Until then, I have Thor: Ragnarok , which tells the action-packed, intergalactic, Marvel-approved version of that story. Of course, Thor has to stop her because, well, evil βbut first he must escape the garbage planet Sakaar ruled by the eccentric Grandmaster Jeff Goldblum , who presides over alien gladiator fights.
The perpetually-glowering Loki Tom Hiddleston is around, tooβoccupying the moral ground somewhere between evil Hela and the purely good Thor. A great new addition to the cast is Tessa Thompson, as Scrapper , once a Valkyrie, a legendary force of Asgardian female warriors, now a hard-drinking bounty hunter for the Grandmaster. When we first meet her, she struts cockily off a space ship, only to fall down drunk off the ramp.
Speaking of Waititi, he acts, too, voicing the amusingly droll rock demon named Thing Korg. Waititi generously peppers his film with pop culture references. The whole cast is great. When you have Idris Elba in a relatively minor role of the all-seeing protector Heimdall, you know your ensemble is stacked. Goldblum does his wildly entertaining weirdo routine as Grandmaster.
I liked Thor: Ragnarok. Yes, Hemsworth looks hot with his shorn locks, but this is madness. How did the focus groups let that one slide? We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it.
