And yes, I misspelled Ragnarok, can a mod fix that please?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

DUDE.

I was just thinking about Goldblum yesterday in the MCU. As a cosmic being!

Edit:

I was thinking just yesterday about how I want Goldblum in the MCU.

Get him to play a cosmic being.

WTF.

I am a god.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

WTF?!

 

[S1kkZ]

oh boy.

 

[Sephzilla]

But I want Goldblum to be Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man!!

 

[strafer]

 

[Anung]

What. That cast is too good for this.

 

[guek]

Karl Urban as Balder?

So much for the Goldblum as JJJ fan casting

edit: oh, Skurge

 

[BlueTsunami]

Yesyesyes.gif

Sounds like they're tryna makeup for the weakest MCU thread

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Are we going to get THAT scene with Skurge? On Gjallerbru?

Holy shit!

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I hope they knock it out of the park, the 1st 2 weren't anything to write home about.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Hopefully they're used right.

 

[Tom Nook]

and

Judge Dredd!!!!!

 

[Choppasmith]

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!

 

[Sheroking]

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.

 

[LiK]

Well there it is

 

[tearsofash]

I LOVE JEFF GOLDBLUM.

 

[Davey Cakes]

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.

 

[kurahador]

Based Feige!!

 

[guek]

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

 

[Orbis Tabula]

God, I just heard someone say "Goldblum needs to be in the MCU." 2spooky

 

[-griffy-]

Marvel is NOT fucking around with casting their new movies.

Also

 

[jelly]

Damn fine casting.

 

[Nibel]

That's a great cast right there.

So guess I'll watch a third Thor movie after all

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sploosh

 

[harSon]

Wait, Tessa Thompson is Valkyrie?

omg

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Yooooooo

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Will we see goldblum do a vinegar stroke in the film?

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

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.

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?!

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Since the other thread seems like it'll die, I'll repeat that I'm till crossing my fingers for Beta Ray Bill

 

[number11]

Wow. Marvel has always been great with casting. But with this and Doctor Strange, they've taken it to the next level.

 

[Secret Character]

Grandmaster pretty much confirms that Thanos will probably be starting his rampage in this movie.

Can't wait!

 

[Blade30]

What?

Damn. Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and now Jeff Goldblum with Karl Urban attached to Ragnarok? (I think there was someone else I missed? )
This movie is shaping up great.

 

[Sou Da]

Starting Jeff Goldblum as: The Pullout King

 

[ironcreed]

Thumbs up for both.

 

[guek]

Marvel is NOT fucking around with casting their new movies.

The MCU just crossed $10 BILLION worldwide BO line. This is the most successful franchise in the history of film.

It's good to be the King.

 

[Trojita]

Awesome

 

[The Last One]

In case the reviews of the movie are bad:

 

[SliceSabre]

I swear this movie better make good use of Goldblum.

 

[kris.]

hot damn i like this. i like this so much. this is gonna be a legitimately great thor movie.

What?

Damn. Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and now Jeff Goldblum with Karl Urban? (I think there was someone else I missed? )
This movie is shaping up great.

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.

 

[Bold One]

 

[Nokagi]

Damn that's a nice looking cast. Can't wait to see what they do with it.

 

[slightconfuse]

Karl Urban yesss

 

[BotoxAgent]

Thor movies seems to be the only one with decent villains

 

[enzo_gt]

First confirmation of Hela, right?

Valkyrie and Grandmaster confirmed too, damn, this movie is going to be interesting for sure.

 

[F0rneus]

Valkyrie! Skurge! Hela! Grandmaster!

Holy fucking shit HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

 

[Anung]

Karl Urban yesss

Hopefully Marvel gets the rights back to Dredd so we can get a new movie!

 

[Skellig Gra]

Certainly sounds like a step up from Thor 2.

 

[massoluk]

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?

 

[Fandangox]

Well, there it is.
