has taken over Asgard, the powerful Hela has emerged to
steal the throne for herself and Thor is imprisoned on the
other side of the universe. To escape captivity and save his
home from imminent destruction, Thor must first win a deadly
alien contest by defeating his former ally and fellow Avenger -
The Incredible Hulk.

 MAIN CHARACTERS
 Chris Hemsworth as Thor:
The crown prince of Asgard based on
the Norse mythological deity of the same
name, who has become a "lone gunslinger"
searching for the Infinity Stones. Hemsworth
had become "a bit bored" with the character
after portraying Thor four times previously,
and wanted to take some risks and
experiment: the character has shorter hair in
the film, wears a different outfit, his hammer
Mjolnir is destroyed, and he loses an eye.
Director Taika Waititi added that "stripping"
the character down like this allowed him to
become a refugee at the end of the film.
 Tom Hiddleston as Loki:
Thor's adoptive brother and nemesis based
on the deity of the same name. Hiddleston
was interested in how Loki's attitude has
changed, saying, "he is always a trickster. It
is trying to find new ways for him to be
mischievous".As the ruler of Asgard since
the end of Thor: The Dark World (2013),
Hiddleston notes that "Loki has devoted
most of his efforts to narcissistic self-
glorification. Not so much on good
governance." He also added that "the idea
that Thor might be indifferent to Loki is
troubling for him... it's an interesting
development."
 MAIN CHARACTERS
 Cate Blanchett as Hela:
Thor's older sister and the goddess of death,
based on the deity Hel, who is inadvertently
released from prison. Screenwriter Eric
Pearson included the idea of Hela being
Thor's sister in one of his drafts at the
encouragement of executive producer Brad
Winderbaum. The decision to make Hela
related to Thor, as opposed to Loki as in the
comics and Norse mythology, came from
needing more impact with Hela and Thor's
final confrontation. By making the change,
Pearson felt Hela became "the thing that
[represents] what it is to rule Asgard, [Thor's]
family, what he's been told, what he hasn't
been told."
 Idris Elba as Heimdall:
The all-seeing, all-hearing Asgardian former
sentry of the Bifröst Bridge, based on the
deity of the same name, who has gone into
self-imposed exile during Loki's reign. After
Hela invades Asgard, he helps to hide its
vulnerable citizens. Describing Heimdall's
character arc in the film, Winderbaum says,
"he's gone from this elder statesmen, the
gatekeeper to Asgard, to this badass
warrior-wizard character who lives in the
hills and kicks a lot of ass throughout the
entire film."
