Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok – The Art of the Movie doesn’t release until November, but the full cover for the book has been released in all its stylish glory. The cover was created by the talented Andy Park and features most of the cast from Ragnarok amidst the flames of Surtur.
Cate Blanchett’s Hela takes center stage on the front cover, with Thor, Hulk, and Loki seen in the wash of orange light behind her. We seriously cannot say enough how amazing this character looks, and she is just as fantastic on this cover. More Hela is always a good thing.
The back cover puts Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie in the spotlight, with the city of Asgard in flames behind her. Odin, Heimdall, the Grandmaster, Korg, Miek, and Skurge can be seen as well, with the mighty Surtur looming over all of them.
On its own the piece is beautiful, but fans can find even more in the full art book when it releases later this year, which will include behind-the-scenes photos, exclusive concept art, and interviews.
You can find the official description for the book below:
