3. A New Role For Loki

Loki has always been one of the greatest characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the fun vibes and dark undertones of Ragnarok are a great fit for him.

Expect the God of Mischief to have a more important role to play than in The Dark World. If we cast our minds back to the last sequel, he will start out ruling Asgard, masquerading as his father Odin.

Presumably his actions will result in the rise of Hera, but from what we can gleam from the trailer, he will later dabble in some light anti-heroism, batting for Team Thor.

It will be great to see Loki in a more substantial, not to mention more varied role, in Ragnarok.

Don't bet against Tom Hiddleston stealing the show again, although he's got serious competition from Hulk and Hera this time around.
