Chris Hemsworth Confirms Thor's "Object" Will Return In Infinity War And It's Not Mjolnir!

Thor Ragnarok is on a record-breaking spree and getting an amazing response from Marvel fans in particular and comic-book lovers in general. It is the funniest Marvel movie ever and best Thor movie for sure. The movie has opened to a massive opening weekend and has raked in over $170 million already. The first reactions from the audience are very positive and everything from visual effects to storytelling is just impeccable. The movie is sitting on 93% on Rotten Tomatoes at present.

It is inspired by Jack Kirby’s Ragnarok comic wherein Asgard is burned to the ground and rebuilt from the ashes. The plot revolves around Thor’s struggle to stop goddess of death from destroying his home planet. The critics have heaped massive praise on Taika Waititi direction style and the fun elements introduced in the movie.

Although there were many aspects borrowed from comics, for instance, Hela’s powers are taken from Aaron’s character Gorr aka God Butcher. On the other hand, there were major differences between movie and comics. In the comics, Thor’s power is tied to his hammer Mjolnir. In fact, in Marvel comic titled The Mighty Thor # 12, the history of God of Thunder was rewritten only to show how special Mjolnir really is.

Many many years ago, when Odin met the powerful cosmic force known as God Tempest, he used dark magic to trap it inside Uru metal and ordered the dwarfs to forge it into the hammer. In fact, the hammer is so powerful that anyone who is worthy can lift it and become Thor. Lately in comics, Jane Foster has become female Thor. But in the movie, Thor discovered that the real power lies within and Mjolnir was just the conduit.

During a recent interview with EW, Chris Hemsworth revealed that he'll be bringing something he got in Thor: Ragnarok to Avenegers: Infinity War. So, we are going to see Thor retaining the eye patch in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War along with his new look. He said:

“Yeah, we carry it into the film with the eye patch you see in this film.”

The loss of his eye was an epic moment in the film. Thor lost his right eye during the final showdown with his sister, Hela. At the end of the movie, he was shown wearing the same eye patch that his beloved father, Odin, used to wear.  The director of 

Thor: Ragnarok 

also had an interview with EW in which he said that the loss of the eye adds to the deconstruction of the character throughout the movie. He said:

“That kind of just evolved just throughout the script process, to just keep stripping that character down, having him lose the hammer and all those things and to kind of create a broken version of the character. At the end, he sort of becomes a refugee.”

Moreover, we saw Thor becoming the new king of Asgard while Hela is not really dead but incredibly wounded and people of Asgard are safe for now. There were two post-credit scenes and only the first one was consequential.

Thor and Loki are discussing if they should visit Earth or not and suddenly they are interrupted by the massive ship. We could not see who was inside but Kevin Feige confirmed that it belongs to mad Titan himself. It is known as Sanctuary II.

It’s very likely that this scene will be the first scene of Avengers Infinity War. Why is Thanos interested in Thor’s ship? Well, at the end of Thor Ragnarok, when Loki went inside treasure room to bring Surtur alive, he looked at Tesseract and must have grabbed it because he is God of mischief. The ship will probably be destroyed by Thanos and Loki will gladly hand over the Infinity stone to him.

Moreover, the footage for the Infinity war movie shown at Disney’s D23 begins with Guardians of the Galaxy finding Thor floating in space unconscious without a space suit, Thor asks them about their identities. Let’s wait for the trailer to arrive. The movie has all the ingredients to become a massive blockbuster. CHEERS!
