10 Most Exciting New Additions To The MCU
4. Jeff Goldblum As The Grandmaster
There are certain actors who are immediately compelling and fascinating to watch no matter the quality of the film they're appearing in. Christopher Walken has this quality, as does John Malkovich, but perhaps the best example is Jeff Goldblum.
Goldblum's trademark quirks and odd line delivery has a way of grabbing you that is as idiosyncratic as his look. Putting him in any movie guarantees it will at least be interesting when he's on screen. And thankfully, Marvel have recognized the power of Goldblum and harnessed it for the role of The Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok, a pleasure seeking cosmic being who forces the universe's greatest warriors to fight for his amusement. Yes, please.
Even Kevin Feige seemed giddy when talking about the casting at Comic Con, and who could blame him? Though, given what we know about the film, The Grandmaster won't have a massive role, but that's probably a good thing or else people might forget this is supposed to be a movie about Thor.
