Marvel Releases First-Look Images From ‘Thor Ragnarok’

On Wednesday, Marvel Studios and Entertainment Weekly provided readers with the first official look at the highly anticipated third installment of Marvel’s Thor film franchise.

Thor: Ragnarok will take the titular hero, along with fellow Avenger The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), back into outer space as Thor (Chris Hemsworth) searches for clues to prophetic — and cryptic — visions he had in the blockbuster smash, Avengers: Age of Ultron. His visions revolve around the mystery of the “infinity stones,” rare gems that grant powers to anyone who wields them. They have been a driving subplot throughout nearly all of Marvel’s movies.

The “infinity stones” will take centerstage in the upcoming two-part series, Avengers: Infinity War, where villain Thanos (Josh Brolin) seeks the stones for an unrevealed purpose.

The images from Entertainment Weekly released Wednesday give fans their first look at a short-haired Thor, along with glimpses of Ragnarok‘s villain, Hela (Cate Blanchett), as well as characters The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson).
