Thor: Ragnarok - 12 Huge Rumours You Need To Know

10. Beta Ray Bill Will Be Introduced

Just as he has superhero buddies on Midgard, Thor can also count on a team of super friends to help when sh*t goes down on Asgard. Various rumours have suggested that Hercules, Balder, Thunderstrike and Valkyire might all appear as part of the battle for Asgard, but easily the most exciting for Thor fans is the tease that Beta Ray Bill might also join the cast. Sure, it would pose CGI problems, and require a suspension of belief, but there was a tree in the MCU not so long ago. And it talked. To a raccoon. The Evidence Well, he might well have appeared very briefly in Age Of Ultron. During Thor's nightmarish dream sequence (which somehow tells him the future, rather than just being based on his fears for some reason) one of the masks in the background looked suspiciously like the Korbinite's head. That homage might have been one of Marvel's familiar call-aheads, and while that's something of a leap, the character was rumoured for Ragnarok before Age Of Ultron and before Phase 3 was even mapped out publicly.
