MORE THOR

Are you ready to get hammered? We all are, really. And now there’s a bit more Thor out there for us to, uh, MARVEL at.

Yeah, we said it.

HAMMER TIME

MovieWeb tells us all about it:

This Thor: Ragnarok TV spot mostly uses a lot of quick shots that we’ve seen in previous trailers. However, we do hear, via voiceover, and even see just a little bit of Odin. Though, he’s got his back turned to Thor, so we don’t actually get a good look at him. But he’s here, and that’s the important thing. Given where things left off at the end of Thor: The Dark World, it’ll be interesting to see how Odin is handled this time around. Especially since not much has been revealed about him in the movie up to this point.

During production, via some set photos featuring Anthony Hopkins, and in thanks to the post-credits scene from Doctor Strange, we know that Odin winds up being banished to New York City for some reason. This leads Thor and Loki to try and find him, which leads to them getting an assist from The Sorcerer Supreme himself. Prior to this choice bit of footage, that’s about all we knew regarding Odin in Thor: Ragnarok. So, even though this doesn’t give us a lot, it is significant.

Marvel has really ramped up the promotional campaign for Thor: Ragnarok lately and with good reason. The first round of reviews for the movie have been insanely positive, as the movie currently boasts a 98 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. For those keeping track, that’s the best for any Marvel Studios movie to date, which is very impressive. That could, and likely will change as more reviews for the movie pour in but it’s clear that Marvel Studios and director Taika Waititi made a crowd-pleasing movie. And it’s likely going to pay off in a big way.
