Thor: Ragnarok

The 2017 American superhero film directed by Taika Waititi serves as a sequel to "Thor" (2011) and "Thor: The Dark World" (2013), marking the seventeenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The narrative follows Thor (Chris Hemsworth), who, after being defeated by the goddess of death Hela (Cate Blanchett), finds himself imprisoned on the planet Sakaar without his hammer, Mjolnir. There, he encounters the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum), the planet's ruler, and is forced to participate in gladiatorial contests, facing off against the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), his former ally. Meanwhile, Hela seizes control of Asgard and prepares for Ragnarok—the prophesied apocalypse leading to the destruction of the gods' realm. Thor teams up with Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), and the Hulk to return to Asgard and thwart Hela's plans. The film blends elements of comedy, fantasy, and science fiction, exploring themes of familial bonds, betrayal, and sacrifice. The cast also includes Idris Elba as Heimdall, Karl Urban as Skurge, and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.
