Thor: Ragnarok Director Won’t Do Star Wars

Thor: Ragnarok Director Won’t Do Star Wars

, , , 0

The next Marvel movie is less than two weeks away, and it is Thor: Ragnarok. The “cosmic buddy trip” is already getting a ton of positive reviews, and will no doubt be a big hit for Marvel and it’s cinematic universe. But arguably just as important is the fact that it’ll be a big thing for director Taika Waititi, who has also been getting a lot of praise. With his success comes many questions of what’s next. For fans, they think his style would be perfect for a Star Wars film. With the departure of Colin Trevorrow, and the potential for a main film or an anthology film to helm, you’d think it’d be a no-brainer. But to Waititi…not so much. For he told the New York Times: Through its narrow canon, the tone of Star Wars has always been determinedly self-serious, whereas the Marvel movies, like the decades of comics they sprang from, veer wildly from high drama to low comedy. And improvisation has been a tool in every Marvel movie since

Jeff Goldblum Was Almost In A Different Marvel Film

Since the very beginning, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been casting A-list stars from all over the spectrum. From Jeff Bridges to Robert Redford to the upcoming Michelle Pfeiffer, they have had some amazing actors and actresses plays some interesting roles. And with the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, that will continue with the arrival of Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster. But, it may surprise you to know that Jeff Goldblum was almost cast in a much smaller role…in Captain America: The First Avenger. This comes from Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, who noted that thankfully, lack of interest in a smaller role really worked out for them. For he told Uproxx: “And we had come close. I mean, I’ll tell you, I think we spoke to him or offered him a role in Captain America: The First Avenger. I think the role of the senator that was part of that USO tour in the first Captain America film. And he either wasn’t available or wasn’t interested or whatever. And thank goodness,

We are only a few weeks away from the arrival of Thor: Ragnarok, the third installment of the Thor franchise and the last MCU movie of the year, and the last before Avengers: Infinity War. This movie is notable for many reasons. First, it’ll feature many big changes for the character of Thor. Second, it’s the first major role for Hulk since his solo movie (and the first for Mark Ruffalo who was only a certain piece in the Avengers films). Finally, it features the first female MCU villain in Hela. And in a new featurette, we get to see Cate Blanchett and others talk about Hela and she fits into the plot of Thor: Ragnarok. We get to see that she’s a being that just wants to be accepted and be home, and that was take from her, and so she wants revenge on Asgard. We also get to see some very interesting scenes not viewed before, including what appears to be the final battle between Hela and Thor

Famous Thor Ragnarok Line Was Thought Of By Fan

Famous Thor Ragnarok Line Was Thought Of By Fan

So when the first trailer for Thor Ragnarok came out, it was clear that the style of the movie was going to be much different than the original and its sequel The Dark World. Thor was going to be teaming up with Hulk, Asgard had fallen, Mjolnir was destroyed, and much more. But at the end of the trailer, a now iconic line was spoken. When Thor sees Hulk in the gladiator pit of Sakaar, he cries out, “YES!!! We know each other! He’s a friend from work!” Now, on the surface, this may seem like classic Marvel humor. But in fact, that’s not the case. As Chris Hemsworth reveals, it was a fan that thought of that line. “We had a young kid, a Make-A-Wish kid on set that day,” Hemsworth told Entertainment Weekly. “In between the takes, I was talking with him, kind of going back and forth, and he goes, ‘You know, you should say, “He’s a friend from work!”‘ So that young man came up with it.”

Despite it being the third film in the series, Thor: Rangarok is still adding key characters from the Thor mythology. In this film, we’re getting the villainess Hela, the warrior Valkyrie, and Thor’s ally/enemy in Skurge The Executioner. Who in this film will be played by Karl Urban. In the comics, Skurge was a loyal Asgardian who fell under the sway of The Enchantress, another Thor villain. And he serves her out of love despite everything she does. As we saw in the latest Thor trailer, Skurge also takes the side of an evil woman, in this case Hela. But why? IGN talked with Karl Urban and he revealed what caused the betrayal: “When we find Skurge, he’s operating the Bifrost because Heimdall is missing in action, and then pretty soon after that Hela shows up,” Urban told IGN. “Skurge sees the writing on the wall and has to make a decision whether to die or join her, so his instincts of self-preservation take over.” What’s interesting here though is that Urban

One of the phrases that has been said for the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that “it’s all connected.” Meaning, that even if you don’t realize it, everything single movie in the universe ties to the other, and as such, as a deep impact on the others. For Thor: Ragnarok, the film is going to have a big impact on Thor in numerous ways. One of which is his placement in Infinity War. For in footage shown at San Diego Comic Con, he’s shown literally crashing into the Guardians of the Galaxy ship. So, how does that happen? Chris Hemsworth himself talked to IGN and said: “I think you’ll have to watch our film first to understand what Avengers is about,” he teased. Hemsworth was also quick to note how exciting it was to read the script of Infinity War and see what was unfolding. “We read the script for the first time and I think all of us had the same sort of excitement about who we’re going to meet,

At last nights Marvel Studios panel, a new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok was revealed. In it, we got more action, looks at Hulk, Loki, Hela, and more. But, at the end was a tease of major Thor villain Surtur about to fight the Hulk. What’s interesting about this is that at the panel, they revealed that legendary voice actor Clancy Brown would do the voice of Surtur. Brown has been a part of both DC’s and Marvel’s animation universe. He’s been the voice of Lex Luthor, Red Hulk, and many more, as well as being in numerous live-action shows and films as well. What’s also interesting is that the motion capture for Surtur is being done by the director of the film, Taika Waititi: “I did a little of the mo-cap stuff for Surtur, body wise, but then we have Clancy Brown doing the voice of Surtur.” Thor: Ragnarok arrives November 3rd.

At the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic Con, a brand new trailer for Thor Ragnarok was shown. This trailer was much more story based, as it showed Thor, Valkyrie, Hulk (and Bruce Banner) and even Loki teaming up to take down Hela and other forces. There’s a lot of things to note here, the classic look of Hela finally got a full viewing, Skurge is on her side, Hulk can talk, and it appears as though Surter from Norse mythology is also going to join the party. Oh, and we also get to see just how connected to his element the God Of Thunder is. Thor Ragnarok releases on November 3rd.

We may be over halfway through the year, but there’s still some great comic book movies coming out. The first being Thor: Ragnarok, which will see the God of Thunder against his most powerful foe yet, the dark queen known as Hela. And there is art all over San Diego Comic Con showing off the third film in the series. One was taken and posted on Twitter, showing off Loki and Thor as they square off against Hela. What’s interesting here though is that this is Thor in his “classic” look, not the short hair and swords look we’re going to get when he visits Sakaar. Also though, this shows Thor and Loki looking on at Hela’s rise to power, could this mean that Thor finds out about Loki before Hela arrives? We’ll find out when Thor: Ragnarok releases on November 3rd.

The New Thor: Ragnarok Trailer Is Nuts

The New Thor: Ragnarok Trailer Is Nuts

Picture how you’ve always dreamed a movie about a war between gods could be. Was it anything like the first two Thor films (or heaven forbid, “Gods of Egypt”)? Most likely not. For all their CGI trickery, Hollywood just can’t seem to get a high fantasy super battle right at all. Until possibly today — the big trailer for Thor: Ragnarok has been released, and boy is it great. Without using too many spoilers, let me just put it this way: one of the villains is powerful enough to make Thor’s hammer EXPLODE by just touching it. And that’s just for starters! Whereas Asgard came off as stiff and boringly orderly in the first two films, in this movie it’s almost like a world depicted on one of those great old record covers. Marvel Studios is so aware of this that they scored the trailer to Led Zeppelin and made the logo look like the airbrushed chrome letters off a 70’s rock album. Good for them! If there had to

Will Hulk Talk In Thor: Ragnarok?

Will Hulk Talk In Thor: Ragnarok?

The Hulk is one of two things, one, an incredibly powerful being in the Marvel Universe, and two, not a talk. Not most times. There have been certain versions of the Hulk transformation that have been quite verbal though, to the point where it was actually Bruce Banner talking through the Hulk’s body. With Hulk scheduled to appear next in Thor: Ragnarok, many are wondering if the not so jolly green giant will talk in the film. Director Taika Waititi talked with Hitflix about the idea: “It’s interesting, because at the moment, there’s a big conversation that’s happening about how far to push that. Whether or not The Hulk should be [verbal/conscious]”, said Waititi. It seems, however, that the creative team behind the film like the idea that Hulk is more of a developed character this time around. I think a lot of those conversations have more to do with what’s going to come up in future movies,” Waititi said. “So I think a lot of those decisions are larger

Female Thor’s Secret Identity Revealed!

Marvel has been making numerous headlines in their comics line recently. Sam Wilson took on the role of Captain America. Iron Man took a turn for the worse and became evil. However, the biggest change was Thor becoming unworthy of being able to wield the mighty Mjolnir. The twist continued when it was revealed that a female Thor would soon rise, one that fans would not know the identity of right off the bat. The mystery of who this female Thor was drove fans into mass speculation. Was it someone we knew? Was it someone new? Who knew? One man knew. Jason Aaron, the writer of Thor, happily revealed (via the New York Times) (after a leak) that the new Thor was long-time character Jane Foster. “Jane Foster has been part of the Thor comics and the Thor mythology from almost the very beginning,” writer Jason Aaron told Arts Beat. “The very act of picking up this hammer, of becoming Thor, is killing her. Where we go from here is the real
