ’s rivals over at Warner Bros. taking a lot of flack for the self - seriousness ofBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , no doubt Marvel is eager to avoid making a similar trip-up .
