Who Are The Revengers In ‘Thor: Ragnarok’? Featurette Released

Marvel Studios is following up last year’s epic superhero team up in Captain America: Civil War with another group of Avengers uniting to save Asgard.

But with a villain and a newcomer joining their side in Thor: Ragnarok, the new team is (jokingly) going by another moniker: The Revengers. And to commemorate this new group of heroes, Marvel is showcasing the members with a brand new featurette. Take a look in the clip above!

Just like in Marvel’s first big crossover film, each individual shares similar goals when they decide to team up, and they all want to take down the Goddess of Death known as Hela (Cate Blanchett).

But even though they all have something in common, they are very, very different.


Find out a little bit more about Thor, Valkyrie, Loki, and Hulk below and learn why they make the perfect team to stop Hela’s destruction of Asgard.

Thor

The man with the plan (or, rather, the man who is making it up as he goes), the Mighty Thor is the Worthy wielder of Mjolnir and the heir to the throne of Asgard.

But after the events of Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Age of Ultron, he knows something strange is going down.

Loki has deposed and impersonated his father, and an unseen force (*cough*Thanos*cough*) is manipulating the Avengers behind the scenes in order to obtain the Infinity Stones. His quest to discover the source of the problems leads back to Loki, who has inadvertently released Hela from imprisonment.

“In this film, the threat for Thor is to prevent Ragnarok from occurring,” says Chris Hemsworth. “Thor has certainly met his match and he needs help.”

After suffering an initial defeat at Hela’s hands, Thor is cast off to Sakaar and forced to find his way back to Asgard. Luckily, he just so happens to have an angry ally nearby…

Hulk

After the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Banner was mentally broken and Hulk wasn’t in a much better place. A rare moment of unity, the two personalities made the decision to leave Earth behind.

And now, Hulk is fighting in the gladiatorial pits on Sakaar, much to the amusement of the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum).

Actor Mark Ruffalo teased an interesting Hulk/Banner dynamic in the new film, revealing his excitement to return to the role in the new film.

“I get to play two totally different characters in this movie, which is really fun,” says Ruffalo. “The Hulk nature and the Banner nature, the peaceful and the warrior. There’s no one without the other.”

After a big battle in the pits, Hulk and Thor team up to save Asgard. But they recruit a mysterious ally in the process.

Valkyrie

Though she hails from Asgard, Valkyrie hasn’t been to her homeland in quite some time. Instead, she works for the Grandmaster and helps him procure new fighters for the pits, which is where she met Thor.

But Thor manages to sway her to fight with him once they realize their common enemy in Hela.

“Valkyrie is one of many elite warriors,” says Thompson. “She meets Thor and Banner, or Hulk, and she becomes a part of their team.”

Though we’re not sure how exactly Valkyrie comes to be employed by the Grandmaster, the trailers and clips released thus far make it seem like its a result of a confrontation with Hela.

Quick shots show Valkyrie and her allies descending upon Hela, followed by the army falling from their pegasus. So after that defeat, it’s safe to say she’s up for some revenging.

Loki

While Loki (Tom Hiddleston) might not think fondly of his brother, his father, or Asgard in general, he did have a good thing for a while.

After the events of Thor: The Dark World, Loki hid Odin away and impersonated his father as the king of Asgard.

But Odin’s absence eventually lead to Hela’s reemergence, and she disposes of Thor and Loki rather quickly.

While Loki is at first a guest of the Grandmaster, watching his brother and Hulk go at it in the pits, he soon gets on his bad side and is chained up in his room. Thor, Valkyrie, and Banner end up taking him into the fold, though their reasons for trusting a traitor are unclear at this point.

We’ll learn more about the Revengers and the circumstances of their team up when Thor: Ragnarok premieres in theaters on November 3.
