Teaser Trailer for Thor Ragnarok Starring Chris Hemsworth One of my favorite super heroes, Thor, returns to the big screen on November 3 for a third time in Thor: Ragnarok . Chris Hemsworth reprises his role for the film as the titular (and perfectly cast) hero is held prisoner on the planet Sakaar and must do battle with his old friend the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). If Thor wins, he can return to Asgard, which is in peril due to Hela (Cate Blanchett), the ruler of Hel, who plans to destroy the Thunder Gods home world. The supporting cast includes Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.
