4. Thor Wears His Famous Helmet

Marvel were on-site with some small updates for their upcoming slate, including some concept art and brief footage from Thor: Ragnarok. It was very much more of what we'd already seen, with Thor and Hulk in battle in the Sakaaran gladiatorial arena, with more suggestion that they will team up to fight, rather than killing each other.

More interestingly, the footage confirmed the return of one element of Thor's design that has been mostly missing from the MCU so far: his famous winged helmet from the comics.

The only time we've seen him wear it came in the first Thor when he was supposed to take the throne of Asgard - suggesting it's a ceremonial headress. But Ragnarok will see him take it up once more in battle, so something must have changed.

Perhaps his Sakaaran masters like to dress him up for their sport?
