Thor: Ragnarok/Trivia

A list of trivia related to Thor: Ragnarok.

• The July 28, 2017 release date of the film was previously held by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 until it was moved to May 5, 2017. Eventually, Thor: Ragnarok got its date moved to November 2, 2017, letting Spider-Man: Homecoming take the original date.
• During the fight scene between Thor and Hela in an alley, there is graffiti which says "Skux Life," which is a quote from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, one of Taika Waititi's previous films.
• The design on the wall in the Grandmaster's box in the stadium is a rendering of a device used to transport beings out of the Negative Zone, as seen in Fantastic Four #64.
  • The design was also used on the Thor: Ragnarok Art Department employee's shirts.
• Ragnarök (which means Fate of the Gods in Old Norse) is an apocalyptic event in Norse Mythology prophesied to result in the deaths of several major gods, including Thor, as well as severe natural disasters that lead to the entire earth becoming submerged in water.
  • The beginning of Ragnarök is signalled by the crowing of three roosters; first, the crimson rooster Fjalar crows from the forest of Gálgviðr while Eggthér the giant herdsman sits on a mound cheerfully playing his harp. Next, the golden comb Gullinkambi alerts the heroes of Valhalla. Finally, an unnamed soot-red cock cries through the halls of Hel.
  • After the three roosters raise the alarm, Garmr, the blood-stained guard dog of the gates of Hel, howls deeply from his post in the cave of Gnipahellir and his bindings break, allowing him to run free.
  • Jörmungandr, the massive serpent that lives in the great ocean surrounding Midgard, releases its tail from its mouth.
  • Sköll and Hati, the sons of Fenrir, finally succeed in their quests; Sköll catches Sól, who drives the chariot of the sun through the sky, while Hati catches Máni, who drives the chariot of the moon through the sky. The wolf brothers kill and devour their prey (Sköll eats the sun and Hati eats the moon).
  • After Sköll swallows the sun and Hati swallows the moon, the stars disappear from the sky, the earth quakes violently, trees are uprooted, mountains collapse, and all binds will snap.
  • When the enemies of the gods gather at the plain of Vígríðr, Heimdallr raises the Gjallarhorn, a trumpet whose blast can be heard in all worlds, and blows into it. The gods awaken and assemble to meet their foes in battle.
