Marvel: 12 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Sept 17th)

2. Loki Sends Hulk To Planet Hulk

The self-same 4Chan leak has revealed a key detail about Hulk's appearance in Thor Ragnarok - that it's Loki who is responsible for him ending up on the gladiator planet where Thor finds him (and also Valkyrie).

Loki also ends up betraying Hela to help Thor against her eventually, but then has to beg for his life from Thanos and betrays his half-brother once more, revealing the location of all of the Infinity Stones.

Rating: 9/10

If it isn't true, it certainly should be.

The idea of Loki realising that Hulk could represent a threat to him and gaining his revenge for the "puny God!" moment in The Avengers is just perfect.

Otherwise you sort of just have to accept that Hulk was captured randomly, which is less narratively satisfying, particularly as this way he has a personal reason to help Thor.

And as for Loki's double betrayal, that sounds absolutely how it should go too. Him aligning with Hela then realising her plan leaves him with nothing to rule fits, and him having to kneel before Thanos again suits the arc he's already been on.
