New Details on THOR: RAGNAROK and How PLANET HULK Elements Factor In
A few weeks ago we got a hefty dose of info on the third solo outing for Thor with Thor: Ragnarok with a number of casting announcements and a few sparse details that tease the story. Now, you’ll recall that JoBlo broke the casting news of Mark Ruffalo back in October of last year, which has obviously been confirmed since then.
The other new additions announced last week are Cate Blanchett as Hela, Karl Urban as Skurge, Jeff Goldblum as The Grandmaster, and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie (and yes, even Jaimie Alexander has assured fans she’ll return as Sif).
JoBlo has now heard new rumors of how the story will play out and just how “Planet Hulk” the film will be. Well, here’s what the site knows: The film will definitely have the Planet Hulk element in it, operating as a kind of mash-up with the Ragnarok story. How Thor ends up on the planet in question is unclear, but he will definitely be involved in some gladiatorial games run by none other than Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster.
In terms of Hulk’s appearance in this portion of the film, he will be rocking the one-shoulder armor as seen in the comics, so expect him to be decked out in the familiar Planet Hulk look.
Expect a major change in the look of the God of Thunder himself for this part of the film as he will be sporting a shaved head (but not completely bald) for at least a portion of the film.
Also, expect a very different look for Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie, who is traditionally a blonde-haired warrior type in the comics. For Ragnarok she’ll be wearing war paint on her face, much like a Native American warrior, which should be an interesting take on this variation of the character.
In terms of story, there’s still much in the air, but the gist of Thor’s mission in the film is that he needs to find the ultimate weapon to stop Ragnarok and reset the universe. What is that weapon and how does he gets set on that path? [Probably an Infinity Stone - DLX]
