Thor may not be the most interesting personality in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but he ’s plainly one of its busy , considering that we have n’t seen the god of thunder since the end of Avengers : Age of Ultron . So what , exactly , has he been up to ?
Whenlast we see the Odinson , he was explain to Tony Stark and Captain America what should have already been glaringly obvious to them : someone is trying to accomplish something involving the Infinity Stones . You ’d think that after having dealt with the Tesseract ( the Space Stone ) and the Mind Stone that was hidden in Loki ’s faculty before becoming a part of the Vision , the Avengers might have asked themselves , “ What ’s up with all these MacGuffins , man ? ” And yet , they did not .
In a surprising instant of genial clarity ( no doubt enliven by his encounter with the Reality Stone in Thor : The Dark World ) , Thor teleports into space to investigate what the hell has been decease on in the cosmic sections of Marvel ’s Cinematic Universe . Thor ’s absence from Captain America : Civil War advise that he was a scrap too busybodied to be get at with Steve and Tony ’s tiff , but with newfangled info pouring out from the set of Thor : Ragnarok , we ’ve got a pretty solid melodic theme of just what Thor ’s been up to . turn out , he ’s been traveling . A bunch .
check the teaser and dawdler for Ragnarok , it ’s easy to get a small bit mixed-up attempt to estimate out just when and where everything make place in the picture show ’s story — especially in relation to all the other thing find in the MCU.According toRagnarok producer Brad Winderbaum , the movie takes place roughly around the same fourth dimension as Civil War and Spider - Man : Homecoming . turn out , Thor ’s been busy traveling through space , hunting for the person he suspects is impart all of the Infinity Stones together . His quest eventually leads to his being enamor in Muspelheim , a torrid realm that ’s one of nine controlled by the demon Surtur .
Production designer Dan Hannah key Muspelheim as a Dyson sphere - similar construct that ’s build around a dying star — the source of the land ’s Department of Energy .
Much like his friend from oeuvre , the Hulk ’s been away traveling for some time when Ragnarok picks up . But while Thor ’s been off galavanting on his own , the Hulk was apparently flung into the far reach of space thanks toa conveniently placed wormhole .
In his final Age of Ultron scene , the Hulk is aboard a quinjet by himself that flies off into the sky despite Black Widow ’s demands he return . It ’s casually hint that the quinjet might have dash , but Ragnarok excuse that before long after making it into blank , the aircraft was gobbled up by a wormhole and skewer out somewhere near Sakaar , the gladiator major planet controlled by the Grandmaster .
finally , Thor make it off Muspelheim and back to Asgard where he reunite with Odin , who is actually Thor ’s brother Loki in disguise . Loki took their father ’s place at the last of Thor : The Dark World and , presumptively , has beenimpersonating him ever since .
While Loki ’s been enjoying his time as a false Billie Jean King , though , he ’s also learned that there was much more to Odin ’s province than the Allfather led anyone to believe , and Loki is n’t outfit to make do with the menace that his father once treat .
Long distance relationships are unmanageable to maintain , and the one between Thor and Jane Foster is no elision . Part of the understanding the pair split is because Natalie Portman bowed out of the MCU , but within the logic of the movies themselves , you ’ve got to think of that Thor and Jane sound historic period without really seeing or hearing from one another .
By the time Ragnarok fully kick into gear , Thor ’s something of a free agent , butaccording toChris Hemsworth , the movie will have some “ goodly fun ” explain how Thor and Jane ’s human relationship met its destruction .
Thor : Ragnarok polish off theaters November 3 .
