***THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THOR: RAGNAROK.***
***READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!***
THOR: RAGNAROK is one of the most anticipated sequels coming in 2017. And with 2016 coming to a close, we rounded up many of the THOR: RAGNAROK rumors from the past year and put them together in this post.
- The movie will have a serious tone with little moments of humor, like “The Winter Soldier”, which is being used as a template.
- Loki is the one that sends Hulk to the gladiator planet where Thor later ends up, Valkyrie is also a warrior in that planet and befriends Thor, but they don’t actually become a couple although there’s a spark between them.
- Jane Foster is not referenced at all in the script.
- Thor, Hulk and Valkyrie have to find the Soul Gem in order to defeat Loki and Hela, who has helped Loki usurp the throne, but is also planning to destroy the Nine Realms in the Ragnarok.
- Loki is eventually betrayed by Hela and helps Thor defeat her, but then betrays him as well and gives the Soul Gem to Thanos, as well as the location of the other Infinity Stones, for his own protection when Thanos launches his offensive on the universe.
- Skurge is Hela’s champion, but he follows her under false pretenses, and turns against her when he finds out what her true plans are, holding off her armies alone at the cost of his own life to give Thor a chance.
- Surtur and the Fenris Wolf will appear, among others.
- Odin has been living as a vagrant on Earth ever since Loki usurped the throne and banished him. He gets his full power back in the final scene to battle the Ragnarok monsters.
- Sif, the Warriors Tree and Heimdall are returning. Heimdall dies.
- Doctor Strange will have a cameo. [Bullet points via ScreenGeek.]

"Since our initial report of Ruffalo appearing as Hulk in the film we’ve heard rumors of how the story will play out and just how 'Planet Hulk' the film will be. Well, here’s what we know: The film will definitely have the Planet Hulk element in it, operating as a kind of mash-up with the Ragnarok story. How Thor ends up on the planet in question is unclear, but he will definitely be involved in some gladiatorial games run by none other than Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster. In terms of Hulk’s appearance in this portion of the film, he will be rocking the one-shoulder armor as seen in the comics, so expect him to be decked out in the familiar Planet Hulk look."

“According to LR’s sources about the developing THOR: RAGNAROK story, Hela will take Asgard and, Thor attempts to stop her. Hela lays the smackdown on the God of Thunder, destroying his hammer and straight up murdering Thor’s friend Heimdall (Idris Elba).
“But don’t worry, Elba won’t bow out of the MCU so easily. The final showdown with Hela will feature an army of the dead commanded by the villainess doing battle with good Valkyries from Valhalla and the souls of the righteous fallen, including Heimdall.” [Via LRN.]
