Thor: Ragnarok trailer released as Asgardian hero battles Hulk in dramatic Marvel showdown

MARVEL have just unleashed the epic trailer for Thor: Ragnarok and it looks like their most action packed movie so far.

The highly anticipated flick - out in October - will pitch Thor Vs Hulk in an outer-space showdown that’s partly based on the iconic Planet Hulk comic book.

The trailer also gives a first-look at the return of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki who was last seen taking the throne of Odin after being killed off during Thor: The Dark World.

Fans won’t be surprised to know that the trailer gives little to none explanation. Where’s Odin? How did Loki survive? Just two of the many questions Marvel fanatics will now be asking.

The trailer opens with Thor in chains, perhaps held captive by Cate Blanchett’s villain, Hela, who manages to crush Thor’s supposedly indestructible hammer, Mjolnir.

This scene looks like it takes place back on Earth and with Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange helping Thor locate his father, the most likely scenario is that it's happening within the opening scenes.  Why else would Thor need to return to earth?

Chaos begins when Hela wages war on Asgard and Thor is soon blasted off to another planet where he’s taken prisoner and sent to Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster.
