All we know for sure about Thor: Ragnarok is that it will feature the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) teaming up with Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and some end-of-days stakes will be involved - everything else we've heard so far has been unconfirmed rumor.
That said, even before all of the speculation we knew there was a very good chance our heroes would be taking on Hela (possibly played by Cate Blanchette), and according to Latino Review those stakes will be raised considerably when she kills one of Thor's best pals, Heimdall (Idris Elba). This makes sense when you consider the fact that Thor had a vision of his friend in the Underworld after his little dip in the fairy pool (or whatever that was supposed to be) in Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
Fans will not be happy to see this character go, but don't worry too much - if this report is accurate, Elba will return as Heimdall later on in the movie when Hela and her army of the dead do battle against the Valkyries from Valhalla and the souls of the righteous fallen, which include the deceased Gatekeeper. Whether he'll be fully resurrected in corporeal form remains to be seen, but this being the MCU it's probably a safe bet at some point down the line.
What do you guys make of this? Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters November 3, 2017.
