'Thor 3: Ragnarok' Will Be 'Pretty Big;' Release Date Moved To 2018, Picks Up Where 'Avengers 2' Left Off

Despite getting bumped off its original release date, "Thor 3: Ragnarok" plot news continue to excite fans of what can possibly happen next.

Multiple online sources have already confirmed that the 3rd movie will use the Ragnarok plot which entails the total destruction of Asgard and eventually the death of notable characters including Thor himself.

However, a new report focuses on the reason why the Ragnarok occurred.

"The backstory features Thor inheriting the Odinpower after Odin basically dies during a battle with the fire demon Surtur. Puffed up with this power, Thor goes a little bit crazy, extending the rule of Asgard to rule of Earth, and spends a couple hundred years as an all-powerful and not-at-all cool deity. Eventually he basically said 'oops!' and traveled back in time to wipe out that whole storyline," Slash Film noted.

"So, as Thor gets back to Asgard, a variation on the quest from Lord of the Rings is playing out. The mold that created Mjolnir still exists, and could potentially be used to make other serious weapons...Loki intercepts the mold. Loki has new weapons made, and with a force of powerful allies he attacks Thor and friends. In the first attack Mjolnir is broken, and the subsequent war basically destroys Asgard."

Meanwhile, other "Thor 3: Ragnarok" updates suggest that the next movie will be "pretty big."

Marvel President Kevin Feige hinted that Thor will be pushed to greater heights in the third installment. "We plan on taking Thor to another level. It picks up where we leave Thor in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' and impacts everything that comes after," he shared.

"Thor 3: Ragnarok" is slated for a 2018 release.
