The third Thor movie will see Chris Hemsworth reprise his role as Thor, and recently, it has been confirmed that Tom Hiddleston will once again play fan-favorite villain Loki. According to Screenrant, it is unclear as to how Loki will exactly fit in the story as Surtur has already assumed the role of the main antagonist. In the comic books, Loki had a partnership with the Fire Demons, and his freeing of Surtur is what brings on Ragnarok. The website reports that it's highly possible that the movie will follow the same storyline.
As for Thor's love interest, Unleash the Fanboy reports that Thor could get a new lady love in the character of Amora the Enchantress. It is rumored that "The Wolf of Wall Street" actress Margot Robbie will be playing the role.
Filming for "Thor: Ragnarok" will start on 2016, right after Hemsworth finishes his work for the "Snow White and the Huntsman" prequel titled "The Huntsman."
"Thor: Ragnarok" will be released on July 28, 2017.
