There’s actually a pretty good reason Thor has short hair in “Ragnarok”
Thor is back for the third installment of the stand-alone films starring Chris Hemsworth as the handsome and slightly aloof Avenger. And this time, Thor is sporting a short hair cut for a totally logical reason — it all makes sense after you learn the the plot of Thor: Ragnarok.
We won’t get to see more of The Avengers until 2018, but Thor and Hulk will be reunited in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok film. Entertainment Weekly just released news on the plot of the upcoming film and according to director Taika Waititi, it seems like Chris Hemsworth is going to get to show more of his comedic chops this time:
“He’s so good and underutilized in that department. He’s legitimately one of the funniest things in this film, Waititi explains.
We got a peek of comedic Thor in the teaser at the end of Doctor Strange, along with the Thor shorts about him and his roommate, Darryl. And in the newly released plot of the film, Doctor Strange himself is confirmed to make an appearance. So what else can we expect from the film?
"[Thor] hears rumblings of trouble in Asgard: His evil brother, Loki, has been impersonating their missing father, Odin. Loki’s rather lax governing leads to the reemergence of an imprisoned Hela. Thor’s initial encounter with Hela gets him blasted to Sakaar, a barbaric planet ruled by the charming but nefarious Grandmaster. Valkyrie, a tough, hard-drinking warrior hiding out on Sakaar brings the god to the Grandmaster."
Enter the Hulk — the gladiator! So he teams up with buddy Thor who becomes a Gladiator himself and must cut those signature locks of his. And that’s how the mystery of Thor’s short hair is solved. Maybe he’ll have time to take a break from fighting for a quick beer with Bruce Banner and Stephen Strange. One can only hope.
The film then apparently becomes a sort of “road trip” story and can you imagine Thor and Hulk taking a trip together?! Sounds like a blast! You can catch Thor: Ragnarok in theaters November 3rd!
