Thor: Ragnarok: watch the movie’s first official trailer

The very first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok has arrived, giving us the first glimpse at what Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk have been up to since Avengers: Age of Ultron.

It also lets us see Cate Blanchett’s Hela for the first time, and is completely weird in the best way possible.

Thor is in a gladiator-style battle with the Hulk. Hela stops Mjøllnir with her bare hands and lays ruin to Asgard. And Jeff Goldblum looks spectacularly bizarre.

Thor: Ragnarok, directed by Taika Waititi, is the third film in the Thor franchise — often considered one of Marvel’s less notable superhero franchises. Though, let’s be honest, only a few superhero films can compete with breakout sensations like Guardians of the Galaxy or the ever-improving Captain America series and come out ahead.

Ragnarok might change that and breathe new life into the Thor franchise with some major star power in the form of Blanchett; Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Marvel’s best bad guy, Loki; a rumored appearance by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange; and the screwball weirdness of incorporating the Hulk into a Shakespearean superhero world.

Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled to hit theaters on November 3, 2017.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
