He is captured by Surtur, who is a fire demon. Surtur tells Thor that his father, Odin, is not on Asgard anymore. Surtur also mentions that destruction is coming due to the prophecy of the Ragnar\u00f6k. Thor believes Surtur to be the Ragnar\u00f6k, and defeats him and takes his crown. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thor then returns to Asgard and finds his brother Loki, in the place of Odin. Thor forces Loki to help him find Odin. With the help of Stephen Strange on Earth, they discover that Odin is located in Norway. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they arrive there, they find out that Odin is dying and that his firstborn daughter, Hela will be released from her prison once he dies. After Odin dies, Hela appears and begins to wreak havoc on Asgard. Unable to defeat Hela, Thor and Loki escape on a ship and crash land on the planet Sakaar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Thor and Loki are discovered by Scrapper 142, they are taken to the commander of the planet.

With the help of Loki, Scrapper 142 and the Hulk, Thor goes against Hela in battle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the fifth time that Chris Hemsworth has played the character Thor. In this new film, they decided to change Thor\u2019s appearance by giving him a short haircut and a different style of clothes. Another unique thing about Thor in this film is that he does not have his hammer, the Mjolnir. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the movie, we pick up on the Hulk on the planet Sakaar. He has become a successful gladiator, and is popular among the people. The Hulk escapes with Thor and they arrive at the planet Quinjet. It is there that the Hulk sees a recording of Natasha Romanoff and transforms back into his human form. This is the first time that he has been in his human form since Sokovia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The rest of the main cast includes, Tom Hiddleston as \u201cLoki,\u201d Cate Blanchett as \u201cHela,\u201d Jeff Goldblum as \u201cGrandmaster,\u201d Tessa Thompson as \u201cValkyrie,\u201d Karl Urban as \u201cSkurge,\u201d Mark Ruffalo as \u201cBruce Banner\/Hulk,\u201d and Anthony Hopkins as \u201cOdin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThor: Ragnar\u00f6k\u201d follows the timeline of the previous Thor movies, as well as the timeline in the \u201cAvengers\u201d movies.
