Comic ListerAugust 9, 2016News

Though Mark Ruffalo recently wrapped his part on Thor: Ragnarok, Tom Hiddleston is still on the set and back in the garb of the God of Mischief. Hiddleston shared an image on his Instagram of him in costume which you can check out below, along with a photo from Marvel Studios co-president Louis D’Esposito with director Taika Waititi.

Thor: Ragnarok will feature the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder himself, with Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Sir Anthony Hopkins again portraying Odin. Cate Blanchett plays the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, Jeff Goldblum stars as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban will add his might to the fray as Skurge.

 Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee. The screenplay hails from Stephany Folsom, Craig Kyle, Eric Pearson and Christopher Yost. Current plans call for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Phase Three” chapter to shoot until October, although production could feasibly continue through the end of the year.

Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok will smash its way into theaters on November 3, 2017.
