Thor: Ragnarok - 13 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

3. Thor Fights The Midgard Serpent

The Rumour: As soon as it was revealed that the movie would revolve around the apocalyptic event known as Ragnarok, fans began to suspect whether or not Thor would end up facing off against mythological beasts such as Fenris Wolf and Jörmungandr aka the Midgard Serpent.

Though the former was confirmed in trailers several months ago, there was still no sight of the colossal snake which Thor battled numerous times in the comics, but that didn't stop many fans expecting a gigantic, slithering surprise in the final film.

The Truth: Nope, there's no Midgard Serpent. It would've contributed even further to the movie looking like an 80s metal album cover, sure, but there's so much going on here already that a giant snake might've been a little overboard, especially as the beast can be saved for another film.
