| Rumor: How Hulk Joins Thor On Cosmic Journey In ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ |
 |

Remember how there was a rumor that said that Hulk would be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and that the plot of the film would be based on the “Planet Hulk” story arc? Well, James Gunn repeatedly denied those rumors, which were pretty much debunked when Mark Ruffalo signed on to join Chris Hemsworth in Thor: Ragnarok, the final film of the titular trilogy. In what has been described as a buddy film which would feature the two Avengers who go on a cosmic journey, there were questions on how Hulk would actually meet up with the god of thunder considering that he left the Avengers after the events of Age of Ultron. It appears that there may be an answer to that question, which leads us back to how Marvel would incorporate a “Planet Hulk” story arc into the MCU. We have to stress that the following should be considered a rumor, and we are going to treat it as such until we get something substantial from a confirmed source. Again, if you are interested in spoilers, then feel free to check out more about this rumor below.

| Rumor: Cate Blanchett To Play Villainous God Hela In ‘Thor: Ragnarok?’ |
 |

Marvel has been known to draw in some huge star power in the past. Robert Redford, Benicio Del Toro, and Michael Douglas were all unexpected names that have been a part of the MCU in Phase 2. Phase 3 will see Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor in Doctor Strange. We pretty much know what their roles are, but Cate Blanchett‘s role in Thor: Ragnarok has yet to be revealed. The Oscar-winning actress joined the cast of the film just last month, but details on her character were kept under wraps. The film has been described as a buddy movie that will have the titular Thor join Hulk on a cosmic journey that will take audiences through the nine realms. But that still didn’t answer where Blanchett fits into all of this. Well, there is a new rumor floating around that says Blanchett will play a villain in the film. But will she be a huge problem for Thor and Hulk, or does she serve a greater purpose in the MCU. Check out what the rumors have to say below.

| Cate Blanchett To Join Marvel Universe In ‘Thor: Ragnarok’
After being nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Carol earlier today, Cate Blanchett looks to be jumping from the awards contenders and into another big franchise. It’s being reported that Blanchett has entered into negotiations to star in the third movie in Marvel’s Thor series, Thor: Ragnarok. Which character Blanchett would be taking on in her first superhero/comic book movie role if a deal gets worked out is not yet known, only that it will be one of the new female leads. It’s also not yet known if the role would be specifically for Ragnarok or if it’s a character that will branch out into future Marvel movies such as the two-part Avengers: Infinity War.

| Chris Hemsworth Wants ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ To Be Just As Funny As ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ |
 |

Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe saw Thor as a complete fish-out-of-water. The film, which was directed by Kenneth Branagh, can be considered the funniest of the Phase One. However, the sequel to the character’s solo franchise lived up to its title by taking a dark turn in Thor: The Dark World. The film still maintain its more fantastical aspects, but it was a little strange not to see Thor react strangely to human customs. And it seems that film star Chris Hemsworth agrees. Whether or not people would have been tired of that trope or if Marvel purposefully wanted The Dark World to lack humor is not clear. But what is clear is that some of the cast wants to bring the funny back. In a new interview, the actor talks about how Thor: Ragnarok could use a “little dose” of Guardians of the Galaxy to bring back the humor and comedy that the first film was known for. Check out Hemsworth’s full comments on what he liked to see in the Thor sequel below.
