'Thor: Ragnarok' is an upcoming dark fantasy-action film based on the Marvel comic book character of the same name. Mark Ruffalo called the sequel a "buddy movie" that involves a lot of fighting between his Hulk and Chris Hemsworth's Thor. Paul Bettany's Vision is rumored to make an appearance.
Ruffalo shared some insight on what to expect for the next installment in the God of Thunder's adventures. He said in an interview with the New York Daily News, "I don't really know that much about it, but I think it's going to be a buddy picture with Thor and Bruce Banner." He added that it is likely there will be fighting involved saying, "There's no doubt, everyone wants us to fight at one point."
The 47-year old actor debuted as Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk in the 2012 film 'Avengers'. His Hulk also made subsequent cameos in 'Iron Man 3' and 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'. So far, there has been no plans for a standalone film with his version of Hulk.
'Thor: Ragnarok' will take place in a "distant planet" and not Asgard or Earth. Some speculation that emerged suggested that this "distant planet" would probably be Planet Hulk.
According to Super Hero Hype, Hulk was last seen in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' as avoiding his team to live a life of isolation when his jet crashed in the ocean. It was suggested that Hulk could have gone two ways - swam all the way to Fiji, or headed to outer space.
It is likely that Hulk isn't the only surprise addition to the all-star ensemble of superheroes. According to /Film, the chances of Paul Bettany's Vision making an appearance in the upcoming film are high and would make perfect sense. It was speculated that if Hulk becomes a menace, Vision has the means to stop him.
'Thor: Ragnarok' is an upcoming action-fantasy film scheduled to be released on November 3, 2017. It is directed by Taika Waititi of 'Boy' and 'Two Cars, One Night' fame. It is the third film in the 'Thor' series, and is the fifth film in Phase Three of the MCU.
