It's all happening, people! More and more details and casting news for the third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, are being released. Though the movie won't be out for quite a while, we already know about the cast, the director, the release date, and some exciting Hulk-related news. Here's everything we know about the upcoming sequel, and if you already know all of this, perhaps we can teach you a few things about the Avengers: Infinity War movies!

1 The Cast

Of course, Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role as Thor, the mythical Norse god. Cate Blanchett has joined the movie, though we don't know anything about her role yet. Marvel has reportedly been on the hunt for a "badass female," and the Oscar winner definitely fits that description. Also confirmed: Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Jaimie Alexander as Lady Sif, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Karl Urban as Skurge, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, and Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster.

2 The Director

Just had a very constructive story meeting with our Thor 3 director @taikawaititi - gonna be a lotta fun. If you haven't seen his other film yet @huntforthewilderpeople, go see it! It's got more heart, humor and fun than a bag of marshmallows. It opens tomorrow in LA/NYC and everywhere in July. Visit wilderpeople.film to buy tickets !!

Taika Waititi, who wrote, directed, and starred in the 2014 vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows, is set to direct.

Mark Ruffalo is set to appear as Bruce Banner/The Hulk in the new film. In fact, the scientist and his big, green alter ego might even get a chance to meet.

4 The Plot

Marvel President Kevin Feige confirmed that the word Ragnarok "means essentially the end of all things," which isn't a great forecast. The film is an essential piece of the studio's Phase Three plan, but we don't have many details about what will happen. We do know that Ragnarok is an actual character in the comics — a supervillain, in fact.

5 Shooting Is Underway

Filming began the first week of July, and star Hemsworth has already provided a look at the set!

6 The Release Date

As Marvel announced last year, the sequel will hit theaters on July 28, 2017.
