THOR: RAGNAROK Director Taika Waititi Confirms That We Will Visit The Planet Sakaar In The Movie
Probably not a huge surprise considering we already knew Thor: Ragnarok would borrow from the "Planet Hulk" comic arc, but it's now been officially confirmed that Sakaar will feature in the threequel...
We've known for some time now that Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok would utilize elements of the Planet Hulk storyline, and most of us figured that would mean a trip to Sakaar where we'd find the Green Goliath engaged in gladiatorial combat.
Though this was purely an assumption, director Taika Waititi has now confirmed that we will indeed see The God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) reconnect with Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) on that very planet during a new interview with Total Film.
You can check out the scanned image for yourselves (via MCU Exchange) below. It remains to be seen how much of the Planet Hulk arc carries over to the film of course, but fans will be hoping for appearances from the likes of The Red King, and the future Mrs. Hulk, Caeira the Oldstrong.
Thor: Ragnarok is set to hit theaters on November 3, 2017.
