Even though Thor: Ragnarok is still a
long way away, the marketing machine is already running on all cylinders, and today
EW unveiled various plot spoilers and a cover image featuring three of the
film's leads.
First things first, the cover
features Thor (Chris Hemsworth), who has a new haircut, Hela (Cate Blanchett) the
Goddess of Death, and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson).
"It was nice not
to have to sit in the makeup chair for that hour each morning. It felt like a
rebirth for me as the actor but also as the character," Hemsworth said of Thor's
new haircut.
As for plot spoilers,
EW reveals that Thor's banishment to the alien planet of Sakaar, where he sees
himself in a gladiatorial match with or against Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, is because
of Hela.
"She’s been locked away
for millennia getting more and more cross, and then, with a mistake, she gets
unleashed and she ain’t getting back in that box," says Blanchett, who
trained with stuntwoman Zoë Bell ("Grindhouse") and learned the
Brazilian martial art capoeira to prepare for the role. "[Sakaar is]
basically where every wormhole across the universe dumps out its trash, so you
get people from all walks of life with all sorts of incredible abilities and
powers," Hemsworth adds. "No one cares what prince or king Thor may
have been in another world. Also, his strength is pretty easily matched with
those he finds himself amongst."
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 (Cate Blanchett). But first he must survive a deadly
gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger –
the Incredible Hulk!
Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok hits
theaters on November 3, and also stars Tom Hiddleston,
Karl Urban, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Goldblum, and Idris Elba.
Kevin Feige is producing with Louis
D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee
serving as executive producers. The story is by Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost
and Stephany Folsom, and the screenplay is by Eric Perason.
