'Thor: Ragnarok' Writer Confirms Many, Many Characters Will Die in Third 'Thor' Film- But Which Ones?

By

"Thor 3" may well be the last solo "Thor" film starring Chris Hemsworth (afterwards, what happens? Does Marvel recast the role? Introduce a female Thor, like in the comics? Abandon the property entirely?). Not only that, but the film's official title is "Thor: Ragnarok," a reference to one of the most important storylines in all of Thor comicdom, about the apocalyptic destruction of Thor's world and all that he holds dear.

Which means one thing above all- characters are going to die. Lots of them.

It's not just the fans saying that- it's the people in charge of "Thor: Ragnarok" as well. Christopher Yost, who wrote "Thor: The Dark World" and will write the upcoming "Ragnarok," recently tweeted the following:

"Ragnarok is the end of all things. What are we supposed to do, let people live?!"

That does not bode well for the denizens of Asgard.

The Examiner speculates that "Thor: Ragnarok" could effectively "wipe the slate clean" as far as Thor's presence in the Marvel Universe- potentially giving Marvl Studios the opportunity to shape the character's future however they want- with our with Chris Hemsworth.

Meanwhile, Cinema Blend has ranked all the major Thor characters in order of least likely to die, to most likely to die. Here's what they've come up with.

Loki

Thor

Lady Sif

Odin

Jane Foster

Heimdall

The Warriors Three

Cinema Blend's justification being that they're always in battle and they're not that important, making them the perfect fodder to get torn to pieces by a fire demon and setting Thor on a crazed rampage.

What do you think? Do you have a particular character you think is on the chopping block in "Thor: Ragnarok?" Think that Marvel might actually "wipe the slate clean," and just get rid of everyone? A franchise-wide apocalypse? We'll find out soon enough. Well, in a couple of years, anyway- "Thor: Ragnarok" isn't set to release until 2017.
