Thor appears to be in good hands, at least in the humor department. Fans have griped that the last two standalone Thor films tried too hard to be funny and as a result, there were very few laughs. Perhaps Taikia will be the director to strike the right balance between comedy and action?
Thor: Ragnarok opens in theaters on November 3, 2017. Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost penned the first draft of the script. Stephany Folsom was hired to rework their draft.
The cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Tessa Thompson, Mark Ruffalo and Cate Blanchet. Natalie Portman and Jaimie Alexander are rumored to not be reprising their roles as Jane Foster and Lady Sif. Filming is expected to begin in June.
