It was confirmed quite a while ago that the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok would be using elements from the fan-favorite Planet Hulk, but in the latest issue of Total Film (via MCU Exchange) director Taika Waititi has confirmed that the planet Sakaar will be central to the film.
Thor: Ragnarok will smash its way into theaters on November 3, 2017.
“Sakaar was just an insane, far-off, furutistic place which was the biggest shift for the film and these characters,” the director said.
Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee.
