Thor not getting a movie in Phase Three would have been a huge surprise, but based on the ominous title alone, this could be the last we see of Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder for quite some time.
Set to be released in 2017, we’re obviously still a long way from the movie being released and who knows where Thor will be by the time he’s finished battling Ultron in next year’s Avengers sequel.
Here, we take a look at the ten things you most need to know about Thor: Ragnarok, briefing you on what we actually know about this release and how it may all tie into the comic book of the same name.
10. The Death Of Thor
There’s a very real possibility that Thor: Ragnarok will bring an end to Chris Hemsworth’s tenure as the God of Thunder. Regardless of whether it’s Mjolnir being destroyed or Thor falling at the hands of an enemy, you have to imagine that it signifies the end of something, and we’re willing to bet it’s the life of the titular Asgardian.
As in the comic book event of the same name (which we’ll tell you more about a little later), the movie ending with Thor and the rest of his people being wiped out as in North mythology would mean Marvel could put the character on the shelf for a while to focus on their new franchises, possibly bringing Hemsworth back as a surprise in Avengers: Infinity War to help his old allies take down Thanos.
