A Fire Giant through and through, Surtur brought the heat — pun intended — within the feature’s opening minutes. Though he and his Hellish minions were annoying enough, they could have had a much scarier look. A new piece of concept art shared by Ian Joyner shows a take on the fire demons that is much more organic in nature, as compared to the rockish looks of the final design.
Now that Ragnarok has become a runaway hit, Marvel Studios gave director Taika Waititi another shot at the character, this time around with Thor: Love and Thunder. According to the filmmaker, Love and Thunder will make Ragnarok feel safe.
“It makes Ragnarok feel like a really run-of-the-mill, really safe film,” the director said during a watch party with fans earlier this year. “This new movie feels like we asked a bunch of 10-year-olds what they wanted to see and then just said yes to every single thing.”
Better yet, Ragnarok Jeff Goldblum also teased a potential return to the franchise as The Grandmaster.
“I can’t give away any secrets. I know there’s been rumors and rumblings…I love that character, I love working with Taika Waititi especially, he’s a brilliant director,” Goldblum told a group of reporters at last year’s D23 Expo. “The people at Marvel, they know how to make a movie. It’s been a very pleasant experience. They are very kind. I love that cast. I want to do something with Taika for sure.”
Thor: Ragnarok is now streaming on Disney+.
