Cool having Karl Urban in this. Hemsworth could have been a rider of the Rohirrim alongside him!

I can't help but think that Urban would have made a pretty good Thor too, we already know he suits the long blonde hair from when he played Eomer. t:

Hemsworth was only 15 when the LotR-movies started filming though.

That's a pretty strange way to class a villain in my opinion. A villain is a villain, if they do villainous things and are opposed to the hero and actively work against them, then they're a villain, no matter how prominent they are. And I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here in the first place. So because Hela hasn't always been a straight up villain from the get go, and perhaps didn't become more prominent as a villain until Simonson's run, that means that she's somehow not worthy to be the villain in a Thor movie?

I'm 100% stoked, Hela has always been one of my favourite villains and then Marvel went and cast my absolute favourite actress on the planet as her in a movie, it's like my ultimate fancast come to life. Thanks Marvel! t: I'm so happy that Hela has been brought back to prominence in this way and has gained a load of new fans through this movie after years of being underappreciated and underused in the comics.

Fair enough

So glad Surtur will be built up to instead of suddenly appearing as a random baddie at the end. From the first trailer I wanted Hela to be in league with Surtur to help bring him back so he could exact his revenge on Asgard.

EDIT: Apparently can't have the image posted here because Chris Hemsworth is "flipping off" Taika.

Yes. He looked the part as Eomer.

Hemsworth was only 15 when the LotR-movies started filming though.

Oh right haha.

[Loden Greatstorm]

Finally a good look at Korg

 

[RoastBeast]

Aw, he flips it the East Coast way. That's cute.

 

[HammerDown]

So in terms of matchups and fights/battles we have a pretty awesome line up in the cards.

Thor vs Hulk
Thor vs Surtur
Thor vs Hela
Thor & Valkyrie vs Hela
Valkyries vs Hela
Valkyrie vs Loki
Hulk vs Fenris
Hulk vs Surtur
...

So much goodness.

 

[jaqua99]

Probably more too

 

[HammerDown]

Probably more too

Yeh i guess so. We still have Odin, Skurge, Heimdall, Topaz, Korg, Miek, The Warriors Three... A lot of them will battle the "berserkers" and the sakaarian guards... Odin might battle Surtur, Loki too... There's clearly an "embarrassment of riches" in terms of action.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Oooh... Me likey very much. We haven't really seen Loki use his daggers since the first film, and given the teaser and now this pic looks like he's gonna use them a lot. I am betting this is how he gets chained up. Losing a fight against Val maybe.

Happy Birthday to my most attractive friend, @chrishemsworth

Ya know its funny, i think i actually see more straight dudes talking about hemsworths hotness than women or gay men... hes just a pretty motherf***er

Im still not sure how I feel about Loki in blue
Just feels weird

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Im still not sure how I feel about Loki in blue
Just feels weird

Well... Technically he was born blue.

 

[BoredGuy]

Well... Technically he was born blue.

Lol, very true

 

[HammerDown]

I actually read in a article a while back that Loki in Ragnarok has been trying to "make peace" with who he really is deep inside. And i guess the blue clothes are some sort of way that Loki exteriorize his real origin in a way. He is a "Frost Giant" after all. They are blue...

Then again later on Loki goes back to his usual green attire. Maybe when he discovers that he is Hela's son then he will be like "Oh, i'll wear green again then". t:

 

[Kane52630]

I just hope we see his true face again.

Some close quarter combat. I agree that it's probably how Loki ends up chained and later on shows in that "Surprise" scene. He get's captured by Valkyrie. In that still in particular one can see that even though Loki can cut Valkyrie's arm off she can actually go for the kill in that situation.

 

[legendkillin]

I want to see some more characters from other realms in this too.

How many realms have we truly seen in the Thor movies. Earth/Midgard, Asgard, Jotunheim(Frost), and where the Dark Elves use to be.

In this we should see Hel, Surtur/Muspelheim, and maybe Vanaheimr or Thor meets one of the people from there and they tell him the future(Thanos arriving).

Yes, need to see much more of that. Even the trailer shot of him twirling them up in the air got me very excited.

There are 9 realms.

Asgard - Most of the movie will focus there.
Middgard(Earth) - That we have seen plenty off.
Jotunheim - We we're there in the first movie. Frost Giants...
Svartalfheim - The Dark World. Dark Elves.
Vanaheim - We're Hogun is from. We where there in Thor 2.
Niflheim - Hela's domain. We have seen some of it in the scene with aerial battle against the Valkyries.
Muspelheim - Surtur's realm. Will play a decent size role in Ragnarok. Fiery demons faces...

Nidavellir - We haven't seen. It's where mjolnir was forged. Home of the dwarves.
Alfheim - We haven't seen.

Cool so it is possible we will see all of them by A4. I can see him traveling to Nidavellir to get the hammer reforged and maybe Stark works on a new armor. Maybe Dinkledge is playing a dwarf of not Pip the Troll.

Maybe tricky to work in Alfeheim probably would have been better in Thor 2 to have Light Elves. Perhaps one will be around Sakaar during the arena battles.

He almost looks like Data from Star Trek: TNG.

I think it's time for a film reboot/deboot/remake of those movies!
