Thor: Ragnarok

After defeating Surtur, a giant god-like creature hellbent on destroying Thor’s homeworld, Asgard, the God of Thunder tracks down his father, King Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins), with the help of the portal-wielding Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberpatch). But when Odin suddenly dies, his secret firstborn daughter, Hela (Cate Blanchett), appears to assume power of the throne. Once she destroys Thor’s hammer, Mjolinir, she swiftly seizes Asgard. In trying to fight Hela, Thor and his brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the God of Mischief, wind up on the distant garbage planet of Sakaar, where they meet allies old and new, including The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).

Now You See Me 2 offers a different kind of movie magic

When Now You See Me came out in 2013 it was, for the most part, considered to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Whilst a financial success, it was criticised for its failure to flesh out its characters and conclude key plot points. But with a cast that included the likes of Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo, it was hard not to imagine a sequel being put together backstage.
