Thor: Ragnarok Image Teases Surprise Appearance From This Marvel Superhero

It's been known for some time that Hulk will play a key role in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, but new on-set images suggest that another Marvel hero might also make an appearance. Star Chris Hemsworth has been pictured holding a business card that contains the New York address of a certain Doctor Strange, namely 177A Bleecker St. Check it out, courtesy of Daley Pearson, via Hitfix:

Even though Thor: Ragnarok is shooting in Australia, another image tweeted by Hemsworth showed him and co-star Tom Hiddleston posing in front of a NYC newsstand, increasing speculation that the God of Thunder might encounter Benedict Cumberbatch's mystical Stephen Strange at some point.

While Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo initially described Ragnarok as a "buddy movie," a recent interview with director Taika Waititi suggests that this might not necessarily be the case. "It's hard to say what the movie is because it's changing," he told Polygon. "The plot has changed and the script has changed. There are buddy elements to it between Thor and the Hulk, but who knows what the final movie will look like."

Last month, images were released from the production that revealed the gladiator armor that Hulk will wear in the film. This has reinforced speculation that Thor: Ragnarok will take some inspiration from Planet Hulk, a comic book storyline in which Hulk battled monsters on an alien planet.

The movie stars Hemsworth as Thor, while the impressive cast also includes the likes of Cate Blanchett, Karl Urban, and Jeff Goldblum. Blanchett is known to be playing another villainous character, while Goldblum will portray immortal games-playing Grandmaster.

Doctor Strange is set for release on November 4 this year, while Thor: Ragnarok follows a year later, on November 3, 2017.
