3. The End Of Thor?
If you’re up to date with Norse mythology or even just the Thor comic books, you’ll appreciate the importance of Ragnarok. This apocalyptic event marks the end of the Universe, and the death of Asgard. The God of Thunder was put on the shelf for a number of years at Marvel as a result of this event, returning without the Shakespearean “Thou Art…” talk and with a new look. This movie could just pit Thor against a universe threatening foe, or it could mark the end of Chris Hemsworth’s tenure as the superhero, leaving the door open for a new actor to take over when Thor returns perhaps in Phase 4 or beyond.
