Before we get started, head over to YouTube.com to watch the trailer that was released yesterday:
Okay, did you watch it? Then let's talk about it for a bit...but first ***SPOILERS!!!***
First, it starts with Thor pulling a fourth wall joke while being chained up and suspended over a volcanic fire. Early guesses are that he's in Muspelheim, one of the Nine Realms of Norse Mythology, which is comparable to what we now know as Hell. Interesting way to start the trailer!
But it didn't stop there...we then got our first look at Hela, and she is definitely a bad-ass! So much show that she destroys Mjolnir...Thor's Hammer! She just catches it in mid-flight and shatters it! She doesn't stop there, though. It looks like she completely wipes out Asgard all by herself. That scene is followed by Thor landing in another world, one that is almost definitely Sakaar, from the "Planet Hulk" comic book storyline. There are a few quick scenes of shots from the film that are used as filler while showing Valkyrie. She takes him to the Grandmaster, fitted in armor, and ends up in a battle arena to face off against...The Hulk! And he looks like an armored monster! At first Thor is happy to see his friend, but then realizes that Hulk isn't too happy to see him!
On top of that we get a few shots of Loki. One where he's walking towards the camera, flanked by some other worldly creatures, another where he's sitting on the opposite side of the couch from the Grandmaster, and one where it looks like Loki and Thor are squaring off against Hela.
This is a completely new type of Thor movie, and one that is sure to make up for the disaster that was Thor: The Dark World. If you actually liked that film, I'm sorry. I thought it was probably the weakest film so far from the MCU. Well, that's just my opinion.
Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters November 3, 2017.
