Fan CastingThor: Ragnarok (2018)

Thor, seeking to prevent Ragnarok, learns that his sister, Hela, the Goddess of Death, has returned to claim Asgard. Thor’s initial attempts to stop her are thwarted when she shatters Mjolnir and banishes him to the planet Sakaar. On Sakaar, Thor is captured by the Grandmaster and forced into gladiatorial combat, where he is shocked to find that Hulk, fully in control and independent of Bruce Banner, has become the Grandmaster’s undefeated champion. After a brutal confrontation, Thor manages to win Hulk’s trust, and with the help of Valkyrie, a former Asgardian warrior now living in exile, they plan an escape. Thor realizes that to save Asgard, he must embrace his true power and overcome his reliance on Mjolnir. He also learns that Asgard’s true strength lies in its people, not its physical realm. Together, Thor, Hulk, and Valkyrie return to Asgard, where Loki has joined forces with them, having his own transformation throughout the journey. As Hela wages war to claim Asgard, Thor realizes that the only way to stop her is to trigger Ragnarok itself, the prophecy that foretells the destruction of Asgard. With Loki’s help, they unleash the fire demon Surtur, who ultimately destroys Asgard and defeats Hela. The surviving Asgardians escape, with Thor now fully embracing his role as their leader. Post Credits: As Thor leads the Asgardian refugees through space, their ship is intercepted by Thanos, foreshadowing the impending conflict with the Mad Titan.
