I see we're approaching the Iron Man 3 conversation of "it totally fucking sucks NO it totally fucking rocks and is Shane Black's love letter to CBM in general". Always a good time

Spoiler

Iron Man 3 was amazing btw, you slavish, ignorant, fucking nerd plebes

It's like poetry. It rhymes....

I'm a traditionalist and a Banner and Betty superfan and she's his 1 true love across ALL mediums and Marvel bigwigs be damned, but....I ship this. A far more compelling story of camaraderie and love than Jane Foster with Thor. And we can't forget Thor's initial dialog in this trailer "and that's when I met you". That line is totally romantic. Who says love can't blossom on the battlefield?

 

[Tetsujin_MK]

Good gravy...was that an actual poster?

Good lord, was that the real poster?

Fanmade wallpaper.

(Also, that's Thor from Avengers 1, not TDW.)

 

[Bisnic]

This movie look so colorful and fun.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Iron Man 3 is definitely Marvel's worst.

It's the best Iron Man movie, tho

 

[More_Badass]

Marvel really is just letting their directors go wild, huh?

According to the acclaimed indie director, 80 percent of Thor: Ragnarok was improvised, or ad-libbed

"My style of working is I'll often be behind the camera, or right next to the camera yelling words at people, like, 'Say this, say this! Say it this way!'" he said. "I'll straight-up give Anthony Hopkins a line reading. I don't care."

[Pai Pai Master]

I keep on imagining Rhys Darby saying Thor's lines in the trailer.

The comedy is so very Taika/New Zealand

Can't wait to see him pop up in this

 

[Skinny Pete]

Rhys needs to make a cameo. Guy is the best.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Asgardians not Sassgardians

Spoiler

totally gonna run this one into the ground

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Can Jermaine Clements have a part too please?

 

[IndoAssassin]

After rewatching all Iron Man movies, I think it tied with first one.

Let him voice Beta Ray Bill!

It shows and it's great. Hemsworth looks like he's just about cracking up in that conversation with Hulk, but he doesn't quite break character. It makes a conversation with a big CG monster that isn't there seem very naturalistic.

A shame that Edgar Wright wasn't able to fully do his thing on Ant-Man though. But I have to admit, Thor: ragnarok looks amazing and I'm glad they've been given this level of freedom for this film.

Things change, and there were lots of factors there. I say this as a massive fan of Edgar Wright.

My dream was an Edgar Wright directed Spider-Man of Ant-Man went well.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

This is one of the best trailers I've ever seen, can't stop watching it.

What caused the shift in Marvel's handling of directors? We went from Iron Man 2 to Ant-Man to a Jon Hughes-style high school movie with a superhero in it and two sci-fi action-comedies, one(?) with a ton of improv, in the same year and an afrofuturistic thriller next year

Kevin Feige stopped having to report directly to Perlmutter

Probably comes from Feige taking the reigns from Ike Pearlmutter.

 

[mrklaw]

Who is beta ray bill that everyone keeps talking about?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

If this film is half as good as What We Do in the Shadows, I'll be very happy. Such a funny film.

"Oh noooo... Peter got him..."

 

[Secret Character]

Guys, I think I found someone in the trailer:


BETA RAY BILL

I don't know if this was covered yet, but in this picture are:
- Beta Ray Bill
- Man Thing
- Bi-Beast
- Ares

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Be really disappointing if we don't see Beta Ray Bill in "person"

 

[SuperEpicMan]

I'm not sure if it has already been posted but

Spoiler

Clancy Brown has been confirmed as the voice of Surtur. Which blows up my theory about Sam Neil voicing him.

 

[black070]

I hope talking Hulk isn't relegated to this movie alone, its hilarious.

 

[jph139]

It's no surprise that the really memorable Marvel movies of the past few years are the ones with the most memorable directors. Hell, that's been true since Shane Black on IM3.

My only question now is whether, if/when they get Taika Waititi again, they put him on Thor 4 or give him a new property...

Phil Lord & Chris Miller, take note.

Feige not reporting to Perlmutter anymore, the dissolution of the brain trust, and the success of Guardians would be my bet.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Who is beta ray bill that everyone keeps talking about?

A wielder of Mjolnir, though Odin did forge a separate hammer for him.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

"Mark Ruffalo would be finished shooting for the day," Waititi recalled, "and he'd come up to me and he'd be like, 'Why have we not been fired yet? We are doing the most insane stuff in this film, so where's the phone call?'"

This... This makes me extremely excited.

 

[Callibretto]

I don't know if this was covered yet, but in this picture are:
- Beta Ray Bill
- Man Thing
- Bi-Beast
- Ares

I wonder what's their story in MCU, previous arena champion? current top 4 champion? as in if Hulk keep fighting in the arena he will end up fighting Beta Ray Bill etc?

 

[JimiNutz]

I keep on thinking that I'm done with these stupid Marvel films and then they release new trailers and once again im back on board.

Both this and Black Panther look really good.

 

[y2dvd]

IM2 was easily the worst MCU movie.

Taiki is stylin AF!

 

[jmdajr]

OH SHIT FUCKING SURTUR

Hercules, She-Hulk or a Loki solo/Journey Into Mystery would be great.

 

[inky]

Some horse dude who lifted the hammer and everyone went nuts about. He's just whatever.

 

[demosthenes]

This... This makes me extremely excited.

I want to hang out with Ruffalo for a day. I think it'd be so cool.

Hard to say about Phase 4 stuff without knowing who's going to die in IW/IW+1.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

They should offer him a Thunderbolts movie.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

James Gunn has dibs on Thunderbolts I think

OUT

This movie looks so awesome.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

If Rhys or Jemaine aren't in Thor in some capacity, I will be very, very sad.

 

[tomtom94]

Without wishing to disappoint people, pretty sure Taika is destined for things bigger than the MCU.

 

[brotkasten]

I'm wondering how hard they're going to waste Cate Blanchett in this.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Without wishing to disappoint people, pretty sure Taika is destined for things bigger than the MCU.

Give him the Obi-Wan movie.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

So far this year, we've had two unique Marvel films in GotG2 by Gunn and Homecoming by Watts, Thor looks and sounds insanely Taika Waititi, Ryan Coogler is going to bless us with Black Panther and the Russo Bros. are going to work their magic on Avengers.

Then I look at Doctor Strange by Derrickson and the next Ant-Man by Peyton Reed, and it's like... wow, kind of a downgrade. I dunno, maybe Reed will surprise me with Ant-Man and the Wasp but I won't hold my breath.

Beta Ray Bill, he's been teased as easter egg twice now in GoTG and Thor Ragnarok. I think it's only a matter of time before Feige fully commit and make one.

 

[Sojgat]

Clement as Beta Ray Bill is the dream.

I like the sound of the route they're going with Ant-Man and the Wasp - the set pieces sound creative and fun.

We'll need talking Hulk when they do World War Hulk next, right?

Do we have any idea how likely a Thor 4 is? I had assumed that the original Avengers RDJ, Evans, Johansson and Hemsworth would be leaving after the Infinity War films, mainly because it'll probably be too expensive to keep renewing their contracts.
