If you had told me this would have been a thing 10 years ago with such a strong cast I'd laugh, although Lord of the Rings certainly opened the door for "serious" actors to accept fantasy roles.

That Valkyrie casting. Has the racist freak out started yet?

I really liked her in Creed (I think everyone associated with that movie, 'cept for Sly, is basically in the MCU now) but haven't seen her in anything else - well, except for Veronica Mars, but I can't remember her in that. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Einchy]

Seeing as how we didn't get an Amora casting, I'm hoping he comes back for Thor 4 with her.

Marvel can't count to 4.

 

[Eggbok]

Marvel can't count to 4.

True but at the same time there have been 4 Iron Man movies.

 

[Zetta]

Oh shit..... Goldblum and Urban O.O. I didn't even know Ruffalo was in this too, wow this looks like it may be a great movie.

 

[jmood88]

Like, I have this nagging feeling that they're just throwing too much stuff into this movie and it can't possibly work, but even if it's a mess it's going to be entertaining watching it play out on screen.

Spoiler

I enjoyed Thor 2 fight me

I'm not sure where this is coming from.

 

[tomtom94]

I'm not sure where this is coming from.

You can't deny that Ragnarok at this point isn't stuffed full of ideas that basically seem like they're throwing everything in and seeing what sticks.

 

[SmackAttack]

This movie is shaping up nicely so far. Phase 3 is looking to be killer.

 

[Ambient80]

We re in the midst of a Jeff Goldblum Renaissance and it is wonderful.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

You can't deny that Ragnarok at this point isn't stuffed full of ideas that basically seem like they're throwing everything in and seeing what sticks.

We know next to nothing about the story or how big a role any of these new characters will play.

 

[bronson]

(I think everyone associated with that movie, 'cept for Sly, is basically in the MCU now)

Stallone is supposedly gonna be in Guardians 2

 

[Epcott]

Who are these people these guys are playing? Does their casting point towards more Asgardian adventures or something pointing to Planet Hulk?

I think there is a rumor that Stallone is in Guardians 2

 

[plagiarize]

True but at the same time there have been 4 Iron Man movies.

I presume you're counting the first Avengers as an Iron Man movie. I mean, it really is after all.

 

[Broken Joystick]

I'm imaging how differently AoU would have been received if Goldblum voiced Ultron.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Feige mentioned that Thor: Ragnarok was the game-changer for Phase 3, right? The big shake-up. I wonder if Thanos will obtain any of the Infinity Gems here.

I reckon Asgard will get wrecked in some capacity by Thanos or a minion.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Motha fuckin Jeff Goldblum in the MCU? All of my yes.

The rest of the castings sound great too. Am I actually excited for a Thor movie?

 

[Einchy]

I doubt it'll happen but Thanos actually does shit in this movie, it'd be amazing.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

PLEASE PLEASE don't kill Urban's character off, and let him come back in the future! Urban is amazing and while I'd rather have him in a hero's role, the more we see of him, the better!

I wonder if they'll lead up to his epic Gjallerbru moment but then subvert how they interpret it in the film, or maybe the moment will be within Infinity War itself.

I think the moment would play best if they didn't just spend one movie on building him and the others up towards it.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Urban should play Balder
Its time for the 3rd bro

 

[dejay]

Stallone is supposedly gonna be in Guardians 2

I think there is a rumor that Stallone is in Guardians 2

Ha - now that you guys mention it, I seem to recall that discussion here.

 

[Prompto]

I think this might be the first time I've disliked the first two installments of a franchise and yet I'm really hyped for the third

 

[Son Of D]

I'm imaging how differently AoU would have been received if Goldblum voiced Ultron.

I uhh, I Got... yeah, uhh got... no *whispers* strings.

 

[TAJ]

Grandmaster is in this? Thanos probably is too, then.
R.I.P. Heimdall.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Interesting to hear.

 

[Eggbok]

I presume you're counting the first Avengers as an Iron Man movie. I mean, it really is after all.

Well I was thinking Age of Ultron but either works lol.

 

[J_Viper]

What a stellar cast

I'm hoping this is Thor's Winter Soldier

 

[strafer]

PLEASE PLEASE don't kill Urban's character off, and let him come back in the future! Urban is amazing and while I'd rather have him in a hero's role, the more we see of him, the better!

It's Karl Urban, not Sean Bean.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

It's Karl Urban, not Sean Bean.

Is there a show or movie where Sean Bean doesn't die?

 

[Monocle]

Wow this sounds great. It'll be especially cool to see Blanchett as Hela.

 

[Nudull]

Black Valkyrie is a thing that I approve of.

Damn, this cast is looking amazing!

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Is there a show or movie where Sean Bean doesn't die?

National Treasure and the Silent Hill films. The latter I'm really confused by, because it's Silent Hill, but yeah.

 

[Figboy79]

This movie...has a really good cast. I was already on board for Ruffalo/Hemsworth shenanigans, but this is a really good grab by Marvel.

I liked Thor 1 a lot, and Thor 2 was just kind of meh, with some good moments, but I'm hoping Ragnarok is good. I'm confident it will be a turning point for Thor. I feel like he's the least fleshed out of all of the Marvel heroes. Stark, Widow, Hawkeye, even Falcon and Rhodey feel more developed than Thor. Which is a shame, because Hemsworth has natural charisma and comedic chops that could be utilized more often with Thor. The fish out of water stuff in Thor 1 is some of my favorite stuff with him in the MCU. I wish there was more of it.

i meab, I was seeing this anyway, but this latest casting news guarantees they got a ticket sale from me.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Jeff Goldblum should be in everything.

 

[-griffy-]

Is there a show or movie where Sean Bean doesn't die?

Yeah the one with the secret meeting named after Elrond.

 

[Pics_nao]

Okay, but where's Darcy?

 

[triplestation]

But I want Goldblum to be Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man!!

Fuck that

Iron sheik for jj

 

[Azerth]

so what are the chances that at the end thor has to take the thrown and mew mew goes to lady thor ( just not Jane Foster)

 

[dejay]

Jeff Goldblum should be in everything.

Actually I'm just imagining him as Tony Stark and I like it.

 

[Fat4all]

Fuck that

Iron sheik for jj

"Hey J.J. it kinda looked like you had an erection there."

"What?!?! FAWK YOU!"

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Fuck that

Iron sheik for jj

Iranian JJ?

...

I'm down.

"EHSPIDER-MAN IS A MENACE. PETEHR, GO AND TAKE PHOTOGERAPHS OF HIM."

 

[triplestation]

Iranian JJ?

...

I'm down.

"EHSPIDER-MAN IS A MENACE. PETEHRBABY, YOU GO AND TAKE PHOTOGERAPH OF HIM. FOR YOUR FAHKK EHSSPIDER-MAN!!, FAAHK HOLK HOGAN!!"

Fixed.

 

[Daingurse]

Was thinking about how cool it would be if Jeff Goldblum was in the Marvel Universe just a few days ago in the shower lol. Not too familiar with Grandmaster at all, but Jeff Goldblum as an immortal Elder of The Universe sounds awesome.

Jeff Goldblum should be in everything.

 

[brawly]

 

[Jeffolation]

I wonder if Karl Urban wants to do another Judge Dredd movie?

 

[y2dvd]

I want Banner to learn some of that Asgardian science and then have the Hulk do some magic!

 

[xxracerxx]

I wonder if Karl Urban wants to do another Judge Dredd movie?

He wants to do a whole show.

 

[Piku_Ringo]

last stand at Gjallerbru please

 

[MechDX]

That. Is. Awesome.

 

[lupinko]

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

Marvel doesn't own Dredd, and the last movie was perfect. It was only cursed with a stupid distributor (Lionsgate) who had terrible advertising for it.
