In other news, "Thor: Ragnarok" has recently released two new theatrical posters. These showcase Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) new look with shorter hair, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Heimdall (Idris Elba), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Odin (Anthony Hopkins), Grand Master (Jeff Goldblum), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) wearing a Sakaar battle armor, and the two different looks of Hela (Cate Blanchett), the Asgardian goddess of death.
"Thor: Ragnarok" will see the titular character imprisoned on the other side of the universe sans his iconic hammer. However, Asgard is in trouble at the hands of a new, powerful enemy. Thor must do something to stop the villainous Hela from destroying Asgard, but he must first survive the deadly gladiator battle that pits him against his fellow Avenger, the Incredible Hulk.
The film opens in cinemas on Nov. 3. Next year, Thor and Hulk will reappear in "Avengers: Infinity War," which is set to hit theaters on May 4, 2018.
