The Celestials?

More like Surtur, Hela... would be my guess. We know that the Valkyrie we're sent by Odin to take on Hela and Odin most likely took on Surtur as well to keep some sort of order and peace on the Nine Realms. The "Eternal Flame", that which powers up Surtur is in Odin's safe so most likely and following the comics that was taken away from Surtur in a battle millennia ago. So Odin fought these threats, defeated/imprisoned them and even took away their source of power to have it safe on Asgard and close to him we're he could keep it in check with his own power while these threats we're "kept at bay" in their own realms.

...Odin, king of the gods and former ruler of Asgard, was aware of certain major looming cosmic dangers... Odin was doing far more than it seemed on the surface to keep the universe safe. That there were all these threats that he had quelled or was keeping at bay, using his strength and power to do so.

so next week the final trailer for Thor R?

Maybe. We'll have to wait and see.

Australian premiere of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor: Ragnarok to fill entire Robina cinema complex

LOCAL cast, crew and VIPs will be the first to see Chris Hemsworth on the big screen in Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok when the film premieres on the Gold Coast.

Event Cinema Robina will host the Australian premiere of the all-star blockbuster on Friday, October 13 — almost two weeks before it opens in Australian cinemas.

Filmed on the Gold Coast from July to October last year, Thor: Ragnarok opens in Australia on October 26 — a week before it’s rolled out in US cinemas on November 3.

The film’s Australian premiere will take over the entire Event Cinema Robina complex to accommodate local cast and crew, celebrity guests, VIPs and media.

Event Queensland marketing manager (SEQ) Kristie Pain said the Coast cinema complex was thrilled to be rolling out the red carpet for the hottest premiere in town.

“We are delighted to be the host venue for the event and can’t wait for movie goers to see this film on our screens when it opens in cinemas,” she said.

The Robina site, which has seven traditional cinemas, a Vmax theatre and three Gold Class cinemas, can accommodate more than 2000 people.

The third stand-alone film about Hemsworth’s Asgardian superhero, Thor: Ragnarok has become one of Marvel Studios’ most highly anticipated releases thanks to the stellar record of its director, New Zealand comedian and filmmaker Taika Waititi.

The first trailer for the film became Marvel and Disney’s most watched ever when it was released in April, clocking up more than 136 million views in 24 hours.

Waititi oversaw an all-star cast for Ragnarok, his first big-budget studio picture, with Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum joining returning Thor favourites Sir Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston and Mark Ruffalo.

The blockbuster was a departure of sorts for Waititi, whose previous indie hits include the award-winning comedy/dramas Boy and Hunt For The Wilderpeople.

Special effects played a crucial role in realising Waititi’s vision for the film, with motion capture and advanced SFX technology playing as big a part in the action as the actors themselves.

But but but he didn't mention Surtur.......

I noticed this as well.

I hope a fight with him is an act 4. They defeat Hela and the monsters. Then Asgard vs Surtur.

I highly doubt they would do that. For the 50th time, Hela is the primary villain of this film, NOT Surtur. They're not going to completely overshadow her by giving the climactic battle to someone else. The hero's big final fight is always against the Big Bad, that's a CBM staple.

Thor defeating Hela before the big final fight would be crap (especially considering the director, cast and producer have all repeatedly talked about how supremely powerful she is) and I, for one, would be incredibly disappointed.

 

[Finarfiniel]

Also, I totally just booked my ticket for opening day. I'm so damn excited, I can't believe it's only 4 weeks on Tuesday, it feels like I've been waiting for this film forever. t:

It's happened multiple times btw, Batman Vs Superman, Rise of The Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange, to name a few.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I didn't even notice Thor on that cover at first. I was just like "Damn, Hulk looks awesome!"

 

[HammerDown]

Here's a better look at that cover. Yeah Hulk does look awesome indeed.

I badly want this movie to be out. I really can't understand how people can bring up comic book movie fatigue. I badly need my fix for the newest MCU movie. I have to wait til November.

 

[BigThor]

It's just a regular picture to me.

 

[HammerDown]

So it seems that the coversation between Thor and Hulk takes part after the fight. And we see that Thor has no longer the "obedience disk" on him. Did he won the fight? Did he won his freedom? Or did he fry the disk when going full beast mode?

If they take inspiration from the Planet Hulk animated movie then i could easily see more or less the same thing that happen to BRB happen to Thor in terms of being freed from the disk. Instead of it being destroyed by Hulks weapon, it would be destroyed by Thor himself... Also Thor is not bruised at all during their conversation. Once again proving his amazing soaking damage skills.

They could also add the "obedience disk" on post like they did in the TV Spot when he is in the arena.

 

[BigThor]

OMG yes it would be aweeeeesome if he fries it while going beast mode, just plain awesome.

 

[The Endless]

Well we know Hulk hasn't turned into Banner since arriving on Sakaar. So I'm guessing either Thor beats Hulk back into Banner... or it's a draw and they expend so much energy Hulk reverts back into Banner. Similar to what happened when Sentry fought Hulk.

 

[HammerDown]

I don't think Hulk reverts back to Banner in the fight. Thor and Hulk seem to be taking after the fight and later on when does revert to Banner then Thor is talking to him describing the fight according to his own perspective. He's clearly being sarcastic at that point and taking advantage of Banner not remember anything.

But it could happen... I just don't see Hulk going back to Banner and right back to Hulk again.

 

[BigThor]

If I were a betting man I would beat on it being a draw, you know how Marvel Studios LOVE inconclusive hero vs hero fights (which is getting old).

 

[jadejaws]

Putting together the Thor Hulk fight is fun to speculate on since there seems to be so many bits and pieces to it (chasing through the streets, the lightning factor). Anyone think that Thor destroys both Hulk's and his own disk? Which is why they end up having the conversation in Hulk's room? I tend to agree that we don't see Banner right away because he's clueless about their fight until Thor tells him about it.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I'm with you on this.

 

[HammerDown]

If I were a betting man I would beat on it being a draw, you know how Marvel Studios LOVE inconclusive hero vs hero fights (which is getting old).

It's most likely going to be some sort of a draw. And even though it might be getting old the draw is a result that perfectly fits the "Thor vs Hulk" rivalry. They should be evenly matched, that's what also makes their partnership/rivalry so special... always trying to "one up" each other, friendly rivalry, Thor knows that Hulk is no joke and Hulk knows that Thor will never back down from proving he is as powerful if not more than the Hulk. Thor is the one character the can really connect with the Hulk and have a friendly bond.

Yeh the chasing through the streets is still a mystery. And the "lightning factor" is still wrapped tight. I don't think Hulk has an obedience disk on him at least we can't see any. He is the Champion and the obedience disk phase is most likely long gone. He enjoys being on Sakaar and is worshiped there so no need to control him.

The reason why they end up having the conversation is most likely due to some crazy stuff that happened during the fight that made them both act like "hot headed fools" towards each other. And because Thor wants Hulk's help and probably also wants to take Banner out of Sakaar too. From that Comic-Con footage we can see that Thor really likes the Hulk and he kinda missed him too hence his reaction "YES" to seeing Hulk and the need for Thor to talks things out, all the messed up stuff that had happened to him...
