Thor: Ragnarok
 

Thought I'd start a thread for this now that they've got a director and now that the trades are confirming Hulk will be a part of the movie.

JoBlo's original report on Hulk being included makes it sound like we'll be getting some variation of Planet Hulk in this.

While seeing Hulk is great, I just want the Enchantress and Executioner to finally appear in the MCU. Always did love those two.

Counting how many Marvel movies come out in a year do we really need a separate therad for all of them? I would think a general MCU thread would work with the exception for bigger movies or a big announcement.

This.

I dunno, Hulk doesn't really seem like he belongs in a Thor movie. This goes two ways for me:

#1 I haven't liked either previous Thor movie very much (they're the only MCU movies NOT on my home shelf) because none of them have felt very gritty grounded Viking warrior Asgard mythological questy. Basically, I want a rolicking warrior Viking-god fantasy tale. But with Eric Selvig running around nekkid, Natalie Portman muttering about "sea bass", and The Warriors Three being nothing more than background character clutter... I don't see this as an indication that things will change for Thor 3.

#2 On the other hand, tying in a major character that I DO like (Hulk) makes it much more likely that I'll want to see it. So far, the only main Thor characters I like are Darcy (yeah, I said it) and Loki. Odin's a well done character, but he's a d!ck. And Thor... he's never convinced me as an interesting character. I know, I know... no one else agrees, but y'all don't have to agree.

I have enjoyed the last two Thor movies but I think adding Hulk would be a little too much.

It'll be interesting to see how the Hulk fits in, since it doesn't really feel like he belongs in a Thor movie.

Looks like the script is getting a rewrite

At the moment, I have very little faith that Thor 3 will be much of an improvement of its weak predecessors... :tconfuse:

Looks like Cate Blanchett is joining the cast. Hela, maybe? I'm amazed at the quality of actors Marvel has been getting for their movies.

Enchantress, I hope.

Thor/Lord of the Rings crossover confirmed!!!

BRING ON GALADRIEL!

I hope she's Enchantress as well.

She's not good looking enough, and too old looking, to be the Enchantress.

This is what she needs to look like, I don't see her pulling it off:

:roll: No one about your personal fantasies. Don't you have turtle nostrils to whine about?

It is true though. The Enchantress is supposed to be a blonde bombshell who seduces Thor with her charms in both the comics and the cartoons. Look at the way comic artists always draw her with her boobs popping out of her top, even Avengers: EMH got away with cleavage for a cartoon.

They should have cast a young girl in their early to mid 20's.

Why, so that you can annoy us be constantly telling us about how hot she is? :roll:

True, but Marvel plays it pretty safe. I think the most cleavage you're ever going to get in an MCU movie is Black Widow.

You'd be surprised with some of the cartoons got away with:

http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20120125233630

Yeah well NEWSFLASH Cubed, this isn't a cartoon.

And if they cast her as Enchantress, there's literally noting you can do than just suck it up and deal with it.

Cate Blanchett is a super talented actor who would make that role something far more interesting and memorable than most others could. And Cubey is complaining about not getting enough cleavage.

Business as usual, then? :lol:

Why isn't anyone talking about Taika Waititi directing Thor 3!!!! :o

Now I suddenly have enormous hopes for it being the next surprise hit after GOTG.

So Natalie Portman has been kicked to the curb. They shouldn't have cast her in the first place.

I really liked Natalie Portman's character, I think this Thor is going to be a train wreck. This new actress does nothing for me and even worse, never heard of her.

MCU Jane Foster sucks butt.

Thank God. GET RID of Natalie Portman.

Gah. I'll miss Darcy, though.

I'll miss them tittayz.

Nothing wrong with her cleavage. I loved her humor, too. "Gimme your shoe." She and Loki are the only characters I enjoy in a Thor movie.

Yeeeeaaah boy.

Nothing new there.

Her character was the one who liked Thor,right? If so...I personally found her annoying. No idea why, either. I liked the other characters around her, though...and personally, I favor Loki's character, so if he's there, I'm getting a movie ticket. lol Oh well. Still looking forward to the third installment regardless...even if I don't know the director and stuff.

I'm a Natalie Portman fan since "Léon: The Professional"... I was 14 I saw the film and fell immediately in love with her, so I gonna miss her... :tlove:

For those of you who didn't like Natelie Portman's Jane Foster, why is this? And no, being an astrophysicist as opposed to a scientist does not count.

I had no problem with Jane Foster in the movies, I guess some just don't like the portrayal of the character, in the current comments, Jane Foster became the new Thor.

Because #1, Natalie Portman is a liar who takes all the credit from people who deserve it (e.g. her stunt double doing all the ballet in Black Swan)

#2, Jane Foster in the MCU is a vapid boring character who is one-dimensional in the first movie, and a MacGuffin Plot Device who likes sea bass in the second movie who just HAPPENS to stumble across the Aether.

Are there any rumors of plans for more stand alone Thor films after all of this (post Infinity War)?

Is Portman's character getting recasted? I find it annoying when movies spend so much time of the film dealing with love interests only to drop them when things go bad like they do here, Batman Returns/TDKR etc. Either to do it right or ignore it, did every MCU superhero really need a love interest? They should've planned ahead. At this point I'd prefer if they recasted, its better than ignoring like it ever happened.

Maybe an Ultron drone fragged her.

Or maybe she tried to get into that magic hot tub with Thor but it fried her.

I'm not well versed in Thor comics, but in EMH Thor falls in love with her because he is amazed how courageous she is despite being a powerless mortal (she's an EMT and risks her life to help the wounded.

In the movie, the romance is totally forced. Their infatuation is based on nothing, except physical attraction. I think it was smart to do the whole astrophysicist thing, and I'm glad they didn't make the whole movie about their relationship, but still... she's pretty pointless.

Anyways, this new character being a love interest is a rumor at this point. Thor should end up with Sif.

None at present. As of right now the only post-A3 sequels I'd put money on are Spidey, Guardians and Black Panther.
