Thor: Ragnarok - 12 Major Reveals From The New Images

6. Thor Meets Bruce Banner

Although the Science Bros are obviously the chief bromance in the MCU so far, this rather touching shot of Thor and Bruce Banner suggests that the pair are going to enjoy an emotional reunion. The happiness also suggests that this comes away from them having to fight one another.

Interestingly, neither of the characters look like prisoners at this point, so either they're here of their own free will, or their captors have restraints more effective than simple shackles?

It had been widely assumed that we'd only really get to see Banner in his Hulk form, given that the film is set on a distant planet, but presumably it's suitable for humans as well as aliens and space-Gods.

Incidentally, the fact that Banner appears to be wearing his normal everyday clothes is odd, given that he was last seen leaving his old life in the Quinjet in Hulk form, and thus not able to fit into Banner's suits. Has he actually been home between appearances? Or has the Grand Master treated him to comfortable clothes since he's Sakaar's most beloved champion?
