Now thatDoctor Strangehas unleashed the power of mysticism on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and the box office for that matter), all eyes are on 2017 and Marvel’s slate of upcoming movies. One of those movies will be the culmination of theThor trilogy,Thor: Ragnarok. We still don’t have a trailer, but there is a pretty cool set video featuring the movie’s main villain Hela that you can check out.
The video was posted to the bigfootkamYouTube Channeland at first, looks a bit underwhelming. The set they were filming on will clearly be heavily reliant on visual effects. But once the action kicks in, the unfinished set doesn’t matter quite as much.Cate Blanchettis playing the villain Hela inThor: Ragnarok, and sadly, she isn’t featured in the video (it is her stunt doubleZoe Bell), but we do get to see what the big baddie will look like in action. As it turns out, she will be very acrobatic.
In the video, we can seeZoe Bell, who some may know for her role inQuentin Tarantino’sDeath Proof, doing some seriously complex flipping and twisting in what we assume will be a verycool looking shotwhen it’s all finished up in the movie. It looks like the kind of thing that is begging for some super slow motion. The video also offers a look at Hela’s costume, mostly by way of a lighting test, but it still gives us a little something we didn’t have previously. It should make fans even more excited to see Oscar winnerCate Blanchettall decked out as Hela when the first trailer forThor: Ragnarokfinally arrives. Since the movie is still about a year away, that may not be for a while, but you never know with Marvel.
We haven’t been given an official synopsis forThor 3as of yet, but we do know a few things about the plot of the movie. For one, it will at least be partially adapting the belovedPlanet Hulkstoryline from the comics, which is something fans have been craving in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for quite some time. We also know that it has been described as a “buddy cop” road movie with Thor and Bruce Banner/The Hulk joining forces to take down the bad guys in the movie. We also know thatBenedict Cumberbatchwill be making an appearance in the movie asDoctor Strangeand that at least part of the movie will be taking place on Earth, or Midgard, as it were. Specifically, in New York City.
Thor 3added a lot ofnew talent, likeCate Blanchett. Other new talent came in the form ofKarl Urban, who is playing the villain Skurge,Jeff Goldblum, who is playing Grandmaster andWhat We Do in the ShadowsdirectorTaika Waititi.
