Thor: Ragnarok casts Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, and more

Earlier today, Marvel released a bunch of news about its third installment in the Thor movie series, including a heavy hitting cast lineup.
After months of rumors and reports, we finally have confirmation that Mark Ruffalo will be starring in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok movie as the green smashing giant we all know and love — Hulk. How he plays in the film is still a mystery, however, we at least have an answer now.
In addition to the Ruffalo announcement, we also got a bunch more additions to the cast including Two-time Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett who joins Thor: Ragnarok as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela; Jeff Goldblum  as the eccentric Grandmaster; Tessa Thompson as the classic hero Valkyrie, and Karl Urban who will add his might to the fray as Skurge.
“The continuation of the epic Thor franchise will be powerful and unique, and with the additions of Cate, Jeff, Tessa, Karl, and Mark to the cast we have the makings of his most dangerous and heroic adventure yet,” said Producer Kevin Feige. “The sheer, raw talent each of these actors brings to the screen can’t be quantified. Having any one of them join the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be an honor, and having all of them is incredible."
The new cast will be joining the familiar faces in the previous Thor films such as Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Asgardian sentry, Heimdall; and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin, ruler of Asgard.
Thor: Ragnarok is due to hit theaters on July 28, 2017.
