Thor: Ragnarok will be a Thor/Bruce Banner “buddy picture” says Mark Ruffalo

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

If you've been following the latest Marvel scoops, you're likely aware that JoBlo broke the news that Mark Ruffalo would be appearing in the upcoming THOR: RAGNAROK alongside Chris Hemsworth's Thor. We don't know all that much about the plot behind this latest THOR sequel, but Mark Ruffalo spoke with the New York Daily News and revealed that despite the likely apocalyptic tone that THOR: RAGNAROK will take, he views the film as a good ol' fashioned buddy picture:

I don't really know that much about it, but I think it's going to be a buddy picture with Thor and Bruce Banner.

While Thor and Bruce Banner may be playing buddy-buddy in the film, the same can't be said for Thor and the Hulk. Bruce Banner's giant green alter-ego hasn't always seen eye-to-eye with Thor in the MCU, and Mark Ruffalo believes that "they'll probably fight, there's no doubt, everyone wants us to fight at one point." I'd have to agree with you there Ruffalo, witnessing some Thor/Hulk fisticuffs in a cosmic setting is something which I'd very much like to see. The actor probably doesn't know a whole lot more than the rest of us, thanks to Marvel's notorious secrecy, but he added that he know's that "it's about (the Norse legends of) 'Ragnarok,' or the end times in the Marvel universe as it pertains to Thor — which seems to be quite the theme these days in movies."

THOR: RAGNAROK will hit theaters on November 3, 2017.

A Hulk vs. Thor throwdown, who would win?
