Karl Urban (Star Trek Beyond) has officially been cast as Skurge, the Asgardian warrior that wields a magic double-bladed battle ax.
The upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok, directed by Taika Waititi (What We Do in The Shadows), will be the third and final entry in the current God of Thunder trilogy.
Karl Urban previously hinted at the transformation he has to undergo to become Skurge, who is both muscular and completely bald in the original comics.
As the son of an Asgardian warrior and a frost giant, Skurge became a famous famed warrior himself, hence the name Executioner.
