"Thor 3" finally gets a date. According to new reports, Marvel has confirmed that the July 28, 2017 slot will be for "Thor: Ragnarok."
Hitfix reported: "That leaves open the July 28, 2017 date, and now they've moved another film onto that date. That's right... it's 'Thor: Ragnarok.' Feige confirmed that Loki will be returning, and that this is a major piece of the puzzle for the Phase Three films. This is going to be important to not just his story, but the rest of the Marvel Universe as well, picking up directly after the events of 'Age Of Ultron.'
Speculations have been made that "Thor 3" 2017 will feature a well-known character in the comics- Amora the Enchantress. This early, "The Wolf Of Wall Street's" Margot Robbie has been suggested to play the role of the sexy enchantress.
Aside from this possible addition to the movie's powerhouse cast, the third "Thor" movie is said to show Asgard's demise.
According to "Thor 3" rumors on Movie Pilot, Asgard could come to an end because of Chris Hemsworth's Thor as a part of the "apocalyptic comic book story of Ragnarok."
And as if Asgard's demise in "Thor 3" 2017 isn't enough, Ragnarok will reportedly bring an end to the Avengers. Called "Avengers Dissasembled," this new storyline shows the end of the Avengers to introduce a new squad.
As Den of Geek reported:
"Ragnarok is, of course, the mythological "twilight of the gods," and it means the end of important players like, y'know, Thor, Loki, Odin, and Heimdall. But it was also the subject of a particularly excellent comic book story from 2004 by Michael Avon Oeming and Andrea Di Vito. While this comic book Ragnarok blended all manner of mythological elements with Thor's Marvel Comics continuity, there's something crucial to consider about this one, as well: it was part of a much wider Marvel storyline known as "Avengers Disassembled" which, you guessed it, broke up the team so that a new squad could take their place. But it was Thor's departure (and death) in this storyline that really kicked all of that "disassembling" into high gear. So, yes, now it looks like we can add Avengers Disassembled to the stew of comics-influenced movie storylines in the pipe."
