Two-time Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Carol, “Cinderella”) joins Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok” as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, along with Jeff Goldblum (the upcoming “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Jurassic Park”) who joins the cast as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson (“Creed,” “Selma”) who will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban (“Star Trek” trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King”) who will add his might to the fray as Skurge.

And yes, I misspelled Ragnarok, can a mod fix that please?
 
WHOA! I'm just.. speechless, I have no idea who they could possibly play.

Hmm, Goldblum as Grandmaster would be interesting.

EDIT: Holy crap, I just threw out Grandmaster as a random guess! Didn't realize THAT'S who he's playing!
 
That's quite a (new) supporting cast.

I know Marvel wants Ragnarok to be what Winter Soldier was for Captain America. I don't think they're happy with how the Thor movies are perceived.
 
What. That cast is too good for this.
Maybe the movie will finally be good enough for its cast. Once can hope.

After liking (but not loving) Thor and falling asleep during Thor 2, I'm ready for this next one to knock it out of the park. They need to pull a Captain America and double the quality.

Yeah, they've been very honest about that. No shitty "it is what it is" attitudes here.

I remember a post in the Civil War thread about how they made Odin uninteresting, and frankly, I feel like they did that for everybody in Asgard.

Magic, science, whatever, these are GODS. We should be in awe of what we see and want to see more! The casting and character choices alone make me excited for Ragnarok.

Seriously, Skurge holding the line at Gjallerbru... Are we going to see that?!
 
What?

Taika Waititi directing. dude made What We Do In The Shadows which was the secret best movie of 2015 plus he worked on Flight of the Conchords and a couple of critically acclaimed films i haven't seen yet. fuck it i'm hyped as hell.
 
First confirmation of Hela, right?

Valkyrie and Grandmaster confirmed too, damn, this movie is going to be interesting for sure.
 
Seriously, which awkward eccentric mad scientist is he playing?

It would fit, coming right after Michael Douglas playing rich successful snob, lol. May be Sean Bean playing an "already dead" badass next?
