Thor Ragnarok Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Must See

17. Welcome To Sakaar

Presumably, this follows Thor's encounter with Hela, and also her devastation of Asgard: somehow Thor ends up being teleported through one of the wormholes that dumps out on Sakaar. It's not likely he came here on purpose.

Incidentally, he still has his hair - so its removal is nothing to do with Hela, then.

It's not a happy greeting: he's met by what appears to be a band of Harry Potter-like Snatchers, who hoover up strangers to trade. There's definitely also a Gladiator vibe here (think Russell Crowe being traded to Olly Reed...)

The characters definitely feel like they could exist in the Star Wars universe...

And he just wanted to say hello.
