Man, we just can’t catch a break, can we? After the madness that was the Justice League trailer, the reveal of the Infinity War footage and just a ton of crazy shit, Marvel have just gone and stomped everyone’s sand castles down into the dirt and slapped us with the latest ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ trailer. And it looks good, it looks damn good. I mean, just look at the bloody poster!
Y’all know the drill. Hela, played by a scene stealing Cate Blanchett, is pissed off and lays waste to Asgard, flinging the God of Thunder all across the galaxy (pun intended) and smashing Mjolnir. Thor lands on a backwater planet where he is kidnapped and forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena. The Hulk shows up and proceeds to kick the Thunder God’s ass! And it’s freaking glorious.

The footage looks very cool with that awesome synthwave beat pulsating in the background. Marvel, my heart and soul are ready! I’m no Marvel fanboy, always been a DC stable, until Geoff Johns destroyed the company, but their trailers always manage to appeal to the nerd in me.

Oh, did I mention Loki? Yeah, he’s back. The fan favourite villain is back with that sly smirk and is ready to kick some serious ass alongside his brother.

And what can I say about the Hulk? Wow, If Marvel aren’t getting the rights back for Universal for a solo Hulk film, I’d just rather they do a whole bunch of Hulk team up movies. For sure! That final shot of the Hulk leaping into a fight with Surtur, the fire demon, is the bloody money shot.

The action is kinetic and the colours pop out of the screen. If there is one thing we know about Marvel is that they know how to get your blood flowing with a damn good fight scene. We can’t wait for November.
Check out the insane trailer below.
