Marvel Studios will be releasing three movies for the first time next year and all three of them are potentially very exciting.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2is finally happening andSpider-Man: Homecomingwill beTom Holland’s first solo movie as the new Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even with those two big movies looming,Thor: Ragnarokhas a chance to be the best of the three and might be the most exciting. Now we have some brand new promo art from the movie to get us even more excited.
The folks over atComicBookMoviecame across a new promo poster forThor 3, which shows Thor andHulkfully decked out in gladiator battle garb looking like they are ready for full-blown war. The art apparently came from Thailand, but regardless of where it came from, it looks undeniably awesome and further teases some seriousPlanet Hulkaction. The poster is also quite colorful, matching the logo that Marvel Studios unveiled for the movie this summer at San Diego Comic-Con.
2016 has been another very solid year for Marvel, withCaptain America: Civil WarandDoctor Strangeboth delivering in a big way, in terms of quality and box office. The MCU has had mostly solid entries, but theThor solo movieswould probably both land closer to the bottom of the list in terms of where it stands when compared to other Marvel movies. That said, everything we have heard aboutThor: Ragnarokso far is incredibly encouraging and leads us to believe this could easily be the best installment of theThortrilogy. This art further promotes that idea.
We haven’t been given an official synopsis forThor 3as of yet, but we do know a few things about the plot of the movie. For one, it will at least be partially adapting the belovedPlanet Hulkstoryline from the comics, which is something fans have been craving in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for quite some time and this poster further teases. We also know that it has been described as a “buddy cop” road movie with Thor and Bruce Banner/The Hulk joining forces to take down the bad guys in the movie. It has also been revealed thatBenedict Cumberbatchwill be making an appearance in the movie asDoctor Strangeand that at least part of the movie will be taking place on Earth, or Midgard, as it were. Specifically, in New York City.
