When Marvel announced the stellar cast for Thor: Ragnarok last month, there were plenty of reasons to be excited. Not only was it finally confirmed that Cate Blanchett was a part of the cast and that she would be playing Hela, but it was also confirmed that the fantastic Tessa Thompson had been confirmed as Valkyrie. Those confirmations alone were worth celebrating, but then Marvel surprised everyone and announced that Jeff Goldblum had joined the cast as the Grandmaster. Of course, prior to this announcement the actor had teased the possibility of joining a superhero film, but his casting in Ragnarok somehow managed to slip past the trades and stay a secret until the press release hit. Something that doesn’t typically happen these days, especially when it comes to Marvel casting news. So to say fans blew up at the announcement of Goldblum’s casting would be putting it lightly.
Interestingly enough, there was a bit more Thor: Ragnarok news to hit the web today alongside Goldblum’s comments. While it was initially reported that Ragnarok would kick off production this month, it appears that the start date has been pushed back a bit to July. In a video announcement made by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Marvel Studios executive David Maisel, they confirmed that Ragnarok is set to begin production on July 4th at Village Roadshow Studios.
