Thor Ragnarok Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Must See

12. The Death Of Heimdall?

Back on Asgard - at least it's presumably Asgard, since Heimdall isn't known to be a wanderer - the guardian of the Bifrost takes on one of Hela's foot soldiers (hence the similar headwear and colour scheme).

Unfortunately, the splatter of goo is a little Suicide Squad, but let's try and get over that...

It's interesting to note that Heimdall isn't wearing his ceremonial outfit we've seen before. Could he now be a nomad after the fall of Asgard? Could this be Hela sending her forces to find him - perhaps to retrieve the Soul Stone?

He's definitely not long for this Earth. Well or for Asgard either, really. Idris Elba has been quite vocal about his experiences playing Heimdall and it really wouldn't be surprising if he was killed off this time.
