"Thor: Ragnarok" will become another Marvel movie that features more than one superhero as previous rumor that the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) will be joined by Hulk is confirmed. Mark Ruffalo is now in negotiations to reprise his role as Bruce Banner in the third installment of "Thor" movie series.

JoBlo suggests that in the upcoming movie, the hammer-wielding hero and the Green Goliath have to face "what amounts to the Norse Apocalypse." It will also feature a "distant planet" that's "not Asgard and not Earth." Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, and Jaimie Alexander, who portrays Lady Sif, are expected to return to the franchise.

"Thor: Ragnarok" will be directed by Taika Waititi, whose credits include "Eagle vs Shark" and last year's "What We Do in the Shadows". Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost write the script while Kevin Feige is on board as producer. The movie is due to open in the U.S. on November 2, 2017.

Before appearing in "Ragnarok", Ruffalo will reprise his role as Dylan Rhodes in Jon M. Chu's magician movie "Now You See Me: The Second Act". He is set to star alongside Woody Harrelson, Daniel Radcliffe, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Jesse Eisenberg.
