10 Best Opening Scenes In Superhero Movies

10. Thor: Ragnarok

Thor: Ragnarok had a lot riding on it. The first two Thor movies are considered among the worst in the MCU, but, where most directors would opt for a high-octane scene, Taika Waititi didn't try to go all-out with his opening for Thor: Ragnarok.

Ragnarok opens up with Thor chained up in the belly of Muspelheim, trading hilarious barbs with a demon. It's 100% tonal shift from both previous Thor movies and one that showcased a rarely seen side of the God of Thunder.

Of course, the entire movie was a blast from start to finish, making it a high contender for the best Marvel movie, but that opening scene really helped establish the new Thor. And hey, it even featured a dragon chase scene for good measure.
