Thor: Ragnarok Trailer - 9 Big Questions We're Left With

9. How Much Narration Will The Film Have?

The trailer opens with Thor - wrapped up in chains - tumbling toward the camera in a fiery, hellish-looking environment.

This looks like it could either be Hel, or Muspelheim, home of the demon Surtur. Thor certainly doesn't look happy with what is in front of him, and an ancient demon stood right in full view would certainly make anyone more disgruntled.

But arguably the most intriguing part of this scene is the narration that's playing over the top. There hasn't been any fourth-wall-breaking narration in the MCU so far, so it does feel a little jarring at first, though it is in keeping with Taika Waititi's offbeat directorial style.

Will this type of narration permeate the entire film? Or will it just open the movie, then flash us back in time to see what led Thor to his chain-infused predicament? This particular scene could be set in the future once Thor's hair has grown back, so that's a possibility.

Or, this scene could open the film, and the narration was just a quirky choice made purely to lend the trailer a bit more personality. After all, there is a chance that Thor says these lines, normally, throughout the movie.

But with Waititi at the helm, anything is possible. Marvel are famous for giving their directors a lot of freedom which allows each movie to feel unique, and narration throughout Thor: Ragnarok would certainly accomplish that.
