The REAL test of this fully operational movie studio will be Thor: Ragnarok.

Well, the days when Marvel/Disney could laugh maniacally and turn obscure comic book intellectual properties into endless streams of cash have certainly come to a middle: “Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios‘ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opened to an estimated $145 million in 4,347 domestic theaters this weekend, an average of $33,368 per location. …Combined with the domestic gross, the estimated global weekend of $269 million contributes to a global overall sum of $428 million after 13 days of play.” There’s a reason why they made sure to note that there was going to be a third movie; the Mouse already knew that this one was going to be a monster. Call it science, call it art, call it arcane powers granted through a sorcerous pact made with supernatural forces, but the writing was literally on the wall for this one.

Interestingly, he’s gonna be playing the Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok. Usual suspects for the main cast: also… “Other newcomers to the film include Jeff Goldblum as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson as the classic hero Valkyrie, and Karl Urban as Skurge.” And with Cate Blanchett as the Big Bad (Hela). That’s gonna be one long geek-fest from start to finish, in other words. Except for Tessa Thompson, who I don’t think has done geek movies before now.

…Apropos of nothing, a Thor / Hulk / Loki / Stacker Pentecost / Van Helsing / Galadriel / Dr. McCoy / Pick The Scientist Jeff Goldblum Will Be Playing movie would be AMAZINGLY good.  And I even know how to make it work.  My pitch? Real simple: LEGO Movie 2.
