First up is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, featuring the adorable Baby Groot. Then, teaming up with Sony, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is getting his own film, Homecoming, featuring an extended cameo from Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man.
Last, but certainly not least, comes Thor: Ragnarok, the third - and likely final - film centred on the Asguardian warrior. Recently, it was confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will appear in the film as Doctor Strange, alongside Thor, Loki, and the Hulk.
Now, we finally have a plot synopses and official photo, confirming how the story will be influenced by the infamous Planet Hulk storyline.
Thor: Ragnarok plot synopses
“In Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok – the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization – at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Incredible Hulk!”
Playing the villain Hela is two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett, while Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Hopkins will reprise their roles from previous Marvel films.
Alongside Blanchett, new cast members include Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson and Karl Urban, as well as Sam Neill, who will reportedly have a minor role.
Directed by Hunt for the Wilderpeople’s Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok reaches cinemas 3 November 2017.
