There ’s no inquiry thatThor : Ragnarokwill find the wrath of Hela , but fans may need to prepare themselves for the destruction of one of Thor ’s closest friend . At least , that ’s what the film ’s merchandising seems to intemperately suggest so far . Even without specifics , it ’s already clear that Cate Blanchett’sHela will be one of Marvel ’s good villains , emerging in the backwash of the priorThormovie to take her retaliation . While that may meanthe last appearing of Thor ’s forefather , Odin , it is n’t looking good for the other Asgardians fearless enough to stand against her mission of murder and world - ending demolition . Specifically , one of the famed ' Warriors Three ' that fought at Thor ’s side in his old two moving-picture show .
When the trailers forThor : Ragnarokfirst revealed Hela ’s return to Asgard , the hundreds of soldiers lay out against her , and the gymnastic way in which she seemed to dispatch them with easiness , we notice a distressful contingent . With the producer promising thatThorfans would hear the fate of the warrior Three , if not see it for themselves , we held out hope that the number tolerate up to Hela was n’t who we venerate . But now that persona have shed new light on the Hela / Asgard standoff , it seems guaranteed .
Things are about to get very bad for Hogun - and perhaps his compatriots not shortly after .
Things Don’t Look Good For Hogun
As devotee can see for themselves , our fear that the sole Asgardians warrior resist apart from the rest when Hela make her ( make bold ) entering to Asgard has been confirmed . The costume worn by Hogun ( Tadanobu Asano ) is an obvious match , despite the fact that fans have n’t really get to see it much . Hogun played an equal use to the other three penis of ' Lady Sif and the Warriors Three ' in the firstThor , butThe Dark Worldsidelined him in the opening scenes , leave behind him with his own people on Vanaheim . It would seem that inRagnarok , Hogun has once again shoot up residence in Asgard … and is every bit as altruistic and epic as we remember .
The bad news , quite evidently , is that the other shots of what appear to be this chronological sequence ( and the ensuing battle ) do n’t show too much resistor to Hela once she leaps into the engagement . Donning her full headdress and leap overhead as she tumbles , toss off Asgardian soldiers depart and veracious , it seems only a matter of time until the fighting is end . From the aspect of this crack , Hogun may actually be the first person to judge their luck against the come back ' Goddess of Death . ' He ’s a skilled fighter , but if the trouncing continues , then he ca n’t execute all that well .
There ’s still a chance we ’re overlook one essential item , and Hogun do to break loose danger ( while somehow leaving the quietus of Asgard ’s forces to be killed and turned to Hela ’s side ) . But if it go the way it seems doomed to go , it may put a life-threatening precedent for the residual of Thor ’s friends inRagnarok .
What Does It Mean For Sif, Volstagg & Fandral?
Technically , Hogun would n’t ask a specific reason to be on Asgard - and if he was present , it would only make sense to position himself on the front channel of a menace . That being tell , what we ’ve deduced from the moving-picture show ’s account may offer a practical reason for this Warrior ’s presence . take the variation of Hela that jump joyfully into combat in this same Asgardian courtyard is the one with powers restored , having potentially kill Odin on Earth to get them , Thor and Loki are out of play . Loki ’s whereabouts are unknown once he ’s station spinning into space ( until he surfaces on Sakaar ) , andThor winds up on the prizefighter planetnot long after he and his blood brother seem to have their first run - in with Hela . So with Asgard unprotected , ruled by an empty throne , with neither inheritor present to hold it … one of Thor ’s closest friends steps up .
We truly hate to think that Hogun would be kill before his character can truly be uprise in a significant way , but his final fit could be the most memorable yet . Not only for the circumstances of his potential death , but the impact it will have on the consultation ’s faith in the heroes ' natural selection . Specifically , Lady Sif , Volstagg , and Fandral . If they ’re not present to stand up beside Hogun , then where are they ? Are they on delegation of their own away from home , or are they fulfilling kingly surveillance and defense , as well , merely off camera ?
And most concerning : if Hogun is given a poor boy ’s decease while Thor is trying to fight his way of life home and stop Ragnarok … will the same be coming to the rest of his close allies ? Not a glimpse has been offered of any of them in marketing , and no news may be dear tidings . Yet Lady Sif and the warrior Three are something of a package deal . So have ’s hope , for everyone but Hogun ’s sake , they decide to spend some time apart .
finger crossed , Thorfans .
