When the full cast of Thor: Ragnarok was announced back in the spring, fans were confused when there was no mention of the God of Thunder’s trusty companions, the Warriors Three. While not the most important characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they did play a fairly significant part in both Thor and Thor: The Dark World, which led us to believe they’d be back for thirds.
Turns out that we were right, as despite not being included in the official cast announcement, we will indeed be seeing the Warriors Three in Thor: Ragnarok. How do we know this? Well, both Ray Stevenson and Tadanobu Asano have been spotted down on the Australia set, while Zachary Levi hinted during Comic-Con that he’d have a few scenes in the film.
It’d be easy to see Marvel not having room for the Warriors Three in Ragnarok, given all of the new characters joining the mix, like Cate Blanchett’s Hela and Karl Urban’s Skurge, among others, so we’re happy to see that they’re probably going to be included here. We say probably because this hasn’t been confirmed just yet by Marvel, but given what we know, we’re feeling pretty confident that they’ll show up in the film.
The only concern we have is that their inclusion may cause the movie to feel a bit overcrowded, but we’re hoping that the studio and director Taika Waititi have found a smart way to work them into the plot without running the risk of having too much going on at once.
Thor: Ragnarok arrives in theatres on November 3rd, 2017.
