Thor: Ragnarok's entire plot – based on the trailers
Is it just us, or have Marvel's trailers become far too spoilery? We enjoyed Spider-Man: Homecoming, but would have liked it more if every sequence (apart from the very last segment of the final battle and one other surprise moment) hadn't been revealed ahead of time.
Given that this is the nature of MCU trailers these days, we're confident that we can guess the entire plot of the next release, Thor: Ragnarok.
(Warning: Technically not spoilers because we genuinely haven't seen anything more than the trailers, but still probably a very accurate breakdown of Thor: Ragnarok's plot)
1. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) goes to visit Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for help in finding his father Odin. Strange warns him that danger is coming (probably relating to Hela's return/escape from some mystical prison – a scene we don't seem to have seen yet).
2. Thor runs into the death goddess Hela (Cate Blanchett) on a New York City street. He throws his hammer Mjolnir at her, but she catches it and destroys it. She beats up Thor uand uses her powers to dump him on the planet Sakaar.
3. Thor is captured by fellow Asgardian Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), who hands him over to her employer, the gladiatorial game-loving Grandmaster (Jeff Golblum). Thor gets a makeover, including a haircut and new outfit.
4. Meanwhile, Hela invades Asgard (with the help of Karl Urban's Skurge), completely devastating the useless troops even though they're all supposed to be gods. The signs that the Norse apocalypse Ragnarok is on its way come with her, like the wolf Fenris.
5. Heimdall goes on the run, battling Hela's minions in the forest outside of Asgard (and thus giving Idris Elba something to do in this movie).
6. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) realises he can't win, so goes looking for Thor. The Grandmaster invites him to watch his new 'acquisition' fight in the arena.
7. That acquisition is Thor, who is surprised to find that Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) is his opponent. Thor tries to use the battle to escape, only for his captor to demonstrate how much power he has over him. Grandmaster also double-crosses Loki and chains him up.
8. Valkyrie decides to help Thor escape after realising that Hela is on the rampage. Cue flashback, where she explains that the she was the one who imprisoned Hela before, but at the cost of her sister valkyries' lives.
9. Thor, Valkyrie and Hulk free Loki and they escape to Asgard in a spaceship.
10. They fight the Fenris, and Hulk takes on the fire giant Surtur when he emerges. Loki fights for the citizens of Asgard, finally redeeming himself.
11. Thor meets Hela for a final showdown. She taunts him, and he shows that he doesn't need his hammer to call on his lightning. Badassery ensues.
12. [insert climax here]
13. Thor ends up lost in space, awaiting discovery by the Guardians of the Galaxy in Avengers: Infinity War.
