Thor: Ragnarok official synopsis and set photo has us buzzing

New Thor: Ragnarok stuff is here, and we ♥ Taika Waititi

Now that we’ve crossed over the weird Bifrost that separated the hellish 2016 from 2017 and beyond, we finally have things to be happy about again, like the fact that Thor: Ragnarok is coming out this year.

The last God of Thunder instalment, Thor: The Dark World, left rather a lot to be desired for many fans. But we’ve been 100 percent on board with Ragnarok since 2015, when it was announced that the brilliant Taika Waititi (What We Do In The ShadowsHunt For The Wilderpeople) would be helming it.

Join us in getting hyped all over again with this official plot synopsis from Marvel.com:

In Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!

There’s also this cool behind the scenes set photo, which shows Taika Waititi being a Boss as he directs Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

Now let’s all watch the Team Thor video again, because it’s incredible.
