In Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok – the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization – at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Incredible Hulk!
Thor: Ragnarok will feature the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder himself, with Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Sir Anthony Hopkins again portraying Odin. The film also stars Cate Blanchett as the death-obsessed Hela, Tessa Thompson as hero Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as the eccentric Grandmaster and Karl Urban as Skurge. Also among the cast is Sam Neill, reuniting with Taika Waititi, who directed him in his previous film Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and his Jurassic Park co-star Jeff Goldblum. Finally, as teased at the end of his solo film, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange will team with the God of Thunder to deal with Loki.
Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee. The screenplay hails from Stephany Folsom, Craig Kyle, Eric Pearson and Christopher Yost.
Thor: Ragnarok will smash its way into theaters on November 3, 2017.
Loki’s back! 😀

And apparently on the side of the angels….it’ll be interesting to see if they keep to Norse mythology because in that, Hela is Loki’s mother (don’t try to picture the logistics of how that worked).

I’m glad they went with this haircut on Thor. Removes a huge vestige of ridiculousness. How much do you want to bet that one of the major original characters dies in Infinity War? My money is on Thor or Hulk. I know RDJ is making overtures about departing, but there hasn’t been a solo IM movie for a while, and maybe there’s still untapped potential in Stark. Black Widow hasn’t even had a solo film, and no way they kill the one woman. Cap’s story is not all wrapped up, and it won’t be by the time IW comes, so he’s not biting the big one. Gotta be Thor, who’s completed a trilogy and has had a good run, or Hulk, who will never have a good run due to legal problems, so who needs him?

Cap WILL die in Infinity War. Chris Evans pretty much all but said it since he extended his contract to appear in them but he said he’s done and RDJ is done after IW. I don’t think they’ll kill RDJ because I think they’re hoping to entice him back in a Nick Fury capacity, but I think Jeremy Renner is a goner, The Vision has an Infinity Stone powering his life and its in his head so….yeah his chances don’t look good, Possibly Gamora because Zoe Saldana has to disappear into 4 Avatar sequels, Hulk maybe, but I don’t think Thor. I think Thor and Black Widow are actually the safest Avengers. Either Falcon or WS, probably Falcon will pick up the shield and get promoted to Cap, but Steve Rogers is 100% absolutely dying in these movies.

I did not know it was so certain about Cap. Damn. RDJ in no universe is sticking around. They are dreaming. Vision will not die, because everyone is expecting it too much. Call me a genius if I am right, but they are going to find a way. If Cap is dying for certain, it will be him and Haewkeye. Otherwise, too much of a bloodbath and the deaths lose impact. There are other ways to move on from the characters than killing them all.
