Thor Ragnarok TV Spot Reveals The Return Of [SPOILER]

Thor: Ragnarok

Thor : Ragnarokis just a calendar week and a half off from making its theatrical debut , and its latest TV spot has revealed the very first footage of the titular hero ’s father , Odin the All - Father . ( Anthony Hopkins was long ago confirm to be make his third MCU appearance in the film , but some fans may not be cognisant that he ’ll be returning , hence the " [ SPOILER ] " in the title ) . Thor ’s dad has n’t only been MIA in the drone thus far , but in the MCU itself . At the end of 2013’sThor : The Dark World , it was unwrap that Loki had disguised himself as his adoptive male parent and ask his place on the toilet of Asgard . That plot thread was then left dangling for a few long time , then sort of sorta picked up in themid - credits scene forDoctor Strange , but it seem that things will ultimately be clear up onceRagnarokhits dramatics .

So where has Odin been all this time ? As this late TV slur and the set photo below seem to corroborate , it count like Odin ’s been living the unproblematic aliveness of a drifter over on Midguard , aka Earth . Ragnarokwill seeThor and Loki travel to New York togetherin search of their forefather , likely in the hopes that he ’ll be able to bring a hand taking down the goddess of destruction herself , Hela . We ’re not so sure how helpful their dear old dad will be inRagnarok , though it appears he ’ll be around to lend some sage advice , at least .

In the television receiver spot , we see Odin walk away from a get the better of look Thor in an open subject field , likely thesame open field in which Hela previously destroyed Mjolnir . " Asgard is not a shoes , " enjoin the rightful king of Asgard , to which the trailer frames Thor ’s reaction as , " it ’s a people . " Odin then promote his intended successor to " go see who needs your help . " This new panorama will take place well after the scag god ’s beloved power hammer lead boom , however , as Thor look to be skylark the coiffure and armour he ’ll be forced to adopt while fighting on Sakaar . It sound like Odin ’s serving as his Word ’s motivator here – a Force ghost Obi - Wan sort of role . But we ca n’t aid but enquire why he is n’t jumping to defend his kingdom from Hela . And why does the drone trouble to shroud Odin at all here , only read him as he turns his back ?

This is pure speculation on our part , but it may be flat relate toour theory that Odin wasthe steward of the final Infinity Stone . Now that it ’s been get hold of from him ( by Hela ) , he ’s naughtily wounded and powerless to aid his son in the fight to save Asgard from Ragnarok . But again , that ’s pure speculation on our part . Be sure to read through the full theory for more .
