The marketing forThor: Ragnarokhas officially kicked into high-gear. The third and final movie released of the year from Marvel Studios also looks like it has the potential to be the best, which is a bold statement considering that bothGuardians of the Galaxy Vo. 2andSpider-Man: Homecomingwere released this year as well. Now, a brand new TV spot forThor: Ragnarokhas been released by Marvel that provides us with some awesome new footage, as well as revealing who the strongest member ofThe Avengersis, answering one of Marvel’s biggest questions once and for all.
As we’ve seen in previous trailers and TV spots forThor: Ragnarok, this movie is going to be a whole lot different than anything we’ve seen from the soloThormovies previously. For one, it’s going to be a lot funnier. Case in point, this TV spot sees the God of Thunder trying to access the flight system for a ship by declaring that he’s the strongest Avenger. That doesn’t go so well. However, whenMark Ruffalo’s Bruce Bannergets on board, he’s granted access almost immediately and is greeted as the “strongest Avenger.” As one might imagine, that isn’t great forThor’s ego, but it’s pretty excellent for the viewer. We’ll get to see them hash this out on screen, as the two are going tofight it out Planet Hulk stylein the movie, which has been hyped up immensely.
This is only a TV spot, but they really did manage to pack an awful lot into it. Aside from the great gag, there’s also quite a bit of action and several great new shots. There’s a little bit of Thor throwing down with Cate Blanchett’s Hela, as well as Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk going to blows with that giant wolf from the trailers.Thor: Ragnarokdefinitely looks like it’s going to be a blend of action and humor that we simply haven’t been treated to in theMarvel Cinematic Universethus far.
Up to this point, theThormovies haven’t really been on the same level as many of the other solo movies in the MCU. That may change withThor: Ragnarok. The early buzz on the movie has been absolutely excellent and, even though the full reviews haven’t been released yet, it looks like this is easily going to be the most critically well-received of theThormovies. And as we’ve seen with previous Marvel movies, critical acclaim tends to lead to box office success. It’s early, but it appears that Marvel has yet another hit on their hands.
Director Taika Waititi is known for comedy and this is his first foray into blockbuster filmmaking. It looks like Marvel made the right choice by taking a chance on him forMarvel Phase 3. If we can get nearly two hours of jokes and action this good inThor: Ragnarok, we’re in for a treat.
