The New Thor Ragnarok IMAX Poster Confirms Fan Theory
Thor Ragnarok is the upcoming Marvel movie which is the third installment of the Thor franchise. It is inspired by Jack Kirby’s Ragnarok comic wherein Asgard is burned to the ground and rebuilt from the ashes. The mighty Thor will confront an empowered Loki who has gained absolute control of Asgard while he was busy fighting Ultron and powerful forces of Hela who command legions of the dead. He must defeat them to pave the way for the rebirth of Asgardian society. One Marvel fan aptly described the movie as “The way Winter Soldier was for Captain America, Ragnarok is for Thor.”
The main cast includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor, God of Thunder), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Hopkins (Odin) and Idris Elba (Heimdall) who are set to reprise their roles. The ensemble cast includes big names such as two-time Oscar award winner Cate Blanchett (Queen Elizabeth, Blue Jasmine, Carol etc) as the powerful new villain Hela (leader of Doomeo i.e Asgardian Hell); Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park) as the eccentric grandmaster who is an elder of the universe, he is sometimes called as “Inter-galactic Cosmic Pleasure-seeker”, he possessed the mind-gem until Thanos took it away from him; Tessa Thomson (Creed, Selma) as the classic hero Valkyrie who may play Thor’s love interest; Karl Urban (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Star Trek trilogy) as Skurge who is a powerful warrior and Mark Ruffalo (Avengers, Foxcatcher, Spotlight) as Bruce Banner/ Hulk.
The new IMAX poster has the same color palate as previous posters featuring major characters of the movie including gladiator Hulk. The God of Thunder is standing front and center with his evil brother Loki and Asgardian warrior Valkyrie. He is wielding two massive swords instead of his trademark, iconic hammer Mjolnir.
In the first official trailer released by Marvel, Cate Blanchett’s character Hela is seen holding Mjolnir. The details of the plot indicate that Thor will part with his hammer before being sent to Planet Sakaar. At first, fans thought that they will learn if Hela is worthy of the realm’s most powerful object or she is just ruler of the afterlife who is unworthy of greatness. But what would really happen is that she will crush this hammer with her bare hands.
Previously, the international poster for Thor Ragnarok showed Hela towering over everyone as if she is this gigantic threat looming over Thor’s head, so much so that he needs a bad-ass team of warriors to take her on. It was a Japanese poster that used bright and dynamic color scheme which is in stark contrast with darker posters for the Marvel movies that we are used to seeing. The fact that mighty Thor needs an assembly of cosmic heroes including Valkyrie, Loki, Hulk etc. to take on Hela shows how powerful she really is.
Marvel Studios are now ramping up its marketing campaign for Thor 3 and released a new TV spot which has mighty Thor putting together a team of Asgardian warriors against Cate Blanchett’s Hela to save the Kingdom of Asgard. This new teaser was uploaded on Youtube by Tales Productions where we see Thor and Bruce Banner interacting, Thor and Valkyrie preparing for war, Jeff Goldblum Grandmaster’s new shots and action scene featuring Hela. A new behind-the-scenes footage came out which sheds light on the character of Hela. Another audio clip came out where Mark Ruffalo is saying “Cate Blanchett’s character is the worst of the worst, totally evil.”
We know that Thor and Gladiator Hulk will battle it out in the arena, they would survive and would go on a “cosmic road-trip”. But their plans to save Asgard from Hela’s forces will take a massive beating and Asgard will be devastated in a huge battle. In comics, once she possessed Twilight sword and threatened to destroy all nine realms. As a result, she was banished by King Odin.
Recently, a picture was released which pointed to the possibility of Dr. Strange showing up in the movie. It was confirmed in the post-credits scene of Doctor Strange that Dr. Strange will help Thor in Ragnarok. It seems Thor will travel to Sanctum Santorum in Greenwich Village, New York to learn more about Infinity stones. It is also possible that he needs to know how to travel through realms something which Dr. Strange has mastered through magic and mystical arts. Further, in the Japanese trailer of Thor Ragnarok, we see Dr. Strange and he is issuing a dire warning to Thor. He said: “Thor, I sense a great change in your future. Destiny has dire plans for you, my friend, to which Thor responds, I have dire plans for destiny.”
The movie will be more action-packed and it will also be the shortest ever Marvel movie. In continuing with the traditions of Thor movies, Kenneth Branagh’s Thor was 114 minutes, Alan Taylor’s Thor: The Dark World was 112 minutes long but Thor Ragnarok will just have 100 minutes run time. Taika Waititi said to Collider:
“The cut right now, I reckon it’s about 100 minutes. It’s not gonna be a very, very long film. I think that stories are better when you leave them wanting more, and this film moves at a clip, it’s got stuff happening all the time. I think people are still gonna feel exhausted by the end; they’ve been on this big journey and stuff, so I don’t think we need the film to be three hours”.
From the look and feel of it, it seems there are all the ingredients present in the movie to become a huge blockbuster. The movie Thor Ragnarok will hit theatres on November 3, 2017.

Thor: Ragnarok Will Finally Reveal The Relationship Status of Thor
The Marvel movies have attempted almost everything from high octane action to sci-fi to fantasy & adventure. But if there is one thing that Marvel has stayed clear of is the serious relationship drama in their movies. Marvel feels that’s not what fans expect from them so they have avoided it this far. But in Thor: Ragnarok, they have to address the relationship status between Thor and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and reveal how they split up and they will exactly do just that.
Thor: Ragnarok is the upcoming Marvel movie which will directly lead into the Avengers Infinity War. It is inspired by Jack Kirby’s Ragnarok comic wherein Asgard is burned to the ground and rebuilt from the ashes. The God of Thunder will confront an empowered Loki who has gained absolute control of Asgard while he was busy fighting Ultron and the evil forces of Hela who command legions of the dead. He must defeat them to pave the way for the rebirth of Asgardian society. One fan aptly described the movie as “The way Winter Soldier was for Captain America, Ragnarok is for Thor.”
The main cast includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor, God of Thunder), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Hopkins (Odin) and Idris Elba (Heimdall) who are set to reprise their roles. The ensemble cast includes big names such as two-time Oscar award winner Cate Blanchett (Queen Elizabeth, Blue Jasmine, Carol etc) as the powerful new villain Hela (leader of Doomeo i.e Asgardian Hell); Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park) as the eccentric grandmaster who is an elder of the universe, he is sometimes called as “Inter-galactic Cosmic Pleasure-seeker”, he possessed the mind-gem until Thanos took it away from him; Tessa Thomson (Creed, Selma) as the classic hero Valkyrie who may play Thor’s love interest; Karl Urban (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Star Trek trilogy) as Skurge who is a powerful warrior and Mark Ruffalo (Avengers, Foxcatcher, Spotlight) as Bruce Banner/ Hulk.
Chris Hemsworth had an interview with Screen Rant where he revealed that he is totally smitten by Tessa Thompson’s character Valkyrie in a very different way as compared to Jane. Here’s what he had to say:
“It’s like Thor’s meeting his hero! And he’s absolutely smitten by her and because of her history, and being a Valkyrie and all of that. But she’s also this beautiful woman so he’s kind of caught on guard. And she can, you know, she could beat the s*** out of him if she wanted. So I think he hasn’t come up against that very often. It certainly wasn’t the case with Jane. There was a whole different affection and love there. So that was another, you know, ‘How can we make that different from the previous one?'”
Natalie Portman has confirmed it that she is done with Thor and Marvel movies and she will not be coming back. Fans thought that maybe Lady Sif will fill the void and become a major love interest of Thor but that didn’t happen. They have now introduced Valkyrie, an Asgardian warrior, which is what the franchise may actually need at this point. How will the story tackle the split up of Jane and Thor? According to Chris Hemsworth, they will have fun with it. He said:
“Umm, no we have this, we have some… some very respectable fun with how that relationship may have come to an end.”

thor vs justice league
From the look and feel of it, it seems there are all the ingredients present in the movie to become a huge blockbuster. It is facing huge competition from DC’s most ambitious project Justice League which will release 2 weeks afterward. But there is no reason to feel concerned as Marvel has loyal audience worldwide. The movie will hit theatres on November 3, 2017
Thor Ragnarok Will Introduce Marvel Comics Most Bad-Ass Team of Warriors
For the past 9 months or so, the box-office collections are a mixed bag at best as there hasn’t been any movie which proved to be a smashing blockbuster. The first Thor movie opened to good box-office numbers, generated some interest in the character but then in 2013 Thor: The Dark World was quite disappointing. Most of the Marvel fans had written off Thor as a weak link of the MCU. But Ragnarok is bent on turning the tide and changing the perception of the fans.
The Marvel Studios has released a new teaser of the movie and it seems that we will see for the first time “The Revengers”, a team put together by Simon Williams after being disillusioned by the Avengers due to their major failings. She felt that Avengers had to be stopped and the new team has to be assembled to do the job.
Wonder Man is one of the top Avengers in the comic book world, but not active currently. At one point, he was disillusioned by the way the Avengers were causing more harm than doing good, pointing towards some problems like the Civil War, the Scarlet Witch’s insanity, Ultron, the Sentry and the Void. After confronting the team again, he decided to form a different team of lesser-known heroes and super villains, The Revengers. The first version of the team was formed to fight A-Next.
Disappointed by the Avengers’ feats, he called upon a former member of Masters of Evil and the Thunderbolts – Atlas, Goliath, Virtue, Captain Ultra, Demolition Man, Anit-Venom and persuaded them to fight gainsays Avengers. Wonder Man planned to target on some of their bases and properties. And the team gets ready to bring the so-called destruction to an end.
With their first plan in motion, Revengers headed towards the Avengers Mansion and also targeted New Avengers. But they didn’t attack it until Danielle Cage, daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones came out it. And that’s when Revengers took no time to attack the mansion. As Avengers arrived the mansion in Quinjet, they are astonished to see their member taken down. As they asset then, they got to know that Atlas is destroying the Avengers Tower. As they reach the site, they find it empty with a minimal damage. Wonder Man’s motive to attack the tower was to call the Avengers for a conference.
As Avengers reach the conference, Wonder Man is seen standing in front of the New York Library where he threatens the Avengers and criticizes them for their operations. At the end, Avengers give them a choice to surrender or fight and that’s when Thor teleports them to a Citi Field, where they take down the Revengers.
Only time will tell as to how Thor: Ragnarok intends to use Revengers but this is very exciting nonetheless that they are going in this direction.

Here’s the official synopsis of the movie:
“Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally, and fellow Avenger. Thor’s quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization”.
The main cast includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor, God of Thunder), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Hopkins (Odin) and Idris Elba (Heimdall) who are set to reprise their roles.
