We got our first glimpse of The Hulk's Warbound buddy Korg in the last trailer for Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok, and now The Funko POP version of the fan-favorite Planet Hulk character has been officially unveiled.
Korg will be brought to life in the movie by director Taika Waititi, who has previously revealed that the heroic Kronan warrior will have a much larger role in his film than was initially planned.
“Thor meets him on Sakaar and he’s one of the gladiators. He becomes Thor’s mate,” Waititi explained at this year's San Diego Comic Con. “Originally it only started off as a very small role — hey, it wasn’t me, I didn’t do it — but the role’s gotten bigger now.
”
Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Tessa Thompson, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anthony Hopkins and Cate Blanchette, Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3.
