It only fitting that the first teaser for Thor: Ragnarok would feature “The Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin, a band famously obsessed with Norse mythology. The third Thor solo film will be helmed by Hunt for the Wilderpeople director Taika Waititi, and looks to be one of the craziest installments ever in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s not an overstatement to say that this trailer looks the greatest cover for a ’70s prog rock band that was never made.
In this chapter, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the God of Thunder, must battle the all-powerful Hela (Cate Blanchett), who has all but laid waste to his home of Asgard. On his journey, Thor encounters Valkerie (Tessa Thompson) and the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) and they make Thor battle for their own entertainment. Who could they have Thor battle, you might ask. None other than the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) in what is bringing so many fanboy dreams to life by adapting parts of Planet Hulk to the big screen.
We’re always looking forward to the latest Marvel entry here at FanboyNation, but this trailer combined with the fact that it’s directed by the great Taika Waititi has us all a bit too excited for Thor: Ragnarok to blast into the theaters on November 3rd, 2017.
The official synopsis for Thor: Ragnarok:
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 gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk! “Thor: Ragnarok” thunders into U.S. theaters on November 3, 2017.
