Who Should Be The Big Bad In Thor 3?

What about Gorr?

Surtur for primary villain.

Logically this would mean Malekith as secondary villain, but he had his own film.

So, for secondary villains: Enchantress, Executioner, Ulik and/or Absorbing Man (one Midgardian villain wouldn't be too bad considering the fact that Thor now lives on earth).

[ares834]

Surtur of course. He is the ultimate threat of the nine worlds and it would be one climatic movie.

Echantress could work as well.

As for Gorr, the guy hasn't been around long enough to justify him being in a movie IMO. They would be better off going with a classic Thor villain.

I agree with your list of secondary villains, with Amora and Surge being the # draft picks in my opinion. I want to see Ulik as well, but only as someone who fights Thor at the beginning of the film a.k.a "opening battle, same goes for Absorbing Man (as cool as he may be).

Yes, that would work.

I'd say that for such an opening fight the Wrecking Crew would also work... so at the at start of the film, we see Thor on Midgard fighting four super-powered criminals who had found an Asgardian artifact that accidently looks similar to an earthly crowbar and that also accidently dropped through a wormhole during the event of the previous film (= the source of their superpowers). At the beginning of Thor 3, it is Thor's duty to find and regain such lost artifacts. So that could be the MCU's version of the Wrecking Crew (which, of course, Thor would defeat with ease).

Or if the film's script would be in need of a secondary "big beast" apart from Surtur, Fafnir would be nice. The Midgard Serpent, however, would deserve to be the centre of its own movie.

Surtur + Enchantress & The Executioner. Of course with Loki having some kind of role in it all too.

[Ursa]

I just saw the movie.

And the villain on the third movie will be

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Loki again.

So I hope Enchantress could appear and become an ally. It would be awesome.

[BigThor]

I doubt Loki is going to be the main villain of Thor 3, now I'm sure he'll be in.cohorts with the main bad guy though.

[Rincewind]

Given the events in Thor: TDW, the obvious answer is

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Loki, and Thor will probably deal with him once and for all.

With that in mind, there probably would be other antagonists. I would prefer Amora and the Executioner. They would make a good villainous pair and each of them could be a challenge for Thor in a different way (Amora with her spells and scheming, and the Executioner as a physical rival) and I could easily buy them as Loki's aides.

[Closerframe]

As Rincewind stated

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

With Loki now posing as Odin I presume he'll be the main baddie, but will have a little help under his command given that he is now King of Asgard (more villains in the Asgard dungeon, perhaps). I think he'll have the Enchantress as his queen and the Executioner as his bodyguard. Which is when Thor will return to Asgard to see that his friends have been imprisoned.

[Hyde]

I want Surtur but it's probably going to be Loki.

[BobJM]

After seeing TDW, here's what I'd like to see...

Loki is secretly ruling over Asgard as Odin, so he'll have some ultimate agenda of ruling over all the realms.

However, he survived his death in TDW by striking a deal with Hela and now, he owes some debt or has done some wrong that ultimately leads to Ragnarok and Surtur.



As much as I'd like to see Enchantress and Executioner, I really want to see Surtur--so that'll be my vote.

[ares834]

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Yeah. With Loki now ruling Asgard the chance that we would get a well-developed Surtur is basically nill. After all, Loki ruling Asgard is a major plot point and will need a large amount of screen time. Surtur could still appear but it would likely only be to emerge at the end of the movie and having the big bad appear right at the end is almost always lame.

[The_Manhunter]

Surtur and Loki, kind of like this last movie with Malekith and Loki.

[zeptron]

Enchantress with Executioner.

I'm pretty baffled that the MCU has yet to even feature a female villain.

[herakles]

I say the Absorbing Man or Amora and the Executioner. I hope Balder the Brave is introduced in Thor 3

[Warhammer]

Here's one thing, though. I wonder if Marvel will capitalize into what would be some insane foreshadowing.

We all know that Thanos will have to end up in Asgard eventually to get the Tesseract. And remember in The Avengers when the Other told Loki that if he failed, there would be no place where Thanos would not find him?

Just a thought.

I was thinking the same thing. I could honestly see Loki posing as Odin and when Thor returns, Loki will then reveal himself and by the end of the film, Thanos will come to Asgard and likely kill Loki and reclaim the Tesseract thus leading into The Avengers 3.

[Warhammer]

Yep, I could see Thor 3 being the last film leading into Phase 3 with an ending like that.

I could see that. Thanos could also use Surtur as a distraction. Not that the two would actively work together, but Thanos is pretty smart, he'd find a way to use another threat to help him achieve his goal. Even with Loki on the inside, it would be very difficult for him to break into the Vault and make it past all the Asgardians, especially Thor, when the Gauntlet isn't powered yet.

[BigThor]

Yeah I'd be on board with that as well, very plausible in my opinion.

[Bruce_Begins]

No way they (Marvel Studios) are going to kill off Loki in sequels, he is their most popular villain (and the popularity of Hiddleston which draws in audience)

Besides, isn't Loki an immortal in Thor comics ?

Loki isn't an Asgardian. I don't think we are there in the movies yet.

Thor 3 will be part of Phase 3, not Phase 2.

[Marvel]

Maybe they should film Thor 3 right after Avengers so that Chris Hemsworth can stay buff if he even gets buff in time.

It seems like Ron Howard is single-handedly trying to harm Hemsworth and Marvel. He made Chris shrink and drop a ton of weight for Rush now he's doing it again with that In the Heart of the Sea movie. Hemsworth looks like Tom Hanks at the end of Castaway. Whedon may have to CGI muscles back on Thor if they use him in January.
