Jeff Goldblum Reveals How He's Preparing To Play The Grandmaster In THOR: RAGNAROK
It looks like Jeff Goldblum is ready to shoot his role in Thor: Ragnarok, as the actor has taken to social media today to reveal how he's preparing to play The Grandmaster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Very little is known about what Jeff Goldblum will bring to the table as The Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok, though descriptions of concept art shown at this year's Comic-Con pointed to him not having the blue skin of his comic book counterpart. Regardless of his appearance though, the actor took to Instagram today to show that he's preparing for the role by - what else? - reading comic books.
The issue in question here is The Mighty Thor #374, a story titled "Fires of the Night!" While The Grandmaster didn't appear, Hela had a central role in it, and it will be interesting to see if this is an indication that the two characters are going to end up interacting. Rumour has it that Goldblum's character will be in charge of the gladiatorial arena that Thor and The Hulk end up in though...
