Could this be Thor's best solo outing yet?

You'd be forgiven if Thor: Ragnarok was your least-anticipated comic-book movie of the year given the likes of Justice League, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming are dominating the landscape, but that doesn't make the God Of Thunder's latest outing any less enticing.

Loki's back, Odin's back, the Infinity Stones are rumoured to be involved, Doctor Strange is entering the fray and the title is teasing a cataclysmic event that will test Thor's mettle like never before.

What's not to get excited about?

While the film is still a fair few months away, the trickle of information we've received regarding the project has been steady, including the likes of major and minor plot details, casting revelations and on-set pictures aplenty.

So, if the threequel is indeed at the lower end of your superhero-movie anticipation spectrum, let's see if we can bump it up a few notches, with a list of everything we know so far about Thor: Ragnarok...

10. Release Date And Director

Thor Ragnarok
Madman Entertainment

Thor: Ragnarok will be released on November 3 in the USA, and October 27 (a week early!) in the UK.

Incidentally, Justice League is coming out on November 17 in both territories, putting the two superhero juggernauts in dangerously close proximity.

Ragnarok was initially slated for July 2017, but was pushed back to accommodate Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Taika Waititi - best known for his whip-smart vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows - is helming the movie, which should bring a nice irreverent flavour to proceedings.

Funnily enough, this isn't the director's first foray into comic-book territory. He co-starred with Ryan Reynolds in 2011's cosmic flop Green Lantern, playing Hal Jordan's good friend, Tom Kalmaku.

How far he's come...
