Thor: Ragnarok (2017) is a superhero film directed by Taika Waititi, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the God of Thunder, who finds himself imprisoned on the planet Sakaar, far from his home of Asgard. Stripped of his powerful hammer, Mjolnir, Thor must find a way to escape and prevent the prophesied Ragnarok—the destruction of Asgard and the end of its civilization.

On Sakaar, Thor is forced into gladiatorial combat and unexpectedly reunites with his fellow Avenger, the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who has been living as the planet’s champion warrior. With the help of the Hulk, the Valkyrie warrior (Tessa Thompson), and his mischievous brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Thor must confront the powerful and vengeful Hela (Cate Blanchett), the Goddess of Death, who has taken over Asgard and seeks to extend her reign across the cosmos.

“Thor: Ragnarok” is celebrated for its vibrant visuals, humor, and departure from the darker tones of its predecessors. Director Taika Waititi infuses the film with a unique blend of comedy and action, creating a fresh and entertaining take on the superhero genre. The film’s dynamic performances, particularly Hemsworth’s charismatic portrayal of Thor and Blanchett’s menacing Hela, alongside its memorable soundtrack and epic battles, have made it a standout entry in the MCU.
