Hulk vs Thor!
Marvel shared a new synopsis for Thor: Ragnarok which confirms the next Odinson movie will be a contest of champions:
“In Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok – the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization – at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Incredible Hulk!”
Thor: Ragnarok is directed by Taika Waititi. Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkinds reprise their roles as Thor, Loki and Odin. Idris Elba is back as Heimdall.
Cate Blanchett will play Hella, known in comics as the Goddess of Death and Queen of the Underworld. Jeff Goldblum is The Grandmaster. In comics this character is connected to The Collector (who appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy) as Elders of the Universe. Tessa Thompson joins the Thor-verse as Valkyrie and Karl Urban is Skurge, the Executioner. Continue reading THOR: RAGNAROK Synopsis Reveals Fight with HULK
A surprise visit to an alien world on the set from Thor: Ragnarok may have fan speculation at light speed.
Director Taika Watiti, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson greeted fans via Marvel Studios Facebook Live for the final day of shooting.
The director showed how they created a “sci-fi space wasteland” and “scrapers” aka actors dressed in robes plus a variety of alien weaponry on set of the sequel on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Mark Ruffalo (as the Hulk) will appear in the third Thor solo film.
Jeff Goldblum is playing the Grandmaster, a cosmic villain who pit heroes against each other in “Contests of Champions” for his amusement. In the comics the Grandmaster and Collector (Benicio Del Toro from Guardians of the Galaxy) are Elders of the Universe.
This was our first look at Thompson (sporting white streaks of face paint) playing Valkyrie. Karl Urban is playing Skurge and Cate Blanchett is portraying Hela, Goddess of the Underworld.
But a moment on the Facebook live set tour could mean an all-new version of “Hulk SMASH puny God!”
Welcome back to Planet Hulk!
The latest Marvel teaser shows a war of Hulks coming in 2015.
Planet Hulk was the Greg Pak epic that send the Green Goliath off-world in a Gladiator style epic in the same era as Civil War – another teaser Marvel revealed last week.
The Illuminati (led by Tony Stark and Reed Richards) trapped the Hulk and sent him to a desolate alien world to protect Earth from future smashing. Continue reading CAPTAIN AMERICA On PLANET HULK
“HULK SMASH BOX OFFICE IN OWN MOVIE! NO NEED AVENGERS!” Imagine that in a loud bellow from a green giant!
After two solo movies the Hulk got cinematic justice and stole the show in Marvel’s The Avengers. MTV pressed Marvel Films honcho Kevin Feige about Hulk carrying his own movie again and specifically a potential movie based on Greg Pak’s Planet Hulk.
“‘Planet Hulk‘ is a cool story,” Feige responded and adds. “‘World War Hulk‘ is a cool story.” (This geek screams!)
“Do I think Hulk can carry a movie and be as entertaining as he was in ‘Avengers‘? I do believe that. I do believe he absolutely could. We certainly are not even going to attempt that until ‘Avengers 2,'” said Feige. “So there’s a lot of time to think about it.”
“Part of what’s fun about the way we played him in ‘Avengers‘ is the ensemble quality of it,” he continued of why Hulk resonated with so many fans this summer. “I think the pathos and humor, most importantly, that Mark and Joss brought to it showcased a different element of Hulk that’s there in the comics, and was always inherent in his character. But when he was so brooding in his other two films, he didn’t get to have that wry sense of humor that Mark did such an amazing job performing.”
In Planet Hulk – Iron Man and Reed Richards are among the heroes who banish Hulk into space on an uninhabited rock but the Jade Giant lands on a world in which he becomes a Gladiator type hero. In World War Hulk – the goliath returns to Earth to exact vengeance on the heroes who banished him.
Mark Ruffalo reportedly has a 6 picture deal with Marvel and that inspired this geek’s dreams of a Hulk solo movie based on several storylines including Planet Hulk.
After the Hulk’s performance in The Avengers do you want to see a Hulk solo movie?
