zslane Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's not just Strange's origin story. It is, in a sense, the origin story of "magic" in the MCU beyond what little we've seen in the Thor films. Maybe not so much the origin of magic per se, but Strange's journey from rationalist to sorceror becomes our journey as we learn the nature of magic in the MCU right along with him. I am weary of origin stories too, but I kind of feel this an important one, and an important one to get right for the future of multi-dimensional "magic" in the MCU. bigbywolfe, Lord Liaden, 薔薇語 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not kidding. Seriously, someone near you in the theater will whisper "Where's his wand?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Cate Blanchett Joining 'Thor 3' http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/cate-blanchett-joining-thor-3-847912 My speculation is that she is playing Amora, Remember Loralei is already in the MCU (Agents of Shield episode).

Pattern Ghost Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'd say Amora or Hela are most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hela is the more acceptable candidate at her age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm going with this: - Disney is secretly purchasing Tolkien's properties. Thus, Middle Earth could end up in the Nine Realms. Therefore she is reprising Galadriel. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!! HA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Could also be Karnilla. But I don't think "her age" would be a bar to Amora the Enchantress. She's still a looker. However, given that this is Ragnarok, I'm betting on Hela. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hela is the more acceptable candidate at her age. That's what I was thinking. I could see her pull off Amora, though. The lady's practically a chameleon the way she can change appearance from movie to movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well, the linked article to the Hollywood Reporter says Blanchett is in "final negotiations." Assuming that's a fair assessment, it's Hollywood code for "working out the fine print before signing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hela is a stronger villain than Amora. And it ties in better for "Ragnarok" (and Thanos, most certainly). Christopher R Taylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 It just occurred to me that "Thor Ragnarok" aka "Thor 3 guest starring Hulk" will have both Hulk & Loki in the same film since Avengers. Can only hope for a "puny god" rematch! And having Hulk guest star is a sensible business move as it strengthens the Thor series--which while successful in itself--is less successful when compared to Captain America & Iron Man series. Secondly Hulk as a fan favourite character but IIRC Paramount still has rights to any solo Hulk film so Marvel would need to coordinate with them for any Hulk sequel & a Thor film bypasses this headache. So win-win for Marvel. And anyway, a Hulk-Loki rematch would be enough to sell the movie to fans. 薔薇語 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 And if Hulk makes it to Asgard, precedents say he could be flung from there through space and end up anywhere; which could potentially set up a "Planet Hulk" movie.

Christopher R Taylor Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm thinking next time Loki will be less arrogant and frustrated and more crafty - Hulk is not exactly difficult to fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Now that you mention it, Loki framing the Hulk for an act of destruction, to try to draw Thor into conflict with him, was what prompted the formation of the Avengers in the comics. And Loki has tried to use the Hulk as a pawn on other occasions, in comics and animation. Mind you, that never ends well for Loki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah it would be pretty easy to turn Hulk and Thor against each other, and effectively negate each other while giving some very entertaining fight scenes.
