10) “It’s A Long Story…”
We’ve known for a while that Thor: Ragnarok would be a very different film from the previous entries in the franchise. With talented indie comedy director Taika Waititi at the helm, it was looking likely that it’d be a lot more fun, irreverent and prone to thinking outside the box.
Well, the trailer makes that clear from the off. It starts with Thor in a pretty bad place, chained up and dangling over a volcanic terrain. “I know what you are thinking,” he tells us.”‘How did this happen?’ Well, it’s a long story…”
We’d imagine that this is the start of the movie, too. If it is, it’d make for a fun, new structure for a Marvel film, and also a cheeky piece of fourth-wall breaking at the same time. Or, alternatively, this scene could just be being used out of context, with Thor recounting his troubles to another character. Possibly Hulk? We’ll have to wait and see, I guess.
