In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Mark Ruffalo name-checked hilarious '80s flick Midnight Run when desribing the dynmamic between his Bruce Banner and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) as they zip around the Nine Realms. “There’s a little bit of Midnight Run, with [Charles] Grodin and [Robert] De Niro,” said Ruffalo. "I feel like that’s kind of where we’re heading with this relationship between Thor and Banner.” Sounds like we can expect a bit of squabbling! Ruffalo was then asked to elaborate on his earlier revelation that Thor: Ragnarok would be a road movie. “It is a universal road movie – that’s where we’re heading,” he explained. “It’s not where you'd think it will be, so it’s not your classic road movie but it has that structure, I think."

Ruffalo then went on to talk about what we could expect from the highly anticipated team-up between Thor and Hulk. "I love Chris [Hemsworth], and it’s not an accident that we’ve been put together because we have a good time together and we goof off. The fact that we’re moving towards the smart-comedic bent plays into our relationship.” Ruffalo was then asked if he was looking forward to visiting Asgard, Thor's home world. “[Am I looking forward to that?] Hells, yeah,” replied Ruffalo excitingly. What do you think about Ruffalo's comments? Are you excited to see Thor: Ragnarok explore the Nine Realms?
