Comic-Con 2016: ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Is Partly ‘Planet Hulk’?

On the Marvel stage yesterday, a set of props appeared, “direct” from the set of Thor: Ragnarok. Marvel Vice President Ryan Penagos instagrammed a photo of those props, and why, yes, they looks suspiciously like costuming that the Hulk wore in the graphic novel classic [amazon text=Planet Hulk&asin=0785120122].

It’s Gladiator Hulk, and if you’re wondering why they’d need armor props for a CG character… um… shut up. It looks cool. We know that the movie has a plot much more Thor-centric than Planet Hulk, but maybe it’s setting something up that Marvel can revisit and expand. Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. I mean, you would think that fans would be satisfied just with Thor facing down Hela (Cate Blanchett) but you know us, we always want more.

Thor: Ragnarok is directed by Taiki Waititi ([amazon text=What We Do in the Shadows&asin=B00ZA9SVU2]) and scheduled for a November 4, 2017 release.
