THOR: RAGNAROK Is Reportedly Marvel's Darkest Story Yet, and More Characters Revealed
Earlier this week we learned that Bruce Banner/Hulk might appear in Thor: Ragnarok. Now we have some additional information about the tone and another character that might appear in it.
We know Thor: Ragnarok would be a dark film. After all, the comic book story arc features an apocalyptic battle that the Realm of Asgard has experienced over and over and over again. Ragnarok is a cycle of death and rebirth.
The sequel is being written by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle, and according to Birth.Movies.Death., the script is the darkest one yet for Marvel, which apparently is one of the reasons why they brought on Taika Waititi to direct it. The site says that the studio felt he could "bring a touch of lightness" to the film.
The report goes on to confirm that Hulk will be a part of the movie, and that he will have a major role. Apparently, Thor and Hulk will be taking "a cosmic road trip together, Hope and Crosby style." While on their adventure, they'll meet the group called the Valkyries, and that could lead to them coming in contact with the heroine Valkyrie, and her nemesis, The Enchantress! Marvel is reportedly "looking to cast some great women in this movie."
I've been waiting for Enchantress to make her appearance since Thor. It was only a matter of time before that included her, and I hope this news is true because I really want to see her make her debut in the MCU. The more I learn about this movie, the more pumped up I get for it!
Thor: Ragnarok is set to be released on July 28th, 2017.
