I like this.

As for explaining the Hulk getting there? Just adapt the story.

• Black Widow and Banner meet up, have an intimate night or whatever because they're in love
• While he's got his guard down she Hulk suppression gasses him or whatever
• Tony and/or whoever else restrain him and ship him into space/into a portal to :shrug: because he's a threat for the on-coming Civil War
• He crash lands here and ends up in this spot
• "Hey Thor, what's up"

Easy peasy. It also sets up him being all pissy and shit when he comes back. Maybe a World War Hulk story could follow? Probably not.

Since Stark and Widow are working with Thunderbolt Ross in Civil War, this is actually kinda plausible.

 

[Schweinehund]

I really want them to make Thor work, but this is better than having RDJ steal the spotlight.

I didn't care for the "this will be the funniest thor yet" comments either. I was hoping Ragnarok would go more serious, ditching Kat Denning and the earth portion.

 

[Fandangox]

Maybe they can squeeze an Adam Warlock cameo somewhere if he is going to play a part in part 2.

 

[injurai]

Only in because we need more Ruffalo

Why would Banner let himself get into that situation? He knows he can't have sex.

 

[squadr0n]

This sounds like it could be the best Thor movie so far but it actually just sounds like 2 movies in one and will feel super rushed imo. Atleast this will give Marvel a chance to actually introduce the Infinity Gauntlet to audiences if they decide to go that route which they really should.

 

[Pritchardo]

eh sounds fake.

 

[guek]

No wonder he's always so angry

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Uh, he can have sex. He can't have children. The radiation made him sterile, that doesn't mean his wang dang doodle fell off.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Watch the ending of Ultron here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhQ1FSWMInI#t=2m29s
Fury doesn't know SHIT.

"One of our tech boys flagged this. Splashed down in the Banda sea. Could be the Quinjet, but with Stark's stealth tech, we still can't track the damn thing. probably jumped out and swam to Fiji. He'll send a postcard."

The original story stands. Hulk flew away in Quinjet to Sakaar.

"Wish you were here".

 

[JdFoX187]

Wish the rumor was true, but still seems disappointing from the perspective that Marvel was originally hyping Ragnarok as Thor's Winter Soldier. I expected some major shit to go down on Asgard. Instead, we're going to have a buddy cop movie with Thor and Hulk. Plus the director saying this is going to have more humor than Dark World? That movie already had too much cringe-worthy humor. No thanks.

 

[Dabanton]

But were going to assume after his last appearance in AoU that his staying in his Hulk form I doubt an audience wants to see a Hulked out Banner fucking Black Widow.

Cue that outrageous gif...

 

[Korosenai]

Why couldn't they just do this exact plot line for the hulk himself.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Why couldn't they just do this exact plot line for the hulk himself.

Disney doesn't own the rights to make a standalone Hulk movie. They just own the rights to the character Hulk/Banner.

 

[richiek]

Why couldn't they just do this exact plot line for the hulk himself.

Because Marvel/Disney can't make a standalone Hulk film without Universal's approval. Putting Planet Hulk into Thor: Ragnarok is Marvel's way of getting around that.

 

[dabig2]

I forgot about the shows.

Might work, but that seems incredibly limiting.

True, luckily both of those shows, specifically Agent Carter season 2, involve something that will tie in with the upcoming Dr. Strange movie and that something could very well be used to explain how Hulk gets off-planet in that movie - maybe an after credits scene to set up Thor:Ragnarok?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Uh, he can have sex. He can't have children. The radiation made him sterile, that doesn't mean his wang dang doodle fell off.

He literally has to stop himself from having sex with Betty Ross because his heart-rate monitor is going crazy. Then he tells her "We have to stop. I... can't get too excited."

The director was apparently joking throughout the entire interview so I wouldn't take those humor comments too literally

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Something about the Hulk solo movie rights not belonging to Marvel, I think.

Still it seems too early to me for legit ragnarok spoilers to be emerging.

He literally has to stop himself from having sex with Betty Ross because his heart-rate monitor is going crazy. Then he tells her "We have to stop. I... can't get too excited."

He has more control over his transformations with each film. No reason to think he can't do it now.

 

[Schweinehund]

I think Paramount owns the distribution rights for Hulk so they have to give them a cut. This is a way to side step that I suppose.t

 

[richiek]

But at the end of Incredible Hulk, Banner is able to successfully control when he can Hulk out. Remember "I'm always angry?"

I think Paramount owns the distribution rights for Hulk so they have to give them a cut. This is a way to side step that I suppose.t

It's Universal, not Paramount.

 

[TDLink]

You don't like anything

What? That's not true at all. I made the current OP in the MCU thread. In general I enjoy these movies. I don't like the Thor films very much though and everything about this one seems like it's continuing that trend.

 

[Error]

Hulk to save this movie, might be the first time I'm hyped for a Thor movie.

 

[Astarte]

But how are they gonna explain how he even GETS there?

Tony gives him a rage powered jetpack

 

[Soapbox Killer]

The Saccarsen?!?! Oh hell yeah. And make it so it was Thanos that knocked the quinjet off course as Hulk is the only one that can give "Naked" Thanos work.

 

[PadWarrior]

I'd be okay with this story line

 

[Zen_Arcade]

This sounds lame. It's just taking two potentally great movies and cramming them into one movie that won't be a good version of either storyline.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Ultron had already set the quinjet to return to his origin point (Thanos' sanctuary) and Hulk wasn't able to re-direct it but it crashed on Sakaar when he smashed the flight controls. Done.

 

[TDLink]

This sounds lame. It's just taking two potentally great movies and cramming them into one movie that won't be a good version of either storyline.

This is basically my problem with it. When all is said and done we still won't have even one just straight up Thor film, which really sucks.

 

[DeathyBoy]

They would just use a throwaway line from Hulk of "Some magic man" and "portal"

Or maybe use a post credit scene in Dr. Strange.... or maybe GotG 2

The swerve to end all swerves should be that The Illuminati has already formed in the MCU, I mean I'd guess it'd be Panther/Strange/Iron Man/Black Widow in this version... unless they go the whole 'Banner is a member, Hulk isn't' route.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Planet hulk was best part of civil war era. I'm excited.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Ultron had already set the quinjet to return to his origin point (Thanos' sanctuary) and Hulk wasn't able to re-direct it but it crashed on Sakaar when he smashed the flight controls. Done.

Yeah, that's a possibility. Ultron was piloting the Quinjet before Hulk interfered. Who knows where Ultron was taking it, especially if his plan was to blow up Earth. He wanted to leave Earth so he can come back a newer race, and now its Hulk leaving Earth.

 

[Mudcrab]

But how are they gonna explain how he even GETS there?

Surprise introduction of Carol Danvers giving him a lyft there.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Surprise introduction of Carol Danvers giving him a lyft there.

Carol on her best day couldn't do that.

 

[SpaceWolf]

The Thor franchise determined to establish itself as the most half-baked, tonally in-consist superhero series of all time, I see.

Man, the Thor films could have really been something special. They blew it.

 

[BKatastrophe]

How does Hulk formally get there?
I just read it sometime ago and it was like HULK SHOT OFF TO SPACE BECAUSE HE'S A BAD ASS DUDE. Can't remember what the intro was about or anything at all now that I think about it. The whole comic reminded me of that HBO(or was it Showtime?) Spartacus show on hulk sized steroids though which was badass. Thor instead of Hulk as the protag sounds sorta boring.

The Illuminati lure him into a rocket and shoot him into space because he fucks everything up and at the time civil war was happening. Obviously, not the best person to have around during a period of major turmoil.

All these super hero movies have huge plotholes. I'd be fine with this as long as it's fun. I gave up on these being anything more than that.

What plotholes currently exist? This is a rumor. Not a script, not an outline, it's barely a well-thought out concept.

This would also be a great way to have Jarnbjorn show up

My man! Does it already have Celestial killing powers?

I really want them to make Thor work, but this is better than having RDJ steal the spotlight.

I didn't care for the "this will be the funniest thor yet" comments either. I was hoping Ragnarok would go more serious, ditching Kat Denning and the earth portion.

It's sarcasm.

The swerve to end all swerves should be that The Illuminati has already formed in the MCU, I mean I'd guess it'd be Panther/Strange/Iron Man/Black Widow in this version... unless they go the whole 'Banner is a member, Hulk isn't' route.

Amadeus Cho helped get rid of Hulk in the comics, but wasn't a part of the Illuminati. If I recall correctly.

Just because Widow helps, doesn't mean she's a part of the group. She doesn't fit the type.

 

[Cth]

Fury says at the end that they found the quinjet ditched in the ocean. He was still on Earth at the end of that movie; it didn't fly off into space.

Simple.

Fury lied.. Like he did about Coulson.

He sabotaged/took control of the quinjet and shot him into space to try and kill him.

As soon as he's in space, his jet is grabbed/abducted by scavengers ala GOTG. This group sells slaves to the arena or scouts for new threats.

Easy really if you have any imagination.

Then when Hulk returns, he goes after Fury World War Hulk style.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

OMG, I want this to happen so much!

 

[demosthenes]

Why can't a slave ship or something have heard about hulk some how and want him for the gladiator fights?

 

[Johndoey]

This sounds weird. Like would the movie start with the banishment and then resolve near the end of the film. Or would the Planet HULK stuff just get so pared down it becomes just a cool backdrop.

 

[Blader]

This is basically my problem with it. When all is said and done we still won't have even one just straight up Thor film, which really sucks.

What is a straight up Thor film that the first two movies haven't already done?

 

[The Kree]

This is not what I would want for either a Planet Hulk or a Ragnarok adaptation.

 

[Japanmanx3]

This his my attention. May have to actually watch the Dark World now.

 

[Faustek]

Ooh I needed some fun news now.

Anyway I'll probably be disappointed since the comic books are on point here and we all know we need 2-3 movies just to make this saga justice.

 

[TDLink]

What is a straight up Thor film that the first two movies haven't already done?

No Earth. Focus just on Thor and his cast of characters in the Realms. Ideally a villain that isn't just Loki or largely involving Loki. That was fine for the first film but Thor has gods and demons and magic and Loki for a third time frankly isn't as interesting as all that.

Thor 2 in theory had potential to be this, but Malekith was criminally undercooked and they still spent over a third of the film on Earth. They also had a focus on Natalie Portman and the Kat Dennings character (who is terrible and very much takes it away from being a film about Thor and his characters). As a result, the Warriors 3 and Sif (actual Thor characters) have been criminally under-serviced in these movies.

It's also sounding more and more like Ragnarok will either completely omit or largely marginalize Surtur, which is a big mistake since he is one of the most menacing and exciting Thor villains.

 

[broncobuster]

I like it. It's a fun premise.

For how Hulk gets there, the Marvel movies are never terribly concerned with the details. Take the Thor to Avengers transition. Thor 1 ends with Asgard cut off, Loki falling into something, with a post-credit implication he's controlling the naked fella. Move to Avengers, Loki is with Thanos and jumps out of the cosmic cube. Jeremy Renner says something about doorways that doesn't make sense. Then Thor jumps to Earth, to the exact location of everybody else; something about Odin sending him. Or the simplest solution is to have Hulk in space, and leave the hows and whys as mysteries to be explained later.

Ultron had already set the quinjet to return to his origin point (Thanos' sanctuary) and Hulk wasn't able to re-direct it but it crashed on Sakaar when he smashed the flight controls. Done.

Quinjet has light speed?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Uhhhhh insert gravitational anomaly subplot? :3

I dunno, I don't think it'll play out this way but there are ways they could make it happen.

Yea, wormhole is easy enough

 

[Tathanen]

Loki, having been Smashed by Hulk previously, understands him as a threat that needs to be isolated. Under the guise of Odin, he uses the bifrost to snatch Hulk off earth and send him to a barren hostile world.

Easy.
