Hopefully Marvel gets the rights back to Dredd so we can get a new movie!

?

 

[Blade30]

Thor movies seems to be the only one with decent villains

Not really surprising since Loki is Thor (adopted) Brother and had the most screen time of the villains.

Taika Waititi directing. dude made What We Do In The Shadows which was the secret best movie of 2015 plus he worked on Flight of the Conchords and a couple of critically acclaimed films i haven't seen yet. fuck it i'm hyped as hell.

I don't know the director nor have I seen his movies, so I can't tell how good he is. I think there was another (rumoured) actor/actress to play in Ragnarok, but I can't remember.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

That's some pretty epic looking concept art.

 

[guek]

So wait, Urban is Skurge...do we have anyone cast as Enchantress???

 

[Sinatar]

We're getting Skurge? Hopefully we get this at some point:

 

[SpaceWolf]

Marvel doing everything they can to reinvigorate interest in their weakest franchise.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Don't know a lot about these characters, but a quick googling is giving me the basics. Grandmaster makes me think Thanos will be a part of this, but what I'm really interested in is Skurge. It says he was a member of the Masters of Evil with Zemo. Is there really a chance of us actually getting a cool villain team?

Erm, they have one of the best (Loki) and one of the worst (Malekith).

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Well, I'm in.

 

[blamite]

Well I guess I'm seeing this movie then.

 

[LosDaddie]

Hulk is in this movie.

I will watch it.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

is Goldblum "eccentric" in this movie or just himself

 

[jmdajr]

Pretty fucking sweet

 

[RetroDLC]

Hulk.

HULK.

 

[Einchy]

Holy shit, this movie is going to be awesome.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Dat Post-Perlmutter-Casting-Sauce!

 

[Obliterator]

Ohhhhh SHIIIIIIIT yes

 

[Siegcram]

It takes a lot for me to see a third Thor movie. This might do it.

 

[Azerth]

so now we just need the enchantress

 

[Lijik]

Im um, ah Im there

 

[mreddie]

Shit, all they need is to add Cranston and Keaton and we're fucking set.

 

[Platy]

GLORIOUS casting.

Both the cast and crew of this movie is VERY inspired.

My only doubt is ... Karl Urban means that Skurge will be a CG character, right ?
Or Urban needs to SERIOUSLY hit the gym =P

 

[Lashley]

OK, now I'm hyped

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

RE: Thor

 

[Father_Brain]

Very surprising that they're confirming the new cast *and* their roles this far from release, given that they still haven't announced who Mikkelsen and McAdams are playing in Doctor Strange, or who any of the new cast in GotG2 is playing, aside from Klementieff as Mantis.

 

[Azuran]

I want to believe but Marvel has let me down twice with Thor already. They also keep screwing him over in the Avengers film.

 

[Glass Rebel]

finally confirming tessa thompson as valkyrie

getting loki excited about this movie now

 

[Sephzilla]

Karl Urban as Skurge...

 

[……forgetit]

Really buried the lead, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie!!!!!!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Imagine a JLA/Avengers film with Goldblum

 

[Obliterator]

GLORIOUS casting.

Both the cast and crew of this movie is VERY inspired.

My only doubt is ... Karl Urban means that Skurge will be a CG character, right ?

He will get on the "Marvel Diet" and be just fine

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Really buried the lead, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie!!!!!!

For real, get that in the thread title.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Holy shit, Goldblum is an amazing get.

Who's Skurge? Sounds like a villain, which worries me that he'll be some grim muscle. I don't want Urban wasted like Adewale was as Kurse

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Its Marvel Newsday, would be surprised if we dont get this today.

 

[fallengorn]

Grandmaster? Skurge? Valkyrie?

It's Mahvel baby!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Really buried the lead, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie!!!!!!

Somebody at Marvel REALLY liked Creed

If they cant make a good Thor movie now, its time to retire this damn franchise, permanently

 

[Falchion]

Jeff Goldblum is going to be an awesome character, can't wait to see it.

 

[xxracerxx]

Oh fuck yes to both.

 

[milanbaros]

I want to believe but Marvel has let me down twice with Thor already. They also keep screwing him over in the Avengers film.

Disney have played it well. A normal Thor movie following Thor 2 and a middling script could risk not doing very well. So they add Hulk, make it happen in space, add Goldblum etc. They have basically made it a certainty it will out gross Thor 2.

I am in awe of the MCU on the business side.

 

[Einchy]

Taika Waititi
Hulk
Cate Blanchett
Jeff Goldblum
95% off-earth
No earth cast

There's no way this movie isn't fun as shit.

 

[Cardon]

Goldblum and Urban in a MCU movie. Goddamn this is going to be great.

 

[Extra Sauce]

What. That cast is too good for this.

Based on the director, source material and cast... this has the potential to be the best Marvel Studios movie by a wide margin.

Oeming's Ragnarok is an amazing piece of epic fantasy.

 

[Jokergrin]

YASSSSSS

 

[Secret Character]

Seriously, which awkward eccentric mad scientist is he playing?

He's the Grandmaster, the master of all of the games in the universe. He's extremely intelligent and has the Power Primordial (not the Power Cosmic) is pretty much immortal.

Interestingly, he was the owner of the Mind gem, which Thanos already had in the MCU. Who knows what they're going to do with him, but I imagine he's the one that sets up the Planet Hulk-esque gladiator games in this movie.

 

[-griffy-]

They also keep screwing him over in the Avengers film.

Just remember that the next time Thor is in an Avengers movie he's gonna be doing Russo Bros action scenes.

[Skellig Gra]

YASSSSSS

Ugh that was a terrible movie.

 

[KevinCow]

This is going to be the best MCU movie.

 

[User 479360]

Man, this movie is going to suck. But, can it manage to be worse than the other 2? (Thor 2 was the worst by far, but both sucked.)

These guys aren't going to make it better. Just campier.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

At some point every major actor and actress will be involved with the MCU in some fashion.

Edit: Everyone keep mentioning Hulk...Hulk is still on earth. The ship the exiled himself in didn't seem like something that would be capable of leaving Earth's atmosphere.
