Thor and Thor: The Dark World are 9th and 8th, respectively, on the all-time list for Marvel Cinematic Movies domestic (9th and 6th worldwide), and the presence of Ruffalo’s Hulk can only help that for number three.

Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, and Jaimie Alexander, who portrays Lady Sif, are expected to return to the franchise.
The story first broke at JoBlo earlier this week, and now it seems the Thor: Ragnarok Hulk rumors are true! The title, “Thor: Ragnarok” is based on the Norse apocalypse myth. The story will reportedly center on a “distant planet” that is “not Asgard and not Earth”.
Deadline reports that Marvel is nearing a deal with Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo will be co-star in Thor: Ragnarok, which should lead to a very interesting storyline in Thor’s third film starring Chris Hemsworth. This follows recent unconfirmed talk, still unconfirmed, that Thor: Ragnarok feature a “cosmic road trip” with Thor and Hulk that will also see the Asgardian characters Valkyrie and the Enchantress making their big-screen debuts. Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle have put together the screenplay for the movie, which is being directed by Taika Waititi.
While Hulk fans are no doubt upset that the green giant hasn’t gotten a stand-alone flick since Edward Norton’s The Incredible Hulk back in 2008, having him star alongside Thor in a kind of “buddy flick” is the next best thing.

The last time we saw the Hulk was in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when he was taking off in the Quinjet toward destinations unknown.
