'Thor 3 Ragnarok' First Glimpse At Supervillain Thanos; Surtur Vs Hulk Teased

Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of "Thor 3 Ragnarok" in 2017. While fans are interested to see what the god of thunder has up his sleeve in his third solo flick, many are also interested to see the other pivotal characters involved in the movie.

For starters, reports have already confirmed that Mark Ruffalo's The Hulk will be joining "Thor 3 Ragnarok." Apart from the Avenger joining in the Asgardian fun, many are also excited to see Tom Hiddleston return as Thor's sinister brother, Loki.

But perhaps one of the highly anticipated scenes in "Thor 3 Ragnarok" is the reported appearance of the MCU supervillain Thanos. Director Taika Waititi recently gave a sneak peek at the purple baddie in an Instagram post.

"Thor is investigating who is after the infinity stones," the "Thor 3 Ragnarok" director captioned the photo. The poorly drawn version of Thanos first was actually a still from the upcoming flick's Comic-Con first glimpse which highlighted Thor's whereabouts during the events of "Captain America: Civil War."

Apart from the funny short movie, fans also had the first glimpse at behind-the-scenes footages and concept art. But perhaps one of the most exciting thing about "Thor 3 Ragnarok" is the scene that featured Thor and Hulk in full armor (similar to Planet Hulk), and the part where Hulk was seen "jumping at" a giant beast that could possibly be the rumored antagonist in "Thor 3 Ragnarok," fire giant Surtur.

Marvel describes the "Thor 3 Ragnarok" villain as "an enormous fiery demon native to the dimension of Asgard. Possessed of evil intelligence and vast power, Surtur was one of the major elemental forces of evil that the Asgardians feared. He was a mystical being whose existence predated that of Odin himself. Over 1,000 feet tall and wielding a huge fiery sword, he was once imprisoned by Odin at the Earth's core. Along with Ymir the Frost Giant and the Midgard Serpent, Surtur was the most powerful of Asgard's native enemies."

"Surtur has been freed from imprisonment a few times over the years. The first time the Asgardian god of mischief Loki set Surtur free to wreak havok on Earth."

"Thor 3 Ragnarok" opens November 3, 2017. Stay tuned for more updates here!
