A3 THE MARVEL LOGO. SMOLDERING, BEGINNING TO TURN ORANGE IN THE A3
HEAT AS WE TILT UP TO SEE-
-FIRE. NOTHING BUT FIRE.
2 INT. TIGHT SPACE - INDETERMINATE TIME 2
Dark and cramped. The soft red light of fire seeps through
iron slats. Inside this cage is a man, bound by chains.
It's THOR. His beard is long and his clothes are worn. That
rough, grizzled look of a man who's spent years on the road.
He awakens with a JOLT. Looks around.
THOR
Now I know what you're thinking.
Oh no! Thor's in a cage. How did
this happen?
(then
Well, sometimes you have to get
captured just to get a straight
answer out of somebody. It's a long
story but basically I'm a bit of a
hero. See, I spent some time on
earth, fought some robots, saved
the planet a couple of times. Then
I went searching through the cosmos
for some magic, colorful Infinity
Stone things... didn't find any.
That's when I came across a path of
death and destruction which led me
all the way here into this cage...
where I met you.
Reveal that he's talking to a weird alien skeleton in chains.
THOR (CONT'D)
How much longer do you think we'll
be here?
NOISE. Sounds of metal gears TURNING.
Suddenly the bottom DROPS OUT! Thor PLUMMETS until - SHLINK!
Chains CINCH and abruptly halt his descent. Thor dangles six
feet off the ground. Pull back to reveal we are in-
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 2.
3 INT. SURTUR'S LAIR - CONTINUOUS 3
A cavernous space. The walls, floors, and ceilings are
molten rock, which has creepy glimmers of fire within it.
Stationed in the center is a volcanic rock throne, and
sitting in that throne is a charred demonic skeleton.
SURTUR (O.S.)
Thor, Son of Odin.
Thor's chain turns to reveal-
-SURTUR on his throne. Eighteen-feet-tall, flesh made of
fire, and demonic spiked horns on his skull.
THOR
Surtur. Son of a bitch...you're
still alive! I thought my father
killed you, like, half a million
years ago.
SURTUR
I cannot die. Not until I fulfill
my destiny and lay waste to your
home.
THOR
You know, it's funny you should
mention that because I've been
having these terrible dreams of
late. Asgard up in flames, falling
to ruins, and you Surtur are at the
center of all of them.
SURTUR
Then you have seen Ragnarok, the
fall of Asgard. The great prophecy--
THOR (O.S.)
Hang on. Hang on.
Reveal that Thor's chain is turning VERY SLOWLY.
THOR (CONT'D)
I'll be back around shortly. I
really feel like we were connecting
there.
After a beat, Thor rotates around to face Surtur.
THOR (CONT'D)
Okay, so, Ragnarok. Tell me about
that. Walk me through it.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 3.
SURTUR
My time has come. When my crown is
reunited with the Eternal Flame, I
shall be restored to my full might.
I will tower over the mountains and
bury my sword deep in Asgard's--
THOR
Oh, hang on. Give it a second.
Once again, Thor is turning VERY SLOWLY.
THOR (CONT'D)
I swear I'm not even moving, it's
just doing this on its own. I'm
really sorry.
(then
Okay, let me get this straight.
You're going to put your crown into
the Eternal Flame, and then you'll
suddenly grow as big as a house--
SURTUR
A mountain!
THOR
The Eternal Flame that Odin keeps
locked away on Asgard?
Surtur grins, evil.
SURTUR
Odin is not on Asgard. And your
absence has left the throne
defenseless.
That elicits a concerned look from Thor.
THOR
Okay, so where is it? This crown?
SURTUR
This is my Crown, the source of my
power.
Surtur points at the V-shaped horns on his head..
THOR
Oh, that's a crown? I thought it
was a big eyebrow.
SURTUR
It's a crown.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 4.
THOR
Anyway, it sounds like all I have
to do to stop Ragnarok is rip that
thing off your head.
Surtur stands up and approaches Thor, DRAGGING his sword.
SURTUR
But Ragnarok has already begun. You
cannot stop it. I am Asgard's
doom, and so are you. All will
suffer, all will burn.
Surtur steps forward and GRABS the chain above Thor's feet,
holding it so he and Thor are face to face.
THOR
That's intense. To be honest,
seeing you grow really big and set
fire to a planet would be quite the
spectacle. But it looks like I'm
going to have to go with option B
where I bust out of these chains,
knock that tiara off your head, and
stash it away in Asgard's vault.
SURTUR
You cannot stop Ragnarok. Why fight
it?
Behind his back, Thor opens his hand. Sending out the SOS.
THOR
Because that's what heroes do.
Nothing happens. Thor appears annoyed at himself.
THOR (CONT'D)
Wait, sorry. I didn't time that
right.
(pause)
And, now!
BOOM! Thor's hammer Mjolnir CRASHES through the wall!
Thor BREAKS FREE from his chains, GRABS Mjolnir, spins, and
flies a distance away. He FLINGS Mjolnir back at Surtur,
smashing the giant in the face. Mjolnir returns.
SURTUR
You have made a grave mistake,
Odinson.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 5.
THE WALLS COME ALIVE! A seemingly infinite swarm of FIRE
DEMONS rally to Surtur's aid.
THOR
I make grave mistakes all the time.
Everything seems to work out.
In the shadows, a massive FIRE DRAGON ROARS.
The fire demons SURGE FORWARD. Thor backs up, HAMMERING
AWAY. He then leaps back, SPRINGBOARDS off the wall, and-
-LANDS HARD, SLAMMING Mjolnir down. The resulting shockwave
KNOCKS BACK THE LEGION OF FIRE DEMONS.
The Fire Dragon STRAINS against a chain leash.
Thor is now facing off with Surtur. Surtur thrusts his hands
at Thor, generating a humongous PROJECTILE WALL OF FIRE!
Thor SPINS Mjolnir so fast that it creates a kind of SHIELD.
The God of Thunder and the Fire Giant engage in ferocious
hand-to-hand combat. Each landing power shots, sending
sparks of both fire and electricity into the air.
Thor SLIPS behind Surtur and TAKES OUT his knees. Thor then
LAUNCHES HIGH into the air and summons a HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT.
Descending hard, he uses all his power to-
-LOP SURTUR'S HEAD OFF OF HIS BODY! Surtur's body DEFLATES
and COLLAPSES into a heap of charred bones.
Thor straps the crowned skull to his back. He turns to find-
-the army of Fire Demons regrouping as reinforcements flood
in, filling the space to capacity. Recognizing the threat,
Thor thrusts Mjolnir above his head.
THOR (CONT'D)
Heimdall. I know it's been a while,
but I could use a fast exit!
Nothing. Thor just stands there as the Fire Demons advance.
THOR (CONT'D)
...Heimdall?
4 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - SAME 4
Heimdall is nowhere to be found. Instead, we meet SKURGE.
He's bald, strong, mean looking, a little eager to be liked.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 6.
At the moment, Skurge is entertaining two ASGARDIAN WOMEN.
SKURGE
Heimdall was an idiot. This job
should have made him rich. Now,
the job ain't easy, but it does
have its benefits. The Bi-Frost
gives me access to everything the
Nine Realms have to offer. I mean
it's all mine for the taking.
(beat)
Behold...my stuff.
Skurge has drawn their attention to a pile of weapons and
treasures he has stashed off to the side.
He hefts up two M-16 assault rifles, trying to play it cool.
SKURGE (CONT'D)
I'm particularly fond of these. I
pulled `em out of a place on
Midgard called Texas. I even named
them. Des and Troy. You see, when
you put them together...they
destroy.
5 INT. SURTUR'S LAIR - CONTINUOUS 5
Having expected to have been Bi-Frosted out of there, Thor is
OVERRUN BY THE GIANT WAVE OF FIRE DEMONS!
The Fire Dragon BREAKS FREE of its chain.
Realizing he's in trouble, Thor TAKES OFF, rocketing up to-
6 EXT. MUSPELHEIM - CONTINUOUS 6
Thor CRASHES out of the ground and LANDS on a craggy surface.
Disoriented and singed from the fire demon onslaught.
Thor's cloak is on fire, and he frantically PATS OUT the
flames. He picks up Mjolnir, holds it up once more. Nothing.
THOR
Heimdall, come on.
THE GROUND SHAKES! Like an earthquake. Thor backs up as the
ground begins to give way all around him. And then-
-THE FEARSOME FIRE DRAGON BURSTS OUT OF THE GROUND! The
dragon opens its tremendous jaws for an ear-splitting roar...
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 7.
...but Thor STUFFS Mjolnir into its mouth and lets go.
THUD! The hammer DROPS, pinning the beast down by its bottom
jaw. It THRASHES and GROWLS, trying to break free.
THOR (CONT'D)
Stay.
(looks up to the sky
I'm running short on--
Thor notices that all around him the ground is CRUMBLING like
a field of sinkholes giving way to more snarling Fire Demons!
THOR (CONT'D)
-options.
Thor calls for Mjolnir and TAKES OFF. The dragon SCREECHES!
7 OMITTED 7

9 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - SAME 9
Skurge continues showing off for the ladies.
THOR (O.S.)
Heimdall?
Behind Skurge the Bi-Frost starts MOVING. One of the women
notices the Bi-Frost glowing.
ASGARDIAN WOMAN
Skurge, is that important?
Skurge turns and notices the Bi-Frost activity.
SKURGE
You girls are in for a treat.
Angle on Heimdall's sword, which has been sloppily cast aside
in another pile of "stuff." Skurge hastily runs and grabs it.
10 EXT. MUSPELHEIM - CONTINUOUS 10
Thor is FLYING at top speed, but that dragon is right on his
heels! The fire demons LAUNCH flaming projectiles from below!
Thor looks back, genuinely nervous. The dragon is OPENING
its jaws to swallow Thor whole when-
-Suddenly Bi-Frost OPENS! The portal surrounds Thor and
engulfs the dragon's head! In an instant, they're gone.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 8.
MAIN TITLE
11 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - MOMENTS LATER 11
Skurge has plunged Heimdall's sword into Bi-Frost.
BOOM! Thor EXPLODES out of the portal along with the severed
head of the dragon! SPLAT! Blood and guts RAIN DOWN on
Skurge and the two women, DRENCHING them with purple gore.
The dragon's head SLIDES slowly across the floor, coming to
rest right in front of the women who are frozen in shock.
The women SHRIEK and rush out of the Observatory. Thor
meanwhile is clean and staggering back to his feet. He looks
up to Skurge, who is wiping dragon guts off of himself.
SKURGE
Girls!
(beat)
Well well, look who decided to pop
in. Thanks for scaring away my
company and drenching my workplace
in brains.
THOR
Who are you?
SKURGE
Don't you remember? I'm Skurge.
(Thor doesn't)
We fought together on Vanaheim.
THOR
Right. Where's Heimdall?
SKURGE
That traitor. No one knows, he's a
fugitive of the throne.
THOR
Traitor?
SKURGE
Yeah, you see, Odin charged
Heimdall with negligence of duty,
but he disappeared before the
trial. Hard to catch a guy who can
see everything in the Universe.
Thor starts to say something, but then gives up. Instead he
starts towards the exit... but Skurge stands in his way.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 9.
THOR
Sure.
SKURGE
Hold on. I'm supposed to announce
your arrival.
Thor SPINS UP Mjolnir and takes off in a blur. Skurge starts
the loooong run down the Rainbow Bridge.
12 OMITTED 12
A13 EXT. THEATER ENTRANCE - DAY A13
THOR arrives with Surtur's skull.
There's a small crowd making its way through a threshold over
which stands a monumental statue of Loki, arms out-stretched
in the `savior' pose.
Confused, Thor turns to a theater patron.
THOR
What the hell is that?
13 EXT. ASGARD - ROYAL TERRACE - PATIO - MOMENTS LATER 13
LOKI falls into frame, GASPING FOR BREATH... although it's
not Loki. This is ACTOR LOKI and we're watching a STAGE PLAY.
In the background, a single musician plays the haunting score
from THOR: THE DARK WORLD on a pan flute.
Suddenly, ACTOR THOR leans into shot, holding Actor Loki.
ACTOR LOKI
Oh, brother. This is it. I take
my leave.
ACTOR THOR
You fool, you didn't listen!
ACTOR LOKI
I'm sorry.
ACTOR THOR
Lady Sif! Get help!
"Sif" awkwardly runs off. The "Warriors Three" watch sadly. A
small choir JOINS IN as the music builds to a CRESCENDO.
ACTOR SIF
Somebody help!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 10.
In the middle of the audience we reveal ODIN, sitting upon a
chaise lounge, sipping wine and thoroughly enjoying the show.
Unseen, Thor arrives behind the audience and watches.
ACTOR LOKI
Sorry for all I've done.
ACTOR THOR
It's all right. Hold on.
ACTOR LOKI
I'm sorry I tried to rule Earth.
ACTOR THOR
They'd be lucky to have you.
ACTOR LOKI
I'm sorry about that thing with the
Tesseract. I just couldn't help
myself.
ACTOR THOR
I know.
ACTOR LOKI
I'm a trickster.
ACTOR THOR
So mischievous.
ACTOR LOKI
Sorry about that time I turned you
into a frog.
ACTOR THOR
It was a wonderful joke.
ODIN
(to no-one in particular)
Twas indeed hilarious.
ACTOR THOR
You are the savior of Asgard.
ACTOR LOKI
Tell my story.
ACTOR THOR
I will.
ACTOR LOKI
Build a statue for me.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 11.
ACTOR THOR
We will build a big statue for you.
ACTOR LOKI
With my helmet on, with the big
bendy horns.
ACTOR THOR
I will tell Father what you did
here today.
Odin mouths Actor Loki's final line along with him.
ACTOR LOKI
I didn't do it for him.
Actor Loki then "dies".
ACTOR THOR
Noooooo!!!
The brothers freeze in a TABLEAU as ACTOR ODIN steps forward.
ACTOR ODIN
And so Loki died of his wounds,
giving his life for ours. He
fought back those disgusting dark
elves. He brought peace to the
realm.
He takes a 4-YEAR-OLD BOY, PAINTED BLUE, into his arms.
ACTOR ODIN (CONT'D)
Loki, my boy...`Twas many moons ago
I found you on a frost-bitten
battlefield.
Thor watches, incredulous. He then notices that a woman next
to him is openly SOBBING at the play.
ACTOR ODIN (CONT'D)
On that day, I did not yet see in
you Asgard's savior. No. You were
merely a little blue baby icicle...
that melted this old fool's heart.
The crowd erupts in rapturous applause. The players bow. Odin
stands up, leading the crowd in this STANDING OVATION.
ODIN
Bravo! Bravo! Well done. Bravo.
THOR
Father.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 12.
Odin sees Thor taking a knee. Curses under his breath:
ODIN
Oh, shit.
(then, announcing)
My son! Thor has returned!
Greetings my boy.
Odin goes through a weird internal transformation. His
fluidity is replaced by a rigid and regal posture. He bats
away his maiden and turns to Thor, who stands up.
THOR
It's an interesting play. What's
it called?
ODIN
The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard. The
people wanted to commemorate him.
THOR
Indeed they should.
(provoking)
I like that statue. A lot better
looking than he was when he was
alive, though. A little less
weasely. Less greasy maybe.
Odin sours, masking his agitation. Thor holds up the skull.
THOR (CONT'D)
You know what this is?
ODIN (ADR)
The skull of Surtur? That's a
formidable weapon.
Thor approaches an E-Guard and hands it over.
THOR
Do me a favor. Lock this in a
vault so it doesn't turn into a
giant monster and destroy the whole
planet.
ODIN
So it's back to Midgard for you, is
it?
Thor starts YO-YOing Mjolnir, turns back to Odin.
THOR
Nope. I've been having this
reocurring dream lately.
(MORE)
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 13.
THOR (CONT'D)
Every night I see Asgard fall into
ruins...
ODIN
That's just a silly dream... Signs
of an overactive imagination.
THOR
Possibly... but then I decide to go
out there and investigate. And
what do I find, but the Nine Realms
completely in chaos. Enemies of
Asgard assembling, plotting our
demise, all while you, Odin, the
protector of those Nine Realms, are
sitting here in your bathrobe,
eating grapes.
ODIN
Well, it is best to respect our
neighbors' freedom.
THOR
Of course, the freedom to be
massacred.
ODIN
Yes, besides, I have been rather
busy myself.
THOR
Watching theatre.
ODIN
Board meetings, and security
council meetings...
THOR
You really going to make me do it?
ODIN
Do what?
Thor SPINS Mjolnir and then HURLS it off into the distance,
GRABS Odin by the back of the neck.
Odin's royal attendants GASP in shock. The Einherjar
bodyguards rush Thor, but he KICKS them away.
THOR
You know that nothing will stop
Mjolnir as it returns to my hand.
Mjolnir stops mid-air and starts ROCKETING BACK.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 14.
THOR (CONT'D)
Not even your face.
ODIN
You've gone quite mad. You'll be
executed for this!
Mjolnir approaches at a terrifying speed as Odin struggles.
THOR
Then I'll see you on the other
side...brother.
The jig is up. A shimmering illusion dissipates, revealing:
LOKI
Alright, I yield!
Thor DROPS Loki to the ground and catches Mjolnir. Loki
looks to Thor, hands up defensively. Skurge arrives on the
scene, a little late to warn Loki.
SKURGE
Behold! Thor..Odinson.
LOKI
You had one job! Just the one.
THOR
Where's Odin?
LOKI
You just couldn't stay away, could
you? Everything was fine without
you. Asgard was prospering
(gestures to the crowd)
You've ruined everything. Ask
them.
Those who aren't freaked out are becoming gradually angrier.
Thor advances on Loki, who backs up onto the chaise lounge.
THOR
Where's father? Did you kill him?
LOKI
You had what you wanted, you had
the independence you asked for!
Thor PRESSES Mjolnir onto Loki's chest.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 15.

Ow-ow-ow! Alright! I know exactly
where he is.

17 EXT. SHADY ACRES NURSING HOME - MANHATTAN - DAY 17
A NURSING HOME sign on a brick wall. Suddenly the wall
crumbles out of shot, revealing a demolition site.
Reveal Thor and Loki wearing street clothes. Thor carries an
umbrella, Loki is dressed in a weird avant-garde suit.
LOKI
I swear, I left him right here.
THOR
Right here on the sidewalk? Or
right there, where the building
that's being demolished? Great
planning.
LOKI
How was I supposed to know? Can't
see into the future. I'm not a
witch.
THOR
Then why do you dress like one?
LOKI
Hey.
THOR
I can't believe you're alive. I saw
you die. I mourned you, I cried for
you.
LOKI
I'm honored.
COLLEGE GIRL 2
Ask him.
COLLEGE GIRL 1
Hi. Would you mind taking a picture
with us?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 16.
THOR
Sure.
(to Loki
Start figuring out where he is.
COLLEGE GIRL 1
Oh, my god.
COLLEGE GIRL 2
Sorry to hear that Jane dumped you.
THOR
She didn't dump me, you know. I
dumped her. It was a mutual
dumping.
Thor notices something going on around Loki.
THOR (CONT'D)
What's this, what are you doing!?
Loki looks down to see that the sidewalk has started to GLOW
BENEATH HIM! A circle of ancient symbols.
LOKI
This... isn't me.
WHOOMPF! Loki DROPS out of sight, vanishing through solid
concrete! Thor sees a CARD on the sidewalk where Loki was.
Thor pokes the business card.
THOR
Loki?
He picks up the card. It reads:
177A Bleecker Street
Thor picks up the card and - WHOOSH!
18 EXT. SANCTUM SANTORUM - DAY 18
Thor approaches 177A Bleecker Street.
He knocks ONCE, TWICE, and then WHOOSH!
19 INT. SANCTUM SANCTORUM UPSTAIRS PARLOR - CONTINUOUS 19
Thor is suddenly inside Doctor Strange's lair!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 17.
STRANGE (O.S.)
Thor Odinson.
From a dark corner we glimpse a shape - DOCTOR STRANGE.
Levitating, he drifts towards Thor.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
God of Thunder.
Thor holds up the ratty umbrella, ready to defend himself.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
You can put down the umbrella.
Thor gives Strange a sideways look but then sets his umbrella
down. When he looks back up, the environment is furnished.
THOR
So earth has wizards now?
STRANGE
The preferred term is "Master of
the Mystic Arts."
THOR
Alright wizard, who are you? Why
should I care?
STRANGE
My name is Doctor Stephen Strange
and I have some questions for you.
Take a seat.
Thor and Strange are now sitting in high-backed chairs.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
Tea?
Thor now has a cup of tea in his hand.
THOR
I don't drink tea.
STRANGE
What do you drink?
THOR
Not tea.
Thor now has a stein of beer in his hand. He drinks it
throughout the scene, but it always stays full.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 18.
STRANGE
So I keep a watch list of
individuals and beings from other
realms that may be a threat to this
world. Your adopted brother Loki
is one of these beings.
THOR
He's a worthy inclusion.
STRANGE
Then why bring him here?
THOR
We're looking for my father.
STRANGE
So. If you were to tell you where
Odin was, all parties concerned
would promptly return to Asgard?
THOR
Promptly.
DR. STRANGE
Great. Then I'll help you.
THOR
If you knew where he was, why
didn't you call me?
DR. STRANGE
I have to tell you, he was adamant
that he not be disturbed. Your
father said he had chosen to remain
in exile.
(beat)
And you don't have a phone.
THOR
No, I don't have a phone, but you
could have sent an electronic
letter. It's called an email.
STRANGE
Yeah, do you have a computer?
THOR
No. What for?
(beat)
Anyway, my father is no longer in
exile. So if you could tell me
where he is, I can take him home.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 19.
DR. STRANGE
Gladly. He's in Norway.
Strange stands up and suddenly they are standing by a book-
case. Strange takes down an ancient book, flips through it.
STRANGE
I'm just seeing whether this
incantation requires any Asgardian
modifications.
Thor reaches out to the bookcase to steady himself.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
Nope.
Suddenly they are both across the room at Strange's work
station. Because Thor was touching the bookcase, he has
magically brought it across the room as well.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
Oh, we don't need that.
Suddenly Thor is back across the room. Books fall off the
shelf and Thor's beer spills.
He is queasy and unsteady from the teleporting.
THOR
Will you stop doing that?
STRANGE
I need just one strand of your
hair.
THOR
Let me explain something, my hair
is not to be meddled wi-!
Strange is behind Thor, he plucks a strand of hair.
Strange extends the hair, infuses it with magic, does a few
gestures that create a BRIGHT LIGHT and suddenly-
A20 INT. SANCTUM SANCTORUM - FRONT STAIRCASE - CONTINUOUS A20
Bottom of the stairs. Strange is standing. Thor is rolling
down the stairs. A magic portal leading into a peaceful
meadow has opened beside Strange.
THOR
We could have just walked.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 20.
DR. STRANGE
(re: the portal)
He's waiting for you.
THOR
All right.
STRANGE
Don't forget your umbrella.
THOR
Yes.
Thor extends his arm and holds out his hand. Crashing noises
are heard. Lots of crashing noises.
THOR (CONT'D)
Sorry
Finally the umbrella flies into his hand.
THOR (CONT'D)
I suppose I'll need my brother
back.
DR. STRANGE
Yeah, right.
Suddenly we hear SCREAMING.
From above, LOKI drops out of a portal. He LANDS HARD on the
floor and then STAGGERS to his feet. On edge, confused.
LOKI
...I have been falling...for thirty
minutes!
DR. STRANGE
(to Thor
You can handle him from here.
THOR
Yeah of course.
(they shake hands)
Thank you very much for your help.
STRANGE
Good luck.
LOKI
Handle me? Who are you?
THOR
Loki.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 21.
Loki DRAWS a dagger, ready to attack Strange.
LOKI

sorcerer? Don't think for one

Bye-bye.
Strange GESTURES with both hands and-
-WHOOSH! PULLS the magic portal over them.
Just like that, Thor and Loki are gone.

Beautiful, undisturbed nature. We hear the ocean nearby.
LOKI lands on the ground, portal closes behind them.
THOR

A lone figure stands at the other side of the meadow at the
cliff's edge, waves CRASHING below.
It is ODIN. He's dressed plainly in humble human clothes.
The boys approach him quickly.
ODIN
Look at this place. It's beautiful.
THOR
Father, it's us.
ODIN
My sons. I've been waiting for
you.
Loki is surprised to hear Odin call him his son.
THOR
I know. We've come to take you
home.
ODIN
Home, yes. Your mother, she calls
me. Do you hear it?
Thor fires a look at Loki, who holds up his hands in defense.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 22.
THOR
Loki, lift your magic.
Odin turns to Loki, who stiffens. But Odin smiles.
ODIN
Took me quite a while to break free
from your spell. Frigga would have
been proud.
Loki is moved by this gesture. He looks over to see Thor
staring at him, anger building.
Odin puts a hand on Thor's shoulder, calming him.
ODIN (CONT'D)
Come and sit with me. I don't have
much time.
Odin sits, out of breath, weak. His sons sit beside him.
THOR
I know that we failed you, but we
can make this right.
ODIN
I failed you.
(beat)
It is upon us...Ragnarok.
THOR
No, I've stopped Ragnarok. I put
an end to Surtur.
ODIN
No. It has already begun. She's
coming. My life was all that held
her back, but my time has come. I
cannot keep her away any longer.
THOR
Father, who are you talking about?
ODIN
The Goddess of Death. Hela. My
first born.
(faces Thor)
Your sister.
That hits Thor hard. Loki can't believe what he's hearing.
THOR
...what?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 23.
ODIN
Her violent appetites grew beyond
my control. I couldn't stop her,
so I imprisoned her. Locked her
away. She draws her strength from
Asgard...and once she gets there,
her powers will be limitless.
THOR
Whatever she is, we can stop her.
We can face her together.
ODIN
(takes Thor's hand)
No we won't. I'm on a different
path now. This you must face
alone.
Odin looks into Thor's eyes, struggling to breathe.
ODIN (CONT'D)
I love you my sons.
For the briefest of instances, father and sons share a quiet
moment together. Tears well in Thor's eyes.
ODIN (CONT'D)
Look at that.
Ethereal sun-rays stream down upon the ocean.
ODIN (CONT'D)
Remember this place. Home.
A warm glow washes over Thor's face and he turns to see that-
-ODIN IS DISSIPATING INTO STARDUST. THE ALLFATHER HAS DIED.
A moment as the brothers separately mourn for Odin.
The sky above DARKENS and THE WIND PICKS UP.
Thor stands and turns toward Loki, his eyes burning with
rage. Loki takes a step back.
LOKI
Brother.
Thor faces Loki. Electricity CRACKLES at Thor's hands.
THOR
This was your doing.
CRACK! Behind them a black portal SPLITS OPEN!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 24.
Thor SLAMS DOWN his umbrella, transforming into his Asgardian
armor (with Mjolnir). Loki changes into his armor as well.
A piercing scream cuts the air as a figure is hurtled out of
the portal, crashing out of this dimensional rift is HELA.
Hela takes a second to consider her surroundings. Then:
HELA
So he's gone?
(beat)
That's a shame. I would've liked
to have seen that.
A tense moment as they stare each other down.
THOR
You must be Hela. I'm Thor, son of
Odin.
HELA
Really, you don't look like him.
LOKI
Perhaps we can reach an
arrangement.
HELA
You sound like him.
Loki shifts nervously. Thor's grip tightens on Mjolnir.
HELA (CONT'D)
Kneel.
LOKI
Beg your pardon?
Hela MANIFESTS a pitch black blade.
HELA
Kneel...before your Queen.
THOR
I don't think so.
Thor winds up and HURLS Mjolnir at Hela...
- THUD - the mighty hammer comes to a cold stop, against
Hela's hand.
Thor is shocked. He stretches out his hands, trying to call
Mjolnir back to him.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 25.
The hammer trembles in Hela's hand, like a mini game of tug-o-
war. But ultimately Hela keeps possession.
THOR (CONT'D)
It's not possible.
HELA
Darling, you have no idea what's
possible.
HELA SHATTERS THOR'S HAMMER.
The blast of Mjolnir's destruction sends a wave of energy
through Thor and Loki who brace themselves against the
impact.
Thor is stupefied. In shock. He looks up to see Hela is
running her hands back over her head to create the terrifying
battle headdress.
Loki's reaction is more panic. He stands and calls up:
LOKI
Bring us back!
THOR
No!!
Hela CHARGES Thor and Loki as-
-WHOOSH! The Bi-Frost envelopes all of them.
22 INT. BI-FROST - CONTINUOUS 22
Thor and Loki ZOOM UPWARDS, held inside this celestial beam
warping them towards Asgard. Loki and Thor look down to
see... Hela is in the Bi-Frost, behind them and CATCHING UP.
Loki turns and throws TWO DAGGERS at her. They find their
mark, stalling her for a second. But she PLOWS RIGHT THROUGH
Loki, KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE BI-FROST. Gone in an instant.
THOR
Loki!
Hela projects a jet black grappling hook and GRABS HOLD of
Thor. Drawing him to her, preparing to finish him off. Thor
pulls up his legs, and KICKS Hela with both feet. This
effectively dislodges him from her grasp but also...
...KNOCKS THOR OUT OF THE BI-FROST! Now both he and Loki are
gone. If they aren't dead, then God knows where they went.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 26.
23 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - CONTINUOUS 23
VOLSTAGG has a grip on Heimdall's sword, manning Bi-Frost's
controls. Behind him FANDRAL is overseeing Skurge, who is
mopping up the dragon guts.
BOOM! Hela emerges with thunderous impact. Fandral and
Volstagg draw their weapons, preparing to engage.
VOLSTAGG
Who are you!? What have you done
with Thor?
Hela fires TWO BLACK DAGGERS, each one dropping its target to
the ground. Hela then walks forward and-
HELA
I'm Hela.
-BRUTALLY KILLS FANDRAL AND VOLSTAGG!
Hela sees Skurge. Approaches calmly, a vision of death.
With Hela only a few feet from him, Skurge cowers. Pause.
SKURGE
I'm just a janitor.
Skurge ever-so-slightly peers up at her.
HELA
You look like a smart boy with good
survival instincts. How would you
like a job?
Hela looks out upon Asgard as Skurge rises behind her.
24 EXT. ASGARD - THE MOUNTAINS - SAME 24
A mysterious HOODED FIGURE watches Hela's arrival at the
Observatory and begins a steady descent towards the city.
25 EXT. SAKAAR - THE WASTELAND SHORE - DAY 25
SUPER WIDE: A sky full of WORMHOLES. Thor, only a spec at
this distance, SHOOTS out of one of these wormholes. He HITS
the surface, causing a CLOUD of dust.
Find Thor on his back surrounded by strange colorful space
wreckage. Looking up, Thor sees a large metal object falling
from a different wormhole! He rolls out of the way. THUD!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 27.
Thor runs up a dune to get away from the shower of debris.
Thor reaches the top of the dune and finds himself looking
down on A BEACH in a strange WASTELAND. Camera scans a filthy
dune littered with SPACE JUNK.
Out across the OCEAN he notices A NIGHTMARE WORMHOLE - a
giant open cylinder of whirling smoke and lightning storms.
A loud noise draws Thor's attention to a HUGE RECTANGULAR
"SCRAPPER" SHIP hauling a crashed SPACE VESSEL out of the
water. Beneath the ship are various SCRAPPERS, masked
humanoids. The ship is BLASTING WEIRD ALIEN MUSIC.
A Scrapper notices Thor, then signals to his crew.
LEAD SCRAPPER
Are you a fighter or are you food?
THOR
I'm just passing through.
LEAD SCRAPPER
It is food. On your knees.
Thor reaches out to summon Mjolnir. A reflex. Nothing.
The LEAD SCRAPPER levels a MAGNO-RIFLE at Thor and WHAP! A
solid metal projectile KNOCKS Thor flat on his back. More
Scrappers attack, throwing nets and firing more projectiles.
Thor tries to swat them away but they keep coming. The rest
of the scrappers move in with iron bats and clubs.
WHOOSH! A second ship arrives, landing nearby. It's cool,
sleek, and dangerous, deserving of its name: WARSONG. It is
also BLASTING DIFFERENT WEIRD ALIEN MUSIC.
The FRONT of Warsong FLIPS OPEN and a GANGPLANK extends down
to the ground. The scrappers stop and stare as we TRACK IN to
a HERO REVEAL of SCRAPPER #142 (S142 for short) - a beautiful
and ruthless asskicker.
S142 lifts a half-empty bottle to her lips and CHUGS it. She
finishes the bottle and smashes it on the side of her ship.
SCRAPPER #142
He's MINE.
She walks down the gangplank... before veering off course and
FALLING straight off into a pile of TRASH. She's PLASTERED.
The Scrappers shrug and start hauling Thor away.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 28.
SCRAPPER #142 (CONT'D)
Wait!
S142 staggers to her feet, takes a deep breath. She holds on
to a piece of junk as support - some dead beast. Thor
continues to struggle with his captors, tangled in nets.
SCRAPPER #142 (CONT'D)
Wait! He's mine. So if you want
him, you go through me.
The Scrappers start brandishing their weapons.
SCRAPPER
But we've already got him.
S142 CLANGS her metal gauntlets together which activate.
SCRAPPER #142
Alright then I guess I go through
you.
LEAD SCRAPPER
More food.
She holds out her fists as if she's operating machinery...
...Warsong WHIRS to life. S142 clenches her fists and we hear
a horrible SCREECHING NOISE as Warsong OPENS FIRE.
She sweeps her arms out in an arc, the spray of gunfire
lasting THREE SECONDS. She bangs her fists again, sending the
ship into IDLE MODE. The Scrappers are now little more than
tiny pieces of litter covering the beach.
Thor is fixated on this beautiful murderer approaching. One
final HUGE Scrapper comes at her with a bat. S142 casually
GRABS this Scrapper and HURLS him up into the air behind her.
THOR
Thank you.
From her belt S142 FLICKS a small glowing disc which LODGES
into Thor's NECK. Far in the background, the Scrapper she
threw finally HITS the ground with a loud THUD.
She holds up a fob device and presses the button - the disc
blinks and Thor is filled with the pain of a thousand
screaming squirrels. He hits the ground, stunned.
S142 DRAGS Thor towards her ship.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 29.
30 INT. WARSONG SHIP - DAY 30
Thor's face SMUSHED up against glass. His eyes are open.
Thor's POV - THE CAPITAL - an eclectic city composed of
salvaged items from all over the universe.
Thor is lying in a sort of small GLASS HOLDING CELL beneath
Warsong's COCKPIT. He looks up to see S142 piloting the ship.
Thor's eyes lock in on her belt, specifically the fob device
she used to activate the Obedience Disk/debilitate him.
SCRAPPER #142
This is Scrapper 142. I need
clearance and an audience with the
boss. I've got something special.
THOR
Hey! Where are you taking me?
S142 ignores him, takes a swig from the bottle, and then
nonchalantly UNCLIPS the fob from her belt.
THOR (CONT'D)
Answer me! Hey! I am Thor, son of
Odin. I need to get back to
Asgard.
SCRAPPER #142
Many apologies, your majesty.
S142 ZAPS him and guides her ship towards a COLOSSAL TOWER.
26 EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF ASGARD - DAY 26
CLOSE ON: Hela, headdress retracted, hair down, her beautiful
face fully visible. We do not see who she is talking to.
HELA
It's come to my attention that you
don't know who I am.
REVEAL THE ARMIES OF ASGARD FACING DOWN HELA.
Standing in front is HOGUN, sword and shield out.
HELA (CONT'D)
I am Hela, Odin's first born,
Commander of the legions of Asgard,
the rightful heir to the throne,
and the Goddess of Death.

HEAT AS WE TILT UP TO SEE-
-FIRE. NOTHING BUT FIRE.
2 INT. TIGHT SPACE - INDETERMINATE TIME 2
Dark and cramped. The soft red light of fire seeps through
iron slats. Inside this cage is a man, bound by chains.
It's THOR. His beard is long and his clothes are worn. That
rough, grizzled look of a man who's spent years on the road.
He awakens with a JOLT. Looks around.
THOR
Now I know what you're thinking.
Oh no! Thor's in a cage. How did
this happen?
(then
Well, sometimes you have to get
captured just to get a straight
answer out of somebody. It's a long
story but basically I'm a bit of a
hero. See, I spent some time on
earth, fought some robots, saved
the planet a couple of times. Then
I went searching through the cosmos
for some magic, colorful Infinity
Stone things... didn't find any.
That's when I came across a path of
death and destruction which led me
all the way here into this cage...
where I met you.
Reveal that he's talking to a weird alien skeleton in chains.
THOR (CONT'D)
How much longer do you think we'll
be here?
NOISE. Sounds of metal gears TURNING.
Suddenly the bottom DROPS OUT! Thor PLUMMETS until - SHLINK!
Chains CINCH and abruptly halt his descent. Thor dangles six
feet off the ground. Pull back to reveal we are in-
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 2.
3 INT. SURTUR'S LAIR - CONTINUOUS 3
A cavernous space. The walls, floors, and ceilings are
molten rock, which has creepy glimmers of fire within it.
Stationed in the center is a volcanic rock throne, and
sitting in that throne is a charred demonic skeleton.
SURTUR (O.S.)
Thor, Son of Odin.
Thor's chain turns to reveal-
-SURTUR on his throne. Eighteen-feet-tall, flesh made of
fire, and demonic spiked horns on his skull.
THOR
Surtur. Son of a bitch...you're
still alive! I thought my father
killed you, like, half a million
years ago.
SURTUR
I cannot die. Not until I fulfill
my destiny and lay waste to your
home.
THOR
You know, it's funny you should
mention that because I've been
having these terrible dreams of
late. Asgard up in flames, falling
to ruins, and you Surtur are at the
center of all of them.
SURTUR
Then you have seen Ragnarok, the
fall of Asgard. The great prophecy--
THOR (O.S.)
Hang on. Hang on.
Reveal that Thor's chain is turning VERY SLOWLY.
THOR (CONT'D)
I'll be back around shortly. I
really feel like we were connecting
there.
After a beat, Thor rotates around to face Surtur.
THOR (CONT'D)
Okay, so, Ragnarok. Tell me about
that. Walk me through it.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 3.
SURTUR
My time has come. When my crown is
reunited with the Eternal Flame, I
shall be restored to my full might.
I will tower over the mountains and
bury my sword deep in Asgard's--
THOR
Oh, hang on. Give it a second.
Once again, Thor is turning VERY SLOWLY.
THOR (CONT'D)
I swear I'm not even moving, it's
just doing this on its own. I'm
really sorry.
(then
Okay, let me get this straight.
You're going to put your crown into
the Eternal Flame, and then you'll
suddenly grow as big as a house--
SURTUR
A mountain!
THOR
The Eternal Flame that Odin keeps
locked away on Asgard?
Surtur grins, evil.
SURTUR
Odin is not on Asgard. And your
absence has left the throne
defenseless.
That elicits a concerned look from Thor.
THOR
Okay, so where is it? This crown?
SURTUR
This is my Crown, the source of my
power.
Surtur points at the V-shaped horns on his head..
THOR
Oh, that's a crown? I thought it
was a big eyebrow.
SURTUR
It's a crown.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 4.
THOR
Anyway, it sounds like all I have
to do to stop Ragnarok is rip that
thing off your head.
Surtur stands up and approaches Thor, DRAGGING his sword.
SURTUR
But Ragnarok has already begun. You
cannot stop it. I am Asgard's
doom, and so are you. All will
suffer, all will burn.
Surtur steps forward and GRABS the chain above Thor's feet,
holding it so he and Thor are face to face.
THOR
That's intense. To be honest,
seeing you grow really big and set
fire to a planet would be quite the
spectacle. But it looks like I'm
going to have to go with option B
where I bust out of these chains,
knock that tiara off your head, and
stash it away in Asgard's vault.
SURTUR
You cannot stop Ragnarok. Why fight
it?
Behind his back, Thor opens his hand. Sending out the SOS.
THOR
Because that's what heroes do.
Nothing happens. Thor appears annoyed at himself.
THOR (CONT'D)
Wait, sorry. I didn't time that
right.
(pause)
And, now!
BOOM! Thor's hammer Mjolnir CRASHES through the wall!
Thor BREAKS FREE from his chains, GRABS Mjolnir, spins, and
flies a distance away. He FLINGS Mjolnir back at Surtur,
smashing the giant in the face. Mjolnir returns.
SURTUR
You have made a grave mistake,
Odinson.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 5.
THE WALLS COME ALIVE! A seemingly infinite swarm of FIRE
DEMONS rally to Surtur's aid.
THOR
I make grave mistakes all the time.
Everything seems to work out.
In the shadows, a massive FIRE DRAGON ROARS.
The fire demons SURGE FORWARD. Thor backs up, HAMMERING
AWAY. He then leaps back, SPRINGBOARDS off the wall, and-
-LANDS HARD, SLAMMING Mjolnir down. The resulting shockwave
KNOCKS BACK THE LEGION OF FIRE DEMONS.
The Fire Dragon STRAINS against a chain leash.
Thor is now facing off with Surtur. Surtur thrusts his hands
at Thor, generating a humongous PROJECTILE WALL OF FIRE!
Thor SPINS Mjolnir so fast that it creates a kind of SHIELD.
The God of Thunder and the Fire Giant engage in ferocious
hand-to-hand combat. Each landing power shots, sending
sparks of both fire and electricity into the air.
Thor SLIPS behind Surtur and TAKES OUT his knees. Thor then
LAUNCHES HIGH into the air and summons a HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT.
Descending hard, he uses all his power to-
-LOP SURTUR'S HEAD OFF OF HIS BODY! Surtur's body DEFLATES
and COLLAPSES into a heap of charred bones.
Thor straps the crowned skull to his back. He turns to find-
-the army of Fire Demons regrouping as reinforcements flood
in, filling the space to capacity. Recognizing the threat,
Thor thrusts Mjolnir above his head.
THOR (CONT'D)
Heimdall. I know it's been a while,
but I could use a fast exit!
Nothing. Thor just stands there as the Fire Demons advance.
THOR (CONT'D)
...Heimdall?
4 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - SAME 4
Heimdall is nowhere to be found. Instead, we meet SKURGE.
He's bald, strong, mean looking, a little eager to be liked.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 6.
At the moment, Skurge is entertaining two ASGARDIAN WOMEN.
SKURGE
Heimdall was an idiot. This job
should have made him rich. Now,
the job ain't easy, but it does
have its benefits. The Bi-Frost
gives me access to everything the
Nine Realms have to offer. I mean
it's all mine for the taking.
(beat)
Behold...my stuff.
Skurge has drawn their attention to a pile of weapons and
treasures he has stashed off to the side.
He hefts up two M-16 assault rifles, trying to play it cool.
SKURGE (CONT'D)
I'm particularly fond of these. I
pulled `em out of a place on
Midgard called Texas. I even named
them. Des and Troy. You see, when
you put them together...they
destroy.
5 INT. SURTUR'S LAIR - CONTINUOUS 5
Having expected to have been Bi-Frosted out of there, Thor is
OVERRUN BY THE GIANT WAVE OF FIRE DEMONS!
The Fire Dragon BREAKS FREE of its chain.
Realizing he's in trouble, Thor TAKES OFF, rocketing up to-
6 EXT. MUSPELHEIM - CONTINUOUS 6
Thor CRASHES out of the ground and LANDS on a craggy surface.
Disoriented and singed from the fire demon onslaught.
Thor's cloak is on fire, and he frantically PATS OUT the
flames. He picks up Mjolnir, holds it up once more. Nothing.
THOR
Heimdall, come on.
THE GROUND SHAKES! Like an earthquake. Thor backs up as the
ground begins to give way all around him. And then-
-THE FEARSOME FIRE DRAGON BURSTS OUT OF THE GROUND! The
dragon opens its tremendous jaws for an ear-splitting roar...
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 7.
...but Thor STUFFS Mjolnir into its mouth and lets go.
THUD! The hammer DROPS, pinning the beast down by its bottom
jaw. It THRASHES and GROWLS, trying to break free.
THOR (CONT'D)
Stay.
(looks up to the sky
I'm running short on--
Thor notices that all around him the ground is CRUMBLING like
a field of sinkholes giving way to more snarling Fire Demons!

Skurge continues showing off for the ladies.
THOR (O.S.)
Heimdall?
Behind Skurge the Bi-Frost starts MOVING. One of the women
notices the Bi-Frost glowing.
ASGARDIAN WOMAN
Skurge, is that important?
Skurge turns and notices the Bi-Frost activity.
SKURGE
You girls are in for a treat.
Angle on Heimdall's sword, which has been sloppily cast aside
in another pile of "stuff." Skurge hastily runs and grabs it.
10 EXT. MUSPELHEIM - CONTINUOUS 10
Thor is FLYING at top speed, but that dragon is right on his
heels! The fire demons LAUNCH flaming projectiles from below!
Thor looks back, genuinely nervous. The dragon is OPENING
its jaws to swallow Thor whole when-
-Suddenly Bi-Frost OPENS! The portal surrounds Thor and
engulfs the dragon's head! In an instant, they're gone.

MAIN TITLE
11 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - MOMENTS LATER 11
Skurge has plunged Heimdall's sword into Bi-Frost.
BOOM! Thor EXPLODES out of the portal along with the severed
head of the dragon! SPLAT! Blood and guts RAIN DOWN on
Skurge and the two women, DRENCHING them with purple gore.
The dragon's head SLIDES slowly across the floor, coming to
rest right in front of the women who are frozen in shock.
The women SHRIEK and rush out of the Observatory. Thor
meanwhile is clean and staggering back to his feet. He looks
up to Skurge, who is wiping dragon guts off of himself.
SKURGE
Girls!
(beat)
Well well, look who decided to pop
in. Thanks for scaring away my
company and drenching my workplace
in brains.
THOR
Who are you?
SKURGE
Don't you remember? I'm Skurge.
(Thor doesn't)
We fought together on Vanaheim.
THOR
Right. Where's Heimdall?
SKURGE
That traitor. No one knows, he's a
fugitive of the throne.
THOR
Traitor?
SKURGE
Yeah, you see, Odin charged
Heimdall with negligence of duty,
but he disappeared before the
trial. Hard to catch a guy who can
see everything in the Universe.
Thor starts to say something, but then gives up. Instead he
starts towards the exit... but Skurge stands in his way.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 9.
THOR
Sure.
SKURGE
Hold on. I'm supposed to announce
your arrival.
Thor SPINS UP Mjolnir and takes off in a blur. Skurge starts
the loooong run down the Rainbow Bridge.
12 OMITTED 12
A13 EXT. THEATER ENTRANCE - DAY A13
THOR arrives with Surtur's skull.
There's a small crowd making its way through a threshold over
which stands a monumental statue of Loki, arms out-stretched
in the `savior' pose.
Confused, Thor turns to a theater patron.
THOR
What the hell is that?
13 EXT. ASGARD - ROYAL TERRACE - PATIO - MOMENTS LATER 13
LOKI falls into frame, GASPING FOR BREATH... although it's
not Loki. This is ACTOR LOKI and we're watching a STAGE PLAY.
In the background, a single musician plays the haunting score
from THOR: THE DARK WORLD on a pan flute.
Suddenly, ACTOR THOR leans into shot, holding Actor Loki.
ACTOR LOKI
Oh, brother. This is it. I take
my leave.
ACTOR THOR
You fool, you didn't listen!
ACTOR LOKI
I'm sorry.
ACTOR THOR
Lady Sif! Get help!
"Sif" awkwardly runs off. The "Warriors Three" watch sadly. A
small choir JOINS IN as the music builds to a CRESCENDO.
ACTOR SIF
Somebody help!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 10.
In the middle of the audience we reveal ODIN, sitting upon a
chaise lounge, sipping wine and thoroughly enjoying the show.
Unseen, Thor arrives behind the audience and watches.
ACTOR LOKI
Sorry for all I've done.
ACTOR THOR
It's all right. Hold on.
ACTOR LOKI
I'm sorry I tried to rule Earth.
ACTOR THOR
They'd be lucky to have you.
ACTOR LOKI
I'm sorry about that thing with the
Tesseract. I just couldn't help
myself.
ACTOR THOR
I know.
ACTOR LOKI
I'm a trickster.
ACTOR THOR
So mischievous.
ACTOR LOKI
Sorry about that time I turned you
into a frog.
ACTOR THOR
It was a wonderful joke.
ODIN
(to no-one in particular)
Twas indeed hilarious.
ACTOR THOR
You are the savior of Asgard.
ACTOR LOKI
Tell my story.
ACTOR THOR
I will.
ACTOR LOKI
Build a statue for me.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 11.
ACTOR THOR
We will build a big statue for you.
ACTOR LOKI
With my helmet on, with the big
bendy horns.
ACTOR THOR
I will tell Father what you did
here today.
Odin mouths Actor Loki's final line along with him.
ACTOR LOKI
I didn't do it for him.
Actor Loki then "dies".
ACTOR THOR
Noooooo!!!
The brothers freeze in a TABLEAU as ACTOR ODIN steps forward.
ACTOR ODIN
And so Loki died of his wounds,
giving his life for ours. He
fought back those disgusting dark
elves. He brought peace to the
realm.
He takes a 4-YEAR-OLD BOY, PAINTED BLUE, into his arms.
ACTOR ODIN (CONT'D)
Loki, my boy...`Twas many moons ago
I found you on a frost-bitten
battlefield.
Thor watches, incredulous. He then notices that a woman next
to him is openly SOBBING at the play.
ACTOR ODIN (CONT'D)
On that day, I did not yet see in
you Asgard's savior. No. You were
merely a little blue baby icicle...
that melted this old fool's heart.
The crowd erupts in rapturous applause. The players bow. Odin
stands up, leading the crowd in this STANDING OVATION.
ODIN
Bravo! Bravo! Well done. Bravo.
THOR
Father.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 12.
Odin sees Thor taking a knee. Curses under his breath:
ODIN
Oh, shit.
(then, announcing)
My son! Thor has returned!
Greetings my boy.
Odin goes through a weird internal transformation. His
fluidity is replaced by a rigid and regal posture. He bats
away his maiden and turns to Thor, who stands up.
THOR
It's an interesting play. What's
it called?
ODIN
The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard. The
people wanted to commemorate him.
THOR
Indeed they should.

I like that statue. A lot better
looking than he was when he was
alive, though. A little less
weasely. Less greasy maybe.
Odin sours, masking his agitation. Thor holds up the skull.
THOR (CONT'D)
You know what this is?
ODIN (ADR)
The skull of Surtur? That's a
formidable weapon.
Thor approaches an E-Guard and hands it over.
THOR
Do me a favor. Lock this in a
vault so it doesn't turn into a
giant monster and destroy the whole
planet.
ODIN
So it's back to Midgard for you, is
it?
Thor starts YO-YOing Mjolnir, turns back to Odin.
THOR
Nope. I've been having this
reocurring dream lately.

THOR (CONT'D)
Every night I see Asgard fall into
ruins...
ODIN
That's just a silly dream... Signs
of an overactive imagination.
THOR
Possibly... but then I decide to go
out there and investigate. And
what do I find, but the Nine Realms
completely in chaos. Enemies of
Asgard assembling, plotting our
demise, all while you, Odin, the
protector of those Nine Realms, are
sitting here in your bathrobe,
eating grapes.
ODIN
Well, it is best to respect our
neighbors' freedom.
THOR
Of course, the freedom to be
massacred.
ODIN
Yes, besides, I have been rather
busy myself.
THOR
Watching theatre.
ODIN
Board meetings, and security
council meetings...
THOR
You really going to make me do it?
ODIN
Do what?
Thor SPINS Mjolnir and then HURLS it off into the distance,
GRABS Odin by the back of the neck.
Odin's royal attendants GASP in shock. The Einherjar
bodyguards rush Thor, but he KICKS them away.
THOR
You know that nothing will stop
Mjolnir as it returns to my hand.
Mjolnir stops mid-air and starts ROCKETING BACK.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 14.
THOR (CONT'D)
Not even your face.
ODIN
You've gone quite mad. You'll be
executed for this!
Mjolnir approaches at a terrifying speed as Odin struggles.
THOR
Then I'll see you on the other
side...brother.
The jig is up. A shimmering illusion dissipates, revealing:
LOKI
Alright, I yield!
Thor DROPS Loki to the ground and catches Mjolnir. Loki
looks to Thor, hands up defensively. Skurge arrives on the
scene, a little late to warn Loki.
SKURGE
Behold! Thor..Odinson.
LOKI
You had one job! Just the one.
THOR
Where's Odin?
LOKI
You just couldn't stay away, could
you? Everything was fine without
you. Asgard was prospering
(gestures to the crowd)
You've ruined everything. Ask
them.
Those who aren't freaked out are becoming gradually angrier.
Thor advances on Loki, who backs up onto the chaise lounge.
THOR
Where's father? Did you kill him?
LOKI
You had what you wanted, you had
the independence you asked for!
Thor PRESSES Mjolnir onto Loki's chest.

A NURSING HOME sign on a brick wall. Suddenly the wall
crumbles out of shot, revealing a demolition site.
Reveal Thor and Loki wearing street clothes. Thor carries an
umbrella, Loki is dressed in a weird avant-garde suit.
LOKI
I swear, I left him right here.
THOR
Right here on the sidewalk? Or
right there, where the building
that's being demolished? Great
planning.
LOKI
How was I supposed to know? Can't
see into the future. I'm not a
witch.
THOR
Then why do you dress like one?
LOKI
Hey.
THOR
I can't believe you're alive. I saw
you die. I mourned you, I cried for
you.
LOKI
I'm honored.

Hi. Would you mind taking a picture

Start figuring out where he is.
COLLEGE GIRL 1
Oh, my god.
COLLEGE GIRL 2
Sorry to hear that Jane dumped you.
THOR
She didn't dump me, you know. I
dumped her. It was a mutual
dumping.
Thor notices something going on around Loki.
THOR (CONT'D)
What's this, what are you doing!?
Loki looks down to see that the sidewalk has started to GLOW
BENEATH HIM! A circle of ancient symbols.
LOKI
This... isn't me.
WHOOMPF! Loki DROPS out of sight, vanishing through solid
concrete! Thor sees a CARD on the sidewalk where Loki was.
Thor pokes the business card.
THOR
Loki?
He picks up the card. It reads:
177A Bleecker Street
Thor picks up the card and - WHOOSH!
18 EXT. SANCTUM SANTORUM - DAY 18
Thor approaches 177A Bleecker Street.
He knocks ONCE, TWICE, and then WHOOSH!

STRANGE (O.S.)
Thor Odinson.
From a dark corner we glimpse a shape - DOCTOR STRANGE.
Levitating, he drifts towards Thor.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
God of Thunder.
Thor holds up the ratty umbrella, ready to defend himself.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
You can put down the umbrella.
Thor gives Strange a sideways look but then sets his umbrella
down. When he looks back up, the environment is furnished.
THOR
So earth has wizards now?
STRANGE
The preferred term is "Master of
the Mystic Arts."
THOR
Alright wizard, who are you? Why
should I care?
STRANGE
My name is Doctor Stephen Strange
and I have some questions for you.
Take a seat.
Thor and Strange are now sitting in high-backed chairs.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
Tea?
Thor now has a cup of tea in his hand.
THOR
I don't drink tea.
STRANGE
What do you drink?
THOR
Not tea.
Thor now has a stein of beer in his hand. He drinks it
throughout the scene, but it always stays full.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 18.
STRANGE
So I keep a watch list of
individuals and beings from other
realms that may be a threat to this
world. Your adopted brother Loki
is one of these beings.
THOR
He's a worthy inclusion.
STRANGE
Then why bring him here?
THOR
We're looking for my father.
STRANGE
So. If you were to tell you where
Odin was, all parties concerned
would promptly return to Asgard?
THOR
Promptly.
DR. STRANGE
Great. Then I'll help you.
THOR
If you knew where he was, why
didn't you call me?
DR. STRANGE
I have to tell you, he was adamant
that he not be disturbed. Your
father said he had chosen to remain
in exile.
(beat)
And you don't have a phone.
THOR
No, I don't have a phone, but you
could have sent an electronic
letter. It's called an email.
STRANGE
Yeah, do you have a computer?
THOR
No. What for?
(beat)
Anyway, my father is no longer in
exile. So if you could tell me
where he is, I can take him home.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 19.
DR. STRANGE
Gladly. He's in Norway.
Strange stands up and suddenly they are standing by a book-
case. Strange takes down an ancient book, flips through it.
STRANGE
I'm just seeing whether this
incantation requires any Asgardian
modifications.
Thor reaches out to the bookcase to steady himself.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
Nope.
Suddenly they are both across the room at Strange's work
station. Because Thor was touching the bookcase, he has
magically brought it across the room as well.
STRANGE (CONT'D)
Oh, we don't need that.
Suddenly Thor is back across the room. Books fall off the
shelf and Thor's beer spills.
He is queasy and unsteady from the teleporting.
THOR
Will you stop doing that?
STRANGE
I need just one strand of your
hair.
THOR
Let me explain something, my hair
is not to be meddled wi-!
Strange is behind Thor, he plucks a strand of hair.
Strange extends the hair, infuses it with magic, does a few
gestures that create a BRIGHT LIGHT and suddenly-
A20 INT. SANCTUM SANCTORUM - FRONT STAIRCASE - CONTINUOUS A20
Bottom of the stairs. Strange is standing. Thor is rolling
down the stairs. A magic portal leading into a peaceful
meadow has opened beside Strange.
THOR
We could have just walked.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 20.
DR. STRANGE
(re: the portal)
He's waiting for you.
THOR
All right.
STRANGE
Don't forget your umbrella.
THOR
Yes.
Thor extends his arm and holds out his hand. Crashing noises
are heard. Lots of crashing noises.
THOR (CONT'D)
Sorry
Finally the umbrella flies into his hand.
THOR (CONT'D)
I suppose I'll need my brother
back.
DR. STRANGE
Yeah, right.
Suddenly we hear SCREAMING.
From above, LOKI drops out of a portal. He LANDS HARD on the
floor and then STAGGERS to his feet. On edge, confused.
LOKI
...I have been falling...for thirty
minutes!
DR. STRANGE
(to Thor
You can handle him from here.
THOR
Yeah of course.
(they shake hands)
Thank you very much for your help.
STRANGE
Good luck.
LOKI
Handle me? Who are you?
THOR
Loki.

Loki DRAWS a dagger, ready to attack Strange.
LOKI

Bye-bye.
Strange GESTURES with both hands and-
-WHOOSH! PULLS the magic portal over them.
Just like that, Thor and Loki are gone.

21 EXT. CLIFFS - DAY 21
Beautiful, undisturbed nature. We hear the ocean nearby.
LOKI lands on the ground, portal closes behind them.
THOR
Father?
A lone figure stands at the other side of the meadow at the
cliff's edge, waves CRASHING below.
It is ODIN. He's dressed plainly in humble human clothes.
The boys approach him quickly.
ODIN
Look at this place. It's beautiful.
THOR
Father, it's us.
ODIN
My sons. I've been waiting for
you.
Loki is surprised to hear Odin call him his son.
THOR
I know. We've come to take you
home.
ODIN
Home, yes. Your mother, she calls
me. Do you hear it?
Thor fires a look at Loki, who holds up his hands in defense.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 22.
THOR
Loki, lift your magic.
Odin turns to Loki, who stiffens. But Odin smiles.
ODIN
Took me quite a while to break free
from your spell. Frigga would have
been proud.
Loki is moved by this gesture. He looks over to see Thor
staring at him, anger building.
Odin puts a hand on Thor's shoulder, calming him.
ODIN (CONT'D)
Come and sit with me. I don't have
much time.
Odin sits, out of breath, weak. His sons sit beside him.
THOR
I know that we failed you, but we
can make this right.
ODIN
I failed you.
(beat)
It is upon us...Ragnarok.
THOR
No, I've stopped Ragnarok. I put
an end to Surtur.
ODIN
No. It has already begun. She's
coming. My life was all that held
her back, but my time has come. I
cannot keep her away any longer.
THOR
Father, who are you talking about?
ODIN
The Goddess of Death. Hela. My
first born.
(faces Thor)
Your sister.
That hits Thor hard. Loki can't believe what he's hearing.
THOR
...what?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 23.
ODIN
Her violent appetites grew beyond
my control. I couldn't stop her,
so I imprisoned her. Locked her
away. She draws her strength from
Asgard...and once she gets there,
her powers will be limitless.
THOR
Whatever she is, we can stop her.
We can face her together.
ODIN
(takes Thor's hand)
No we won't. I'm on a different
path now. This you must face
alone.
Odin looks into Thor's eyes, struggling to breathe.
ODIN (CONT'D)
I love you my sons.
For the briefest of instances, father and sons share a quiet
moment together. Tears well in Thor's eyes.
ODIN (CONT'D)
Look at that.
Ethereal sun-rays stream down upon the ocean.
ODIN (CONT'D)
Remember this place. Home.
A warm glow washes over Thor's face and he turns to see that-
-ODIN IS DISSIPATING INTO STARDUST. THE ALLFATHER HAS DIED.
A moment as the brothers separately mourn for Odin.
The sky above DARKENS and THE WIND PICKS UP.
Thor stands and turns toward Loki, his eyes burning with
rage. Loki takes a step back.
LOKI
Brother.
Thor faces Loki. Electricity CRACKLES at Thor's hands.
THOR
This was your doing.
CRACK! Behind them a black portal SPLITS OPEN!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 24.
Thor SLAMS DOWN his umbrella, transforming into his Asgardian
armor (with Mjolnir). Loki changes into his armor as well.
A piercing scream cuts the air as a figure is hurtled out of
the portal, crashing out of this dimensional rift is HELA.
Hela takes a second to consider her surroundings. Then:
HELA
So he's gone?
(beat)
That's a shame. I would've liked
to have seen that.
A tense moment as they stare each other down.
THOR
You must be Hela. I'm Thor, son of
Odin.
HELA
Really, you don't look like him.
LOKI
Perhaps we can reach an
arrangement.
HELA
You sound like him.
Loki shifts nervously. Thor's grip tightens on Mjolnir.
HELA (CONT'D)
Kneel.
LOKI
Beg your pardon?
Hela MANIFESTS a pitch black blade.
HELA
Kneel...before your Queen.
THOR
I don't think so.
Thor winds up and HURLS Mjolnir at Hela...
- THUD - the mighty hammer comes to a cold stop, against
Hela's hand.
Thor is shocked. He stretches out his hands, trying to call
Mjolnir back to him.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 25.
The hammer trembles in Hela's hand, like a mini game of tug-o-
war. But ultimately Hela keeps possession.
THOR (CONT'D)
It's not possible.
HELA
Darling, you have no idea what's
possible.
HELA SHATTERS THOR'S HAMMER.
The blast of Mjolnir's destruction sends a wave of energy
through Thor and Loki who brace themselves against the
impact.
Thor is stupefied. In shock. He looks up to see Hela is
running her hands back over her head to create the terrifying
battle headdress.
Loki's reaction is more panic. He stands and calls up:
LOKI
Bring us back!
THOR
No!!
Hela CHARGES Thor and Loki as-
-WHOOSH! The Bi-Frost envelopes all of them.
22 INT. BI-FROST - CONTINUOUS 22
Thor and Loki ZOOM UPWARDS, held inside this celestial beam
warping them towards Asgard. Loki and Thor look down to
see... Hela is in the Bi-Frost, behind them and CATCHING UP.
Loki turns and throws TWO DAGGERS at her. They find their
mark, stalling her for a second. But she PLOWS RIGHT THROUGH
Loki, KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE BI-FROST. Gone in an instant.
THOR
Loki!
Hela projects a jet black grappling hook and GRABS HOLD of
Thor. Drawing him to her, preparing to finish him off. Thor
pulls up his legs, and KICKS Hela with both feet. This
effectively dislodges him from her grasp but also...
...KNOCKS THOR OUT OF THE BI-FROST! Now both he and Loki are
gone. If they aren't dead, then God knows where they went.

mopping up the dragon guts.
BOOM! Hela emerges with thunderous impact. Fandral and
Volstagg draw their weapons, preparing to engage.
VOLSTAGG
Who are you!? What have you done
with Thor?
Hela fires TWO BLACK DAGGERS, each one dropping its target to
the ground. Hela then walks forward and-
HELA
I'm Hela.
-BRUTALLY KILLS FANDRAL AND VOLSTAGG!
Hela sees Skurge. Approaches calmly, a vision of death.
With Hela only a few feet from him, Skurge cowers. Pause.
SKURGE
I'm just a janitor.
Skurge ever-so-slightly peers up at her.

You look like a smart boy with good
survival instincts. How would you
like a job?
Hela looks out upon Asgard as Skurge rises behind her.

this distance, SHOOTS out of one of these wormholes. He HITS
the surface, causing a CLOUD of dust.
Find Thor on his back surrounded by strange colorful space
wreckage. Looking up, Thor sees a large metal object falling
from a different wormhole! He rolls out of the way. THUD!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 27.
Thor runs up a dune to get away from the shower of debris.
Thor reaches the top of the dune and finds himself looking
down on A BEACH in a strange WASTELAND. Camera scans a filthy
dune littered with SPACE JUNK.
Out across the OCEAN he notices A NIGHTMARE WORMHOLE - a
giant open cylinder of whirling smoke and lightning storms.
A loud noise draws Thor's attention to a HUGE RECTANGULAR
"SCRAPPER" SHIP hauling a crashed SPACE VESSEL out of the
water. Beneath the ship are various SCRAPPERS, masked
humanoids. The ship is BLASTING WEIRD ALIEN MUSIC.
A Scrapper notices Thor, then signals to his crew.
LEAD SCRAPPER
Are you a fighter or are you food?
THOR
I'm just passing through.
LEAD SCRAPPER
It is food. On your knees.
Thor reaches out to summon Mjolnir. A reflex. Nothing.
The LEAD SCRAPPER levels a MAGNO-RIFLE at Thor and WHAP! A
solid metal projectile KNOCKS Thor flat on his back. More
Scrappers attack, throwing nets and firing more projectiles.
Thor tries to swat them away but they keep coming. The rest
of the scrappers move in with iron bats and clubs.
WHOOSH! A second ship arrives, landing nearby. It's cool,
sleek, and dangerous, deserving of its name: WARSONG. It is
also BLASTING DIFFERENT WEIRD ALIEN MUSIC.
The FRONT of Warsong FLIPS OPEN and a GANGPLANK extends down
to the ground. The scrappers stop and stare as we TRACK IN to
a HERO REVEAL of SCRAPPER #142 (S142 for short) - a beautiful
and ruthless asskicker.
S142 lifts a half-empty bottle to her lips and CHUGS it. She
finishes the bottle and smashes it on the side of her ship.
SCRAPPER #142
He's MINE.
She walks down the gangplank... before veering off course and
FALLING straight off into a pile of TRASH. She's PLASTERED.
The Scrappers shrug and start hauling Thor away.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 28.
SCRAPPER #142 (CONT'D)
Wait!
S142 staggers to her feet, takes a deep breath. She holds on
to a piece of junk as support - some dead beast. Thor
continues to struggle with his captors, tangled in nets.
SCRAPPER #142 (CONT'D)
Wait! He's mine. So if you want
him, you go through me.
The Scrappers start brandishing their weapons.
SCRAPPER
But we've already got him.
S142 CLANGS her metal gauntlets together which activate.
SCRAPPER #142
Alright then I guess I go through
you.
LEAD SCRAPPER
More food.
She holds out her fists as if she's operating machinery...
...Warsong WHIRS to life. S142 clenches her fists and we hear
a horrible SCREECHING NOISE as Warsong OPENS FIRE.
She sweeps her arms out in an arc, the spray of gunfire
lasting THREE SECONDS. She bangs her fists again, sending the
ship into IDLE MODE. The Scrappers are now little more than
tiny pieces of litter covering the beach.
Thor is fixated on this beautiful murderer approaching. One
final HUGE Scrapper comes at her with a bat. S142 casually
GRABS this Scrapper and HURLS him up into the air behind her.
THOR
Thank you.
From her belt S142 FLICKS a small glowing disc which LODGES
into Thor's NECK. Far in the background, the Scrapper she
threw finally HITS the ground with a loud THUD.
She holds up a fob device and presses the button - the disc
blinks and Thor is filled with the pain of a thousand
screaming squirrels. He hits the ground, stunned.
S142 DRAGS Thor towards her ship.

Thor's POV - THE CAPITAL - an eclectic city composed of
salvaged items from all over the universe.
Thor is lying in a sort of small GLASS HOLDING CELL beneath
Warsong's COCKPIT. He looks up to see S142 piloting the ship.
Thor's eyes lock in on her belt, specifically the fob device
she used to activate the Obedience Disk/debilitate him.
SCRAPPER #142
This is Scrapper 142. I need
clearance and an audience with the
boss. I've got something special.
THOR
Hey! Where are you taking me?
S142 ignores him, takes a swig from the bottle, and then
nonchalantly UNCLIPS the fob from her belt.
THOR (CONT'D)
Answer me! Hey! I am Thor, son of
Odin. I need to get back to
Asgard.
SCRAPPER #142
Many apologies, your majesty.
S142 ZAPS him and guides her ship towards a COLOSSAL TOWER.

about Scrapper 142...what do I
always say? "She is the..." and it
starts with a B.
TOPAZ
Trash.
GRANDMASTER
No, not trash. Were you waiting
just to call her that? It doesn't
start with a "B."
TOPAZ
Booze hag.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 34.
GRANDMASTER
I'm so sorry. No, "best." I was
thinking about "best."
(to S142
Because I always say you're the
best. She brought me my precious
beloved Champion, you know.
TOPAZ
You say that every time she's here.
GRANDMASTER
What have you brought today? Tell
me.
SCRAPPER #142
A contender.
THOR
A what?
GRANDMASTER
I need to go closer. I want a
closer look at this. Can you take
us closer? Thank you.
Grandmaster advances on Thor. Examining him closely and
strangely. Then:
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Pay this lady.
THOR
Just wait a damn minute. I'm not
for sale.
Using all his might, Thor breaks out of his shackles, but-
-S142 ZAPS him again. Paralyzed by superheated veins.
GRANDMASTER
Man. He is a fighter.
SCRAPPER #142
I'd take 10 million.
TOPAZ
Tell her she's dreaming.
GRANDMASTER
For heaven's sake, transfer the
units.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 35.
Topaz transfers S142 the units. Without sympathy or ceremony,
S142 exits.
THOR
You'll pay for this!
SCRAPPER #142
No, I got paid for this.
Thor claws at the obedience disk, trying to RIP IT OUT.
He gets some separation from his skin, but the disk is
causing him even more pain. Thor eventually has to let go.
Grandmaster holds up HIS OWN fob device and uses it like a
wand to guide Thor's HOVER CHAIR, which follows Grandmaster
around as he speaks.
GRANDMASTER
Here's what I wanna know. Who are
you?
THOR
I am the God of THUNDER!!!
Thor THRUSTS his arms into the air but only a tiny bit of
static electricity POPS within Thor's hands.
GRANDMASTER
Wow. I didn't hear any thunder,
but out of your fingers, was that
like...sparkles?
TOPAZ
We located your cousin.
GRANDMASTER
Oh good!
(to Thor
Yeah, come on. I think you're gonna
like this.
Grandmaster moves Thor's chair to another section where-
-COUSIN CARLO is waiting. He's strapped to a chair like
Thor, and he is terrified.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
There he is. Hey, cuz. We almost
couldn't find you. What, have you
been hiding?
Cousin Carlo looks at Thor, cowering in fear.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 36.
THOR
Hi.
Carlo only further weeps.
GRANDMASTER
So...
COUSIN CARLO
Please. I'm sorry.
GRANDMASTER
Carlo... I pardon you.
COUSIN CARLO
Thank you. Thank you.
GRANDMASTER
You're officially pardoned...from
life.
Grandmaster casually takes Topaz's Sakaarian Guard staff and
JABS it into his cousin's mid-section-
-CAUSING ALL OF HIS FLESH TO MELT OFF HIS SKELETON!
Carlo SHRIEKS IN PAIN before his vocal cords melt. Thor
looks on, in shock.
THOR
Oh, my god!
Liquid Carlo spreads towards Grandmaster.
GRANDMASTER
I'm stepping in it. I'm stepping
in it. Look out!
THOR
(repulsed)
Oh, the smell.
GRANDMASTER
What does it smell like?
TOPAZ
Burnt toast.
GRANDMASTER
What happened to my manners? I
haven't properly introduced myself.
Come on. Follow me.
Grandmaster gives Topaz back her staff.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 37.
Grandmaster and Thor arrive at a space where A GROUP OF
MUSICIANS PLAY STRANGE INSTRUMENTS (the source of the music
thus far). Grandmaster joins them, still speaking to Thor.
Grandmaster begins PLAYING a strange piano-like contraption,
riffing a melody over the existing music.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
My name is Grandmaster. I preside
over a little harlequinade called
the Contest of Champions. People
come from far and wide to
unwillingly participate in it. And
you, my friend, might just be part
of the new cast. What do you say
to that?
THOR
We're not friends, and I don't give
a shit about your games! I'm going
back to Asgard!
GRANDMASTER
(amused)
Ass-gard?
(then
One, two, three, four.
Grandmaster really gets into his PLAYING. Grandmaster's
guards and VIP guests start MOVING TO THE MUSIC.
Thor takes a moment to look around at this bizarre spectacle
unfolding around him. In doing so, he zeroes in on one
particular group of VIPS, specifically...
...LOKI! He's lounging and dressed in Sakaarian garb.
LOKI
There was a wormhole in space and
time beneath me. At that moment, I
let go.
THOR
Loki!? Loki! Over here!
Loki notices Thor. Blanches a little. Sidles closer so as
to speak to Thor without looking like he's speaking to Thor.
LOKI
Excuse me one second.
THOR
Loki!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 38.
Loki hustles over to Thor, SHUSHING him.
LOKI
What? You're alive?
THOR
Yes, of course I'm alive.
LOKI
What are you doing here?
THOR
What do you mean, what am I doing?
I'm stuck in this stupid chair.
Where's your chair?
LOKI
I didn't get a chair.
THOR
Get me out of this one.
LOKI
I can't.
THOR
What?
LOKI
I've made friends with this man.
He's called the Grandmaster.
THOR
Oh, he's crazy!
LOKI
I've gained his favor.. The Bi-
Frost brought me out here weeks
ago.
THOR
Weeks ago? I just got here.
Suddenly Grandmaster is right next to them.
GRANDMASTER
What are you whispering about?
Both Thor and Loki react, startled.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Time works real different around
these parts.
(MORE)
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 39.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
On any other world, I'd be like,
millions of years old. But here on
Sakaar...
Grandmaster beholds himself. Then turns to Loki. A truly
uncomfortable silence.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
In any case, you know this... You
call yourself Lord of Thunder?
THOR
God of Thunder. Tell him.
LOKI
I've never met this man in my life.
THOR
He's my brother.
LOKI
Adopted.
GRANDMASTER
Is he any kind of a fighter?
Loki shrugs, gives the universal gesture for "so-so."
THOR
You take this thing out of my neck
and I'll show you.
GRANDMASTER
Now listen to that. He's
threatening me. Hey, Sparkles,
here's the deal. If you wanna get
back to Ass-place, Assberg...
THOR
Asgard.
GRANDMASTER
Any contender who defeats my
champion, their freedom they shall
win.
THOR
Fine. Then point me in the
direction of whoever's ass I have
to kick.
GRANDMASTER
That's what I call, contender!
Direction would be this way, Lord.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 40.
THOR
Loki!
Guards arrive. They haul Thor up and escort him out.
33 OMITTED 33
34 INT. THE ARENA - GLADIATOR CELLS - NIGHT 34
Thor is shoved into a spacious cell where other alien
prisoners are lurking in the back.
The thick cell door SLAMS SHUT behind Thor. Thor gets up and
immediately begins THROWING his shoulder into the door. The
door doesn't budge, not even a little.
Behind him, KORG, a hulking Kronan rock alien, speaks up.
KORG
Hey! Take it easy man!
(Thor looks back)
Over here. The pile of rocks
waving at you. Yeah I'm actually a
thing, I'm a being. Allow me to
introduce myself, my name is Korg.
I'm kind of like the leader in
here. I'm made of rocks, as you
can see, but don't let that
intimidate you. You don't need to
be afraid unless you're made of
scissors.
(GIGGLES to himself)
Just a little rock-paper-scissor
joke for you. This is my very good
friend over here, Miek. He's an
insect and has knives for hands.
MIEK, a slug alien inside a robot exoskeleton, says hello by
doing some karate moves.
THOR
You're a Kronan, aren't you?
KORG
That I am.
THOR
How'd you end up in here?
KORG
Well, I tried to start a revolution
but didn't print enough pamphlets,
so hardly anyone turned up.
(MORE)
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 41.
KORG (CONT'D)
Except for my mom and her
boyfriiend, who I hate. As
punishment, I was forced to be in
here and become a gladiator. Bit
of a promotional disaster.
(secretive)
But I'm actually organizing another
revolution. I don't know if you'd
be interested in something like
that. Do you reckon you'd be
interested?
Thor tries to run ahead down the circle and loops back around
behind Korg.
THOR
How did you...
KORG
Yeah, no. This whole thing is a
circle. But not a real circle,
more like a freaky circle.
THOR
This doesn't make any sense.
KORG
No, nothing makes sense here. The
only thing that does make sense, is
that nothing makes sense.
THOR
Has anyone here fought the
Grandmaster's Champion?
KORG
Doug has. Doug!
(realizes)
Oh, right, Doug's dead. That's
right. Everyone who fights the
Grandmaster's champion perishes.
THOR
What about you? You're made of
rocks.
KORG
Perishable rocks.
(a pebble FALLS OFF)
There you go. Another one gone.
Yeah, no, I just do the smaller
fights, warm up the crowd and
whatnot. Wait. You're not gonna
face him, are you?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 42.
THOR
Yes I am. Fight him, win, and get
the hell out of this place.
KORG
That's exactly what Doug used to
say. See you later, new Doug.
Korg walks away and approaches Miek.
A35 EXT. ASGARD - STREETS - SUNSET A35
The streets of Asgard are cold and silent, save for the
occasional distant sounds and screams of a city under siege.
35 OMITTED 35
A36 INT. THRONE ROOM - CONTINUOUS A36
Moving down the throne room corridor we see-
-SEVERAL DEAD EINHERJAR GUARDS.
One guy is still alive, desperately trying to crawl away.
SHLNK! A black blade finishes him off.
Reveal HELA and SKURGE looking down at the carnage.
Hela directs her attention to FRESCOS ON THE CEILING. Like
the Sistine Chapel, except these depict Asgard's shining
influence on the Nine Realms. Bountiful harvests, shepherds
with full flocks, common folk throwing parades for Asgard's
army, etc.
HELA
Does no one remember me?
(awaiting an answer)
Has no one been taught our history?
Look at these lies. Goblets and
garden parties? Peace treaties?
Hela leads them towards the throne.
HELA (CONT'D)
Odin... proud to have it... ashamed
of how he got it.
Hela FIRES SPIKES into the ceiling, RIPPING DOWN plaster.
Beneath the surface are older Frescos. These ones are far
more dark and sinister.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 43.
Soldiers in battle. Blood. A giant war wolf. Young Odin
and young Hela. Slaves building the palace.
Skurge is at least somewhat disturbed by this.
HELA (CONT'D)
We were unstoppable. I was his
weapon in the conquest that built
Asgard's empire. One by one, the
realms became ours.
Hela turns from the murals to address Skurge.
HELA (CONT'D)
But then, simply because my
ambition outgrew his...he banished
me, caged me, locked me away like
an animal. Before that, Asgard's
warriors were honored, their bodies
buried as heroes beneath this very
place.
Hela beckons Skurge to follow her.
B36 INT. ODIN'S VAULT - CONTINUOUS B36
Hela enters the vault and descends the stairs towards the
magical items.
SKURGE
Odin's treasures.
SKURGE follows her. Hela walks towards the Infinity Gauntlet.
HELA
Fake.
Hela KNOCKS the gauntlet off its pedestal.
HELA (CONT'D)
Most of the stuff in here is fake.
Next: The Casket of Ancient Winter.
HELA (CONT'D)
Or weak.
Next: Surtur's skull.
HELA (CONT'D)
Smaller than I thought it would be.
Next: The Tesseract. She hesitates:
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 44.
HELA (CONT'D)
That's not bad?
(notices
But this... The Eternal Flame.
THE ETERNAL FLAME flickers in its chalice.
Hela DIGS HER HAND INTO THE ETERNAL FLAME. She pulls her
hand out now cupping GREEN FIRE, like a torch.
Hela approaches a large circular RUNE ETCHING on the floor.
Hela manifests a huge CLAW HAMMER. She SMASHES THROUGH THE
RUNES ON THE FLOOR, creating a gaping chasm.
She looks at Skurge.
HELA (CONT'D)
Want to see what true power looks
like?
Hela looks down into the darkness below.
With her hand aflame, Hela JUMPS down into the chasm!
C36 INT. HIDDEN ASGARDIAN CATACOMBS - DAY C36
Hela LANDS like a bad ass.
Dust settles. The light of Hela's hand torch reveals a stone
crypt. An ornate burial place for the heroes of Old Asgard.
We can see countless rotted skeletons in badass ancient
Asgardian armor. Hela's regiment.
Among them, A MASSIVE WOLF'S SKELETON. TERRIFYING AND
MONSTROUS, COLOSSAL CHAINS AROUND THE BONES OF ITS PAWS.
FENRIS.
Hela approaches Fenris' skeleton.
HELA
Fenris. My darling, what have they
done to you?
She lifts her flaming hand above her head. She slams her hand
into the ground.
HELA (CONT'D)
With the Eternal Flame, you are
reborn!
The fire spreads out, covering Fenris and Hela's old army.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 45.
As the fire covers the skeletons, they SHUDDER TO LIFE.
HELA (CONT'D)
I've missed you. I've missed you
all.
HELA'S BUTCHERS, rise up before their commander.
ABOVE: Skurge looks down, worried.
BELOW: A sinister light returns to Fenris's eyes as he
stands proudly before his master, allowing her to pet the fur
of his terrifying face.
C36A INT. THE ARENA - GLADIATOR CELLS - NIGHT C36A
Thor sits against the wall. Quietly praying.
THOR
Odin, I bid you take your place in
the halls of Valhalla...

Where the brave shall live forever.
Nor shall we mourn but rejoice-
THOR (CONT'D) LOKI (O.S.)
-for those that have died the -for those that have died the
glorious death. glorious death.
Reveal Loki standing across the cell. Thor gives him a hard
look.
LOKI (CONT'D)
It hurts, doesn't it? Being lied
to. Being told you're one thing and
then learning it's all a fiction.
Thor picks up some stones that have fallen from Korg's leg
and casually starts throwing them through Loki's illusion.
LOKI (CONT'D)
You didn't think I'd really come
and see you, did you? This place
is disgusting.
Thor throws another stone through Loki.
LOKI (CONT'D)
Does this mean you don't want my
help?
Thor throws another stone through Loki.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 46.
LOKI (CONT'D)
Look, I couldn't jeopardize my
position with Grandmaster, it took
me time to win his trust. He's a
lunatic, but he can be amenable.
Thor throws another stone through Loki. Disinterested.
LOKI (CONT'D)
What I'm telling you is, you could
join me at the Grandmaster's side.
Perhaps, in time, an accident
befalls the Grandmaster, and
then...
Loki gestures: "we take over."
Thor throws another stone through Loki. Bored.
LOKI (CONT'D)
You're not seriously thinking of
going back, are you? Our sister
destroyed your hammer like a piece
of glass. She's stronger than both
of us. She's stronger than you.
You don't stand a chance. Do you
understand what I'm saying to you?
Thor just scowls.
LOKI (CONT'D)
Fine. I guess I'll just have to go
it alone. Like I've always done.
(Thor smirks)
Would you say something?
Now out of stones, Thor looks around the floor for more.
LOKI (CONT'D)
Say something!
Thor finally looks right at Loki, speaks fast and curt:
THOR
What would you like me to say? You
faked your own death, you stole the
throne, stripped Odin of his power,
stranded him on Earth...
(on Loki
-to die, releasing the Goddess of
Death.
(back to Thor

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 47.
THOR (CONT'D)
Have I said enough, or do you do
you want me to go further back than
the past two days?
Loki's eyes burn. Thor stares coldly at him. Loki tries to
compose himself.
LOKI
You know, I haven't seen this
Beloved Champion he talks of, but
I've heard he's astonishingly
savage. I've placed a large wager
against you tomorrow. Don't let me
down.
Loki SHIMMERS, and his illusion vanishes. Korg runs in to
try to kick him.
KORG
Piss off, ghost!
(then
He's freaking gone.
40 INT. THE ARENA - RECEIVING AREA 40
Thor, Korg, and a gaggle of other prisoners/fighters have
been led from their cells to a PRE-FIGHT HOLDING AREA.
Korg and Thor are by the weapons rack.
KORG
Yuck! There's Still someone's hair
and blood all over this. Guys, can
you clean up the weapons once you
finish your fight? Disgusting
slobs.
(then
Thor...wanna use a big wooden fork?
THOR
No.
KORG
Yeah, not really useful unless
you're fighting off three vampires
that were huddled together.
THOR
I really wish I had my hammer.
KORG
Hammer?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 48.
THOR
Quite unique. It was made from
this special metal from the heart
of a dying star. And when I spun
it really, really fast it gave me
the ability to fly.
KORG
You rode a hammer?
THOR
No, I didn't ride the hammer.
KORG
The hammer rode you on your back?
THOR
No. I used to spin it really fast,
and it would pull me off the...
KORG
Oh my God. The hammer pulled you
off?
THOR
The ground. It would pull me off
the ground, up into the air, and I
would fly. Every time I threw it,
it would always come back to me.
KORG
Sounds like you had a pretty
special and intimate relationship
wiht this hammer and that losing it
was almost comparable to losing a
loved one.
THOR
That's a nice way of putting it.
Thor spots S142 dealing at the bar. He's once again eyeing
the fob device clipped to her belt. Scowls.
SCRAPPER #142
I said they're mine.
THOR
See her, the one that put me in
here.
KORG
Yeah, Scrapper 142. She's strong.
And she drinks a lot.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 49.
KORG (CONT'D)
Gotta watch out for those
Asgardians, man. They are hard to
perish.
THOR
Asgardian?
Thor breaks away from the line and runs to S142.
THOR (CONT'D)
Hey! Hey!
S142 holds up the fob.
THOR (CONT'D)
Do not zap me with that thing. I
just wanna talk. Asgard is in
danger.
Thor then notices a series of PATTERNED SCARS, or BRANDS, on
her forearms. It's a moment of recognition and disbelief.
THOR (CONT'D)
My God, you're a Valkyrie. I used
to wanna be a Valkyrie when I was
younger...until I found out that
you were all women. There's
nothing wrong with women, of
course. I love women. Sometimes a
little too much. Not in a creepy
way, just more of a respectful
appreciation. I think it's great
that there is an elite force of
women warriors. It's about time.
SCRAPPER #142
Are you done?
WARDEN (O.S.)
Lord of Thunder, you're up.
THOR
Please, help me. I need your help.
SCRAPPER #142
Bye.
THOR
Fine, then you must be a traitor or
a coward because the Valkyrie are
sworn to protect the throne.
S142 finally turns her attention to Thor, intense.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 50.
SCRAPPER #142
Listen closely, your majesty. This
is Sakaar, not Asgard. And I'm a
scrapper, not a Valkyrie.
Guards swarm Thor, dragging him back
WARDEN (O.S.)
Bring him in for processing!
VALKYRIE
And no one escapes this place. So
you're gonna die anyway.
Despite her denial, Thor has clearly hit a nerve. And from
now on we will refer to Scrapper #142 as VALKYRIE.
Valkyrie takes her booze and walks away. Thor is dragged
away, passing Korg and the other prisoners.
40A INT. PROCESSING ROOM - DAY 40A
Thor is strapped to a chair. Reveal a weird alien BARBER
(Stan Lee cameo) holding up some rusty shears.
STAN LEE
Now, don't you move. My hands
ain't as steady as they used to be.
THOR
By Odin's beard, you shall not cut
my hair... lest you feel the wrath
of the might Thor.
Barber activates a menacing CUTTING TOOL. Thor freaks out.
THOR (CONT'D)
Please. Please, kind sir, do not
cut my hair! No!
40B INT. THE ARENA - NIGHT 40B
Hundreds of thousands of spectators packed into the stadium
seats. Dozens of starships are parked above the arena.
Find THE GRANDMASTER'S LUXURY SUITE, a VIP box attached to
the fighting area. The Golden Ladies are in attendance.
Loki lounges in the suite, taking wagers on the fight card.
Grandmaster walks out into the center of the arena. Suddenly-
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 51.
-THE GRANDMASTER GROWS TO 60-FEET TALL! This enlarged
projection of Grandmaster addresses the audience.
GRANDMASTER
Wow! Look at all of you. What a
show, WHAT-A-NIGHT! Who's having
fun? Please, I'm your host. Big
round of applause for all of our
undercard competitors... who died
so gruesomely. Good sports. What a
show! What a night! This is what
you've come for and so have I.
(applause)
And now, without further ado...
it's main event time!!
(INSANE APPLAUSE)
Making his first appearance, though
he looks quite promising, got a
couple of tricks up his sleeve.
I'll say no more, see what you
think. Ladies and gentlemen...
(LAUGHTER from the crowd)
I give to you...Lord of Thunder!
Enter Thor. Gladiator Thor. Shaved head, trimmed beard,
minimalist armor, covered in weapons. Two swords on his
back, giant mace in one hand, spiked shield in the other.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Watch out for his fingers. They
make sparks.
Thor looks up at the throngs of SCREAMING FANS. And then...
...puts on his helmet. A badass gladiator variation of his
classic winged helm. Thor is ready to rumble.
ABOVE: Find Valkyrie in her Warsong ship, parked amongst the
other tailgaters. She POPS open a bottle of booze. Drinks.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Okay, this is it. Let's get ready
to welcome this guy. Here he comes.
He is a creature. What can we say
about him? Well, he's unique.
There's none like him. I feel a
special connection with him.
Suddenly the floor beneath Thor's feet LOWERS. A slow,
tension-building GRIND as he sees-
-A DOOR across the arena. Bigger and bigger.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 52.
The entire crowd is on its feet. Palpable anticipation. The
spotlights change to bright stadium lights.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
He's undefeated. HE'S THE
REIGNING...HE'S THE DEFENDING...
Ladies and gentlemen... I give
you...
KA-BOOM! EXPLODING through a door is the Champion...
...THE INCREDIBLE HULK! He wears an armored shoulder guard
and a Spartan helmet. He carries a warhammer in one hand and
a battleaxe in the other. Hulk POUNDS his chest and ROARS,
further energizing an already frenzied crowd.
Meanwhile, the sight of Hulk makes Thor's arms drop to his
sides along with his jaw dropping to the ground. And then-
-Thor LAUGHS his ass off. Like, "that's my buddy over there!"
THOR
Yes!
IN THE VIP BOX: Loki goes ghost white. Traumatic memories of
being Hulk-smashed flood his brain. Gone is all his joy.
LOKI
I have to get off this planet.
Loki tries to exit, but the Grandmaster stops him.
GRANDMASTER
Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?
Grandmaster plops Loki down in the front row, right against
the glass. Loki casually tries to hide his face in his hand.
IN THE ARENA:
THOR
Hey! We know each other. He's a
friend from work.
(to Hulk
Where have you been? Everybody
thought you were dead. So much has
happened since I last saw you. I
lost my hammer. Like, yesterday,
so that's still pretty fresh.
(then
Loki! Loki's alive. Can you
believe it? He's up there.
(waves to Loki
Loki! Look who it is!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 53.
Loki is petrified.
THOR (CONT'D)
Banner, I never thought I would say
this, but I'm happy to see you.
IN THE ARENA: Hulk is still eyeballing Thor while the
capacity crowd CHANTS insanely for "HULK! HULK! HULK!"
THOR (CONT'D)
Banner. Hey, Banner!
Hulk's face grimaces and contorts, suppressing puny Banner.
HULK
NO BANNER! ONLY HULK!
Hulk CHARGES at Thor. Insanely fast.
THOR
What are you doing? It's me.
Thor DODGES the first few attacks, but then Hulk SHATTERS his
shield and sends Thor FLYING.
Thor draws a sword and STABS it into the ground to slow his
momentum. Draws the other sword and faces off against Hulk.
THOR (CONT'D)
Banner, we're friends. This is
crazy. I don't want to hurt you!
They engage again. Hulk KICKS Thor, sending him SLAMMING
into the wall.
GRANDMASTER
Here we go.
Thor jumps down just in time to avoid Hulk's warhammer, which
HITS so hard that it remains lodged in the wall.
With Hulk charging again, Thor RIPS the warhammer out of the
wall and WALLOPS Hulk with it.
Hulk goes CRASHING alongside the arena. He ends up sprawled
out in a pile of rubble, slightly dazed.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
What?
ABOVE: Val is watching through a set of high-tech
binoculars. She reacts to Thor, reluctantly impressed.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 54.
Thor advances on Hulk with all the swagger. He takes off his
helmet and CALLS OUT to Hulk, provoking him.
THOR
Hey, big guy. The sun's getting
real low.
Hulk takes off his helmet. Scowling. Teeth GRINDING.
THOR (CONT'D)
That's it. The sun's going down.
I won't hurt you anymore. No one
will.
WHOOSH! Thor is suddenly dragged out of frame. Hulk has
Thor by the leg and is WHIPPING him against the arena floor.
Over and over and over again.
IN THE VIP BOX: Loki's whole mood shifts. The joy returns to
his face, like "everything will be alright!" Loki LAUGHS.
LOKI
Yes! That's how it feels!
(to Grandmaster
I'm just a huge fan of the sport.
Thor is SMASHED into the floor face first.
Hulk ROARS and RUSHES Thor with his axe.
THOR
All right. Screw it.
CLANG! The giant weapons CLASH! Now Thor and Hulk are
fighting warhammer versus battleaxe...
...and Thor is winning! He's getting the better of these
exchanges, using Hulk's aggression against him. Thor
continually KNOCKS and/or TRIPS Hulk off his feet while
evading all of Hulk's best attacks.
THOR (CONT'D)
I know you're in there, Banner.
I'll get you out!
One particular vicious blow DISARMS Hulk, and Thor BREAKS
Hulk's axe with the warhammer. Thor then BASHES Hulk in the
chest, KNOCKING him to the ground.
THOR (CONT'D)
What's the matter with you? You're
embarrassing me! I told them we
were friends!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 55.
GROWLING, Hulk stands up and HITS Thor with a straight jab
that sends Thor TUMBLING across the arena. Hulk immediately
LEAPS after him and LANDS ON Thor!
Hulk is now on top of Thor as they slide across the arena,
just PUMMELING him with punches. Left-right-left-right.
Thor's head snaps back and forth.
In the carnage, Thor sees VISIONS OF ODIN. Then-
-his eyes GLOW WHITE WITH ELECTRICITY. Like an instinctual
defense mechanism, Thor suddenly KNOCKS HULK BACK WITH A
BURST OF LIGHTNING!
Seething with electricity, Thor springs to his feet and then
BLASTS HULK WITH A MASSIVE LIGHTNING PUNCH! Hulk is LAUNCHED
BACKWARDS and Thor hits the ground HARD.
CROWD
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!
KORG
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!
The crowd gets hushed. They've never seen this before.
IN THE VIP BOX: Grandmaster is pissed. Loki is amazed.
Hulk and Thor stagger to their feet. Thor looks at himself,
a little surprised. There are still small charges of
lightning CRACKLING through his veins.
Meanwhile, Hulk RUMBLES towards Thor and they're at it again,
close-quarters boxing. Thor is winning the exchanges,
landing BRUTAL PUNCHES to Hulk's body. And then suddenly-
-BZZZ! The Grandmaster ZAPS him with the Obedience Disk fob!
Thor drops, totally caught off guard!
Hulk plants his feet and JUMPS! He ZOOMS UP, rocketing out
of the arena, up-up-up into the sky! At the apex of his jump
Hulk clenches his fist and begins a missile-like descent.
Val sees this from her ship and decides to take off, like
"This fight is over, time to beat traffic."
KORG (CONT'D)
Another day, another Doug.
Down below, Thor groggily turns over. He does so just in
time to see Hulk coming at him like an atom bomb!
No time to avoid it. KA-BOOM!!! Right before impact Thor's
eyes go lightning white. Hulk HITS Thor like a meteor.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 56.
The impact knocks Thor unconscious and we CUT TO BLACK.
Linger on darkness for a few beats...and then:

Hela sits on the throne trying to get comfortable, headdress

HELA
What is that noise?
SKURGE
The common folk aren't exactly
falling in line. There's a
resistance trying to knock down the

Hela sends her BUTCHER TROOPS to deal with it.
HELA
Tell me about yourself, Skurge.
SKURGE
Well, me dad was a stonemason, me

Hela holds out her hand and uses her powers to FORM A DOUBLE-

SPLASH! Boots running across the shallow water. We meet a
family of refugees from the city. FATHER, MOTHER, SON (14),
and young daughter (8). They're RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES.
Hot on their heels are a pair of Hela's sinister Butchers,
hunting like a pack of wolves.
After scrambling through a grove of trees the family make
their way through a narrow pass. The Butchers are hot on
their heels, their growls getting louder behind them when -
BAM! The son runs right into a tall, immovable object...
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 58.
HEIMDALL! No regal armor, no golden helm. This Heimdall has a
thick beard and is wrapped in a cloak. The rest of the family
arrive, desperation.
HEIMDALL
Excuse me.
In one swift motion Heimdall draws the BI-FROST SWORD, steps
forward and SLASHES through the Butchers, ending them.
He then turns to the family, gestures for them to follow him.
HEIMDALL (CONT'D)
Sorry about that. These bloody
things are everywhere. Come on.
Shut the f*** up, I'm spamming here

We were once the seat of absolute
power in the Cosmos. Our supremacy

Hela forms her headdress.
HELA (CONT'D)
Fine.
The Asgardian archers LOOSE DOZENS OF ARROWS, but-
-Hela advances confidently, DESTROYS the SHIPS and SOARS INTO
THE EINHERJAR! In a symphony of spectacular terror, Hela
proceeds to DECIMATE the entire regiment. A tornado of
carnage, a legendary massacre.

Oh! Look, still alive.

resilient.
HELA (CONT'D)
Change of heart?
Hogun draws a dagger as a last ditch attack.
HOGUN

Hela IMPALES Hogun on a spike. She turns to Skurge.

A32 INT. DARK TUNNEL - DAY A32
THOR, strapped to the chair, suddenly finds himself slowly
moving forward. After a beat-
-the walls LIGHT UP and a SOOTHING VOICE speaks to him.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
Fear not, for you are found. You
are home, and there is no going
back. No one leaves this place.
Thor STRUGGLES against his restraints.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 32.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
But what is this place? The answer
in Sakaar.
The tunnel walls show images of Sakaar's place in the Cosmos.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
Surrounded by cosmic gateways,
Sakaar lives on the edge of the
known and unknown.
Images of the wormholes that cover Sakaar's atmosphere.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
It is the collection point for all
lost and unloved things. Like you.
But here on Sakaar, you are
significant. You are valuable.
Here, you are loved.
THOR
What...the hell?
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
And no one loves you more than the
Grandmaster.
Images of the Grandmaster, in silhouette, arriving on Sakaar.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
He is the original. The first
lost, and the first found. The
creator of Sakaar and the father of
the Contest of Champions.
Images of the arena where aliens battle to the death.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
Where once you were nothing, now
you are something. You are the
property of the Grandmaster.
(then
Congratulations! You will meet the
Grandmaster in five seconds.
Images around the tunnel begin speeding up. Chaos, violence,
and confusion mixed in with Grandmaster's face.
Thor, already bewildered, looks on the verge of panic.
SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)
Prepare yourself. Prepare

Grandmaster.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 33.
Thor SCREAMS!
32 INT. GRANDMASTER'S CHAMBERS - CONTINUOUS 32
Suddenly Thor is somewhere else, surrounded weirdos and
insanely dressed palace guards.
His scream dies down self-consciously.
A musical beat PLAYS in the background.
THE GRANDMASTER, a tall mysterious man in golden robes. He is
looking right at us. He doesn't know what to make of us. He's
curious, thrilled, revolted, and titillated.
Pulling back we see TOPAZ, his trusty guard, at his side. Two
GOLDEN LADIES loiter off to the side. Other strange guests
can be seen in the background. Grandmaster just stares.
S142 stands beside Grandmaster. Finally:
GRANDMASTER
He's wonderful.
(then
It is a he?
Reveal S142 standing beside Thor.
SCRAPPER #142
It's a he.
GRANDMASTER
Yeah. I love when you come to visit
142, you bring me the best stuff.
(to Topaz
Whenever we get to talking, Topaz,
about Scrapper 142...what do I
always say? "She is the..." and it
starts with a B.
TOPAZ
Trash.
GRANDMASTER
No, not trash. Were you waiting
just to call her that? It doesn't
start with a "B."
TOPAZ
Booze hag.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 34.
GRANDMASTER
I'm so sorry. No, "best." I was
thinking about "best."
(to S142
Because I always say you're the
best. She brought me my precious
beloved Champion, you know.
TOPAZ
You say that every time she's here.
GRANDMASTER
What have you brought today? Tell
me.
SCRAPPER #142
A contender.
THOR
A what?
GRANDMASTER
I need to go closer. I want a
closer look at this. Can you take
us closer? Thank you.
Grandmaster advances on Thor. Examining him closely and
strangely. Then:
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Pay this lady.
THOR
Just wait a damn minute. I'm not
for sale.
Using all his might, Thor breaks out of his shackles, but-
-S142 ZAPS him again. Paralyzed by superheated veins.
GRANDMASTER
Man. He is a fighter.
SCRAPPER #142
I'd take 10 million.
TOPAZ
Tell her she's dreaming.
GRANDMASTER
For heaven's sake, transfer the
units.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 35.
Topaz transfers S142 the units. Without sympathy or ceremony,
S142 exits.
THOR
You'll pay for this!
SCRAPPER #142
No, I got paid for this.
Thor claws at the obedience disk, trying to RIP IT OUT.
He gets some separation from his skin, but the disk is
causing him even more pain. Thor eventually has to let go.
Grandmaster holds up HIS OWN fob device and uses it like a
wand to guide Thor's HOVER CHAIR, which follows Grandmaster
around as he speaks.
GRANDMASTER
Here's what I wanna know. Who are
you?
THOR
I am the God of THUNDER!!!
Thor THRUSTS his arms into the air but only a tiny bit of
static electricity POPS within Thor's hands.
GRANDMASTER
Wow. I didn't hear any thunder,
but out of your fingers, was that
like...sparkles?
TOPAZ
We located your cousin.
GRANDMASTER
Oh good!
(to Thor
Yeah, come on. I think you're gonna
like this.
Grandmaster moves Thor's chair to another section where-
-COUSIN CARLO is waiting. He's strapped to a chair like
Thor, and he is terrified.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
There he is. Hey, cuz. We almost
couldn't find you. What, have you
been hiding?
Cousin Carlo looks at Thor, cowering in fear.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 36.
THOR
Hi.
Carlo only further weeps.
GRANDMASTER
So...
COUSIN CARLO
Please. I'm sorry.
GRANDMASTER
Carlo... I pardon you.
COUSIN CARLO
Thank you. Thank you.
GRANDMASTER
You're officially pardoned...from
life.
Grandmaster casually takes Topaz's Sakaarian Guard staff and
JABS it into his cousin's mid-section-
-CAUSING ALL OF HIS FLESH TO MELT OFF HIS SKELETON!
Carlo SHRIEKS IN PAIN before his vocal cords melt. Thor
looks on, in shock.
THOR
Oh, my god!
Liquid Carlo spreads towards Grandmaster.
GRANDMASTER
I'm stepping in it. I'm stepping
in it. Look out!
THOR

Oh, the smell.
GRANDMASTER

TOPAZ
Burnt toast.
GRANDMASTER
What happened to my manners? I
haven't properly introduced myself.
Come on. Follow me.
Grandmaster gives Topaz back her staff.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 37.
Grandmaster and Thor arrive at a space where A GROUP OF
MUSICIANS PLAY STRANGE INSTRUMENTS (the source of the music
thus far). Grandmaster joins them, still speaking to Thor.
Grandmaster begins PLAYING a strange piano-like contraption,
riffing a melody over the existing music.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
My name is Grandmaster. I preside
over a little harlequinade called
the Contest of Champions. People
come from far and wide to
unwillingly participate in it. And
you, my friend, might just be part
of the new cast. What do you say
to that?
THOR
We're not friends, and I don't give
a shit about your games! I'm going
back to Asgard!
GRANDMASTER
(amused)
Ass-gard?
(then
One, two, three, four.
Grandmaster really gets into his PLAYING. Grandmaster's
guards and VIP guests start MOVING TO THE MUSIC.
Thor takes a moment to look around at this bizarre spectacle
unfolding around him. In doing so, he zeroes in on one
particular group of VIPS, specifically...
...LOKI! He's lounging and dressed in Sakaarian garb.
LOKI
There was a wormhole in space and
time beneath me. At that moment, I
let go.
THOR
Loki!? Loki! Over here!
Loki notices Thor. Blanches a little. Sidles closer so as
to speak to Thor without looking like he's speaking to Thor.
LOKI
Excuse me one second.
THOR
Loki!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 38.
Loki hustles over to Thor, SHUSHING him.
LOKI
What? You're alive?
THOR
Yes, of course I'm alive.
LOKI
What are you doing here?
THOR
What do you mean, what am I doing?
I'm stuck in this stupid chair.
Where's your chair?
LOKI
I didn't get a chair.
THOR
Get me out of this one.
LOKI
I can't.
THOR
What?
LOKI
I've made friends with this man.
He's called the Grandmaster.
THOR
Oh, he's crazy!
LOKI
I've gained his favor.. The Bi-
Frost brought me out here weeks
ago.
THOR
Weeks ago? I just got here.
Suddenly Grandmaster is right next to them.
GRANDMASTER
What are you whispering about?
Both Thor and Loki react, startled.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Time works real different around
these parts.

Grandmaster beholds himself. Then turns to Loki. A truly
uncomfortable silence.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
In any case, you know this... You
call yourself Lord of Thunder?
THOR
God of Thunder. Tell him.
LOKI
I've never met this man in my life.
THOR
He's my brother.
LOKI
Adopted.
GRANDMASTER
Is he any kind of a fighter?
Loki shrugs, gives the universal gesture for "so-so."
THOR
You take this thing out of my neck
and I'll show you.
GRANDMASTER
Now listen to that. He's
threatening me. Hey, Sparkles,
here's the deal. If you wanna get
back to Ass-place, Assberg...
THOR
Asgard.
GRANDMASTER
Any contender who defeats my
champion, their freedom they shall
win.
THOR
Fine. Then point me in the
direction of whoever's ass I have
to kick.
GRANDMASTER
That's what I call, contender!
Direction would be this way, Lord.

Thor is shoved into a spacious cell where other alien
prisoners are lurking in the back.
The thick cell door SLAMS SHUT behind Thor. Thor gets up and
immediately begins THROWING his shoulder into the door. The
door doesn't budge, not even a little.
Behind him, KORG, a hulking Kronan rock alien, speaks up.
KORG
Hey! Take it easy man!
(Thor looks back)
Over here. The pile of rocks
waving at you. Yeah I'm actually a
thing, I'm a being. Allow me to
introduce myself, my name is Korg.
I'm kind of like the leader in
here. I'm made of rocks, as you
can see, but don't let that
intimidate you. You don't need to
be afraid unless you're made of
scissors.
(GIGGLES to himself)
Just a little rock-paper-scissor
joke for you. This is my very good
friend over here, Miek. He's an
insect and has knives for hands.
MIEK, a slug alien inside a robot exoskeleton, says hello by
doing some karate moves.
THOR
You're a Kronan, aren't you?
KORG
That I am.
THOR
How'd you end up in here?
KORG
Well, I tried to start a revolution
but didn't print enough pamphlets,
so hardly anyone turned up.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 41.
KORG (CONT'D)
Except for my mom and her
boyfriiend, who I hate. As
punishment, I was forced to be in

of a promotional disaster.
(secretive)
But I'm actually organizing another
revolution. I don't know if you'd
be interested in something like
that. Do you reckon you'd be
interested?
Thor tries to run ahead down the circle and loops back around
behind Korg.
THOR
How did you...
KORG
Yeah, no. This whole thing is a
circle. But not a real circle,
more like a freaky circle.
THOR
This doesn't make any sense.
KORG
No, nothing makes sense here. The
only thing that does make sense, is
that nothing makes sense.
THOR
Has anyone here fought the
Grandmaster's Champion?
KORG
Doug has. Doug!
(realizes)
Oh, right, Doug's dead. That's
right. Everyone who fights the
Grandmaster's champion perishes.
THOR
What about you? You're made of
rocks.
KORG
Perishable rocks.
(a pebble FALLS OFF)
There you go. Another one gone.
Yeah, no, I just do the smaller
fights, warm up the crowd and
whatnot. Wait. You're not gonna
face him, are you?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 42.

Yes I am. Fight him, win, and get

Hela directs her attention to FRESCOS ON THE CEILING. Like

Hela turns from the murals to address Skurge.
HELA (CONT'D)
But then, simply because my

Perhaps, in time, an accident

Loki gestures: "we take over."
Thor throws another stone through Loki. Bored.
LOKI (CONT'D)
You're not seriously thinking of

Thor just scowls.

Fine. I guess I'll just have to go

Would you say something?
Now out of stones, Thor looks around the floor for more.
LOKI (CONT'D)
Say something!
Thor finally looks right at Loki, speaks fast and curt:

Korg and Thor are by the weapons rack.
KORG
Yuck! There's Still someone's hair
and blood all over this. Guys, can
you clean up the weapons once you
finish your fight? Disgusting
slobs.
(then
Thor...wanna use a big wooden fork?
THOR
No.
KORG
Yeah, not really useful unless
you're fighting off three vampires
that were huddled together.
THOR
I really wish I had my hammer.
KORG
Hammer?
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 48.
THOR
Quite unique. It was made from
this special metal from the heart
of a dying star. And when I spun
it really, really fast it gave me
the ability to fly.
KORG
You rode a hammer?
THOR
No, I didn't ride the hammer.
KORG
The hammer rode you on your back?
THOR
No. I used to spin it really fast,
and it would pull me off the...
KORG
Oh my God. The hammer pulled you
off?
THOR
The ground. It would pull me off
the ground, up into the air, and I
would fly. Every time I threw it,
it would always come back to me.
KORG
Sounds like you had a pretty
special and intimate relationship
wiht this hammer and that losing it
was almost comparable to losing a
loved one.
THOR
That's a nice way of putting it.
Thor spots S142 dealing at the bar. He's once again eyeing
the fob device clipped to her belt. Scowls.
SCRAPPER #142
I said they're mine.
THOR
See her, the one that put me in
here.
KORG
Yeah, Scrapper 142. She's strong.
And she drinks a lot.
(MORE)
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 49.
KORG (CONT'D)
Gotta watch out for those
Asgardians, man. They are hard to
perish.
THOR
Asgardian?
Thor breaks away from the line and runs to S142.
THOR (CONT'D)
Hey! Hey!
S142 holds up the fob.
THOR (CONT'D)
Do not zap me with that thing. I
just wanna talk. Asgard is in
danger.
Thor then notices a series of PATTERNED SCARS, or BRANDS, on
her forearms. It's a moment of recognition and disbelief.
THOR (CONT'D)
My God, you're a Valkyrie. I used
to wanna be a Valkyrie when I was
younger...until I found out that
you were all women. There's
nothing wrong with women, of
course. I love women. Sometimes a
little too much. Not in a creepy
way, just more of a respectful
appreciation. I think it's great
that there is an elite force of
women warriors. It's about time.
SCRAPPER #142
Are you done?
WARDEN (O.S.)
Lord of Thunder, you're up.
THOR
Please, help me. I need your help.
SCRAPPER #142
Bye.
THOR
Fine, then you must be a traitor or
a coward because the Valkyrie are
sworn to protect the throne.
S142 finally turns her attention to Thor, intense.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 50.
SCRAPPER #142
Listen closely, your majesty. This
is Sakaar, not Asgard. And I'm a
scrapper, not a Valkyrie.
Guards swarm Thor, dragging him back
WARDEN (O.S.)
Bring him in for processing!
VALKYRIE
And no one escapes this place. So
you're gonna die anyway.
Despite her denial, Thor has clearly hit a nerve. And from
now on we will refer to Scrapper #142 as VALKYRIE.
Valkyrie takes her booze and walks away. Thor is dragged
away, passing Korg and the other prisoners.
40A INT. PROCESSING ROOM - DAY 40A
Thor is strapped to a chair. Reveal a weird alien BARBER
(Stan Lee cameo) holding up some rusty shears.
STAN LEE
Now, don't you move. My hands
ain't as steady as they used to be.
THOR
By Odin's beard, you shall not cut
my hair... lest you feel the wrath
of the might Thor.
Barber activates a menacing CUTTING TOOL. Thor freaks out.
THOR (CONT'D)
Please. Please, kind sir, do not
cut my hair! No!
40B INT. THE ARENA - NIGHT 40B
Hundreds of thousands of spectators packed into the stadium
seats. Dozens of starships are parked above the arena.
Find THE GRANDMASTER'S LUXURY SUITE, a VIP box attached to
the fighting area. The Golden Ladies are in attendance.
Loki lounges in the suite, taking wagers on the fight card.
Grandmaster walks out into the center of the arena. Suddenly-
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 51.
-THE GRANDMASTER GROWS TO 60-FEET TALL! This enlarged
projection of Grandmaster addresses the audience.
GRANDMASTER
Wow! Look at all of you. What a
show, WHAT-A-NIGHT! Who's having
fun? Please, I'm your host. Big
round of applause for all of our
undercard competitors... who died
so gruesomely. Good sports. What a
show! What a night! This is what
you've come for and so have I.
(applause)
And now, without further ado...
it's main event time!!
(INSANE APPLAUSE)
Making his first appearance, though
he looks quite promising, got a
couple of tricks up his sleeve.
I'll say no more, see what you
think. Ladies and gentlemen...
(LAUGHTER from the crowd)
I give to you...Lord of Thunder!
Enter Thor. Gladiator Thor. Shaved head, trimmed beard,
minimalist armor, covered in weapons. Two swords on his
back, giant mace in one hand, spiked shield in the other.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Watch out for his fingers. They
make sparks.
Thor looks up at the throngs of SCREAMING FANS. And then...
...puts on his helmet. A badass gladiator variation of his
classic winged helm. Thor is ready to rumble.
ABOVE: Find Valkyrie in her Warsong ship, parked amongst the
other tailgaters. She POPS open a bottle of booze. Drinks.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
Okay, this is it. Let's get ready
to welcome this guy. Here he comes.
He is a creature. What can we say
about him? Well, he's unique.
There's none like him. I feel a
special connection with him.
Suddenly the floor beneath Thor's feet LOWERS. A slow,
tension-building GRIND as he sees-
-A DOOR across the arena. Bigger and bigger.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 52.
The entire crowd is on its feet. Palpable anticipation. The
spotlights change to bright stadium lights.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
He's undefeated. HE'S THE
REIGNING...HE'S THE DEFENDING...
Ladies and gentlemen... I give
you...
KA-BOOM! EXPLODING through a door is the Champion...
...THE INCREDIBLE HULK! He wears an armored shoulder guard
and a Spartan helmet. He carries a warhammer in one hand and
a battleaxe in the other. Hulk POUNDS his chest and ROARS,
further energizing an already frenzied crowd.
Meanwhile, the sight of Hulk makes Thor's arms drop to his
sides along with his jaw dropping to the ground. And then-
-Thor LAUGHS his ass off. Like, "that's my buddy over there!"
THOR
Yes!
IN THE VIP BOX: Loki goes ghost white. Traumatic memories of
being Hulk-smashed flood his brain. Gone is all his joy.
LOKI
I have to get off this planet.
Loki tries to exit, but the Grandmaster stops him.
GRANDMASTER
Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?
Grandmaster plops Loki down in the front row, right against
the glass. Loki casually tries to hide his face in his hand.
IN THE ARENA:
THOR
Hey! We know each other. He's a
friend from work.
(to Hulk
Where have you been? Everybody
thought you were dead. So much has
happened since I last saw you. I
lost my hammer. Like, yesterday,
so that's still pretty fresh.
(then
Loki! Loki's alive. Can you
believe it? He's up there.
(waves to Loki
Loki! Look who it is!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 53.
Loki is petrified.
THOR (CONT'D)
Banner, I never thought I would say
this, but I'm happy to see you.
IN THE ARENA: Hulk is still eyeballing Thor while the
capacity crowd CHANTS insanely for "HULK! HULK! HULK!"
THOR (CONT'D)
Banner. Hey, Banner!
Hulk's face grimaces and contorts, suppressing puny Banner.
HULK
NO BANNER! ONLY HULK!
Hulk CHARGES at Thor. Insanely fast.
THOR
What are you doing? It's me.
Thor DODGES the first few attacks, but then Hulk SHATTERS his
shield and sends Thor FLYING.
Thor draws a sword and STABS it into the ground to slow his
momentum. Draws the other sword and faces off against Hulk.
THOR (CONT'D)
Banner, we're friends. This is
crazy. I don't want to hurt you!
They engage again. Hulk KICKS Thor, sending him SLAMMING
into the wall.
GRANDMASTER
Here we go.
Thor jumps down just in time to avoid Hulk's warhammer, which
HITS so hard that it remains lodged in the wall.
With Hulk charging again, Thor RIPS the warhammer out of the
wall and WALLOPS Hulk with it.
Hulk goes CRASHING alongside the arena. He ends up sprawled
out in a pile of rubble, slightly dazed.
GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)
What?
ABOVE: Val is watching through a set of high-tech
binoculars. She reacts to Thor, reluctantly impressed.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 54.
Thor advances on Hulk with all the swagger. He takes off his
helmet and CALLS OUT to Hulk, provoking him.
THOR
Hey, big guy. The sun's getting
real low.
Hulk takes off his helmet. Scowling. Teeth GRINDING.
THOR (CONT'D)
That's it. The sun's going down.
I won't hurt you anymore. No one
will.
WHOOSH! Thor is suddenly dragged out of frame. Hulk has
Thor by the leg and is WHIPPING him against the arena floor.
Over and over and over again.
IN THE VIP BOX: Loki's whole mood shifts. The joy returns to
his face, like "everything will be alright!" Loki LAUGHS.
LOKI
Yes! That's how it feels!
(to Grandmaster
I'm just a huge fan of the sport.
Thor is SMASHED into the floor face first.
Hulk ROARS and RUSHES Thor with his axe.
THOR
All right. Screw it.
CLANG! The giant weapons CLASH! Now Thor and Hulk are
fighting warhammer versus battleaxe...
...and Thor is winning! He's getting the better of these
exchanges, using Hulk's aggression against him. Thor
continually KNOCKS and/or TRIPS Hulk off his feet while
evading all of Hulk's best attacks.
THOR (CONT'D)
I know you're in there, Banner.
I'll get you out!
One particular vicious blow DISARMS Hulk, and Thor BREAKS
Hulk's axe with the warhammer. Thor then BASHES Hulk in the
chest, KNOCKING him to the ground.
THOR (CONT'D)
What's the matter with you? You're
embarrassing me! I told them we
were friends!
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 55.
GROWLING, Hulk stands up and HITS Thor with a straight jab
that sends Thor TUMBLING across the arena. Hulk immediately
LEAPS after him and LANDS ON Thor!
Hulk is now on top of Thor as they slide across the arena,
just PUMMELING him with punches. Left-right-left-right.
Thor's head snaps back and forth.
In the carnage, Thor sees VISIONS OF ODIN. Then-
-his eyes GLOW WHITE WITH ELECTRICITY. Like an instinctual
defense mechanism, Thor suddenly KNOCKS HULK BACK WITH A
BURST OF LIGHTNING!
Seething with electricity, Thor springs to his feet and then
BLASTS HULK WITH A MASSIVE LIGHTNING PUNCH! Hulk is LAUNCHED
BACKWARDS and Thor hits the ground HARD.
CROWD
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!
KORG
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!
The crowd gets hushed. They've never seen this before.
IN THE VIP BOX: Grandmaster is pissed. Loki is amazed.
Hulk and Thor stagger to their feet. Thor looks at himself,
a little surprised. There are still small charges of
lightning CRACKLING through his veins.
Meanwhile, Hulk RUMBLES towards Thor and they're at it again,
close-quarters boxing. Thor is winning the exchanges,
landing BRUTAL PUNCHES to Hulk's body. And then suddenly-
-BZZZ! The Grandmaster ZAPS him with the Obedience Disk fob!
Thor drops, totally caught off guard!
Hulk plants his feet and JUMPS! He ZOOMS UP, rocketing out
of the arena, up-up-up into the sky! At the apex of his jump
Hulk clenches his fist and begins a missile-like descent.
Val sees this from her ship and decides to take off, like
"This fight is over, time to beat traffic."
KORG (CONT'D)
Another day, another Doug.
Down below, Thor groggily turns over. He does so just in
time to see Hulk coming at him like an atom bomb!
No time to avoid it. KA-BOOM!!! Right before impact Thor's
eyes go lightning white. Hulk HITS Thor like a meteor.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 56.
The impact knocks Thor unconscious and we CUT TO BLACK.
Linger on darkness for a few beats...and then:
36 INT. THRONE ROOM - SUNSET 36
Hela sits on the throne trying to get comfortable, headdress
& cowl off. Skurge stands at the foot of the throne.
HELA
What is that noise?
SKURGE
The common folk aren't exactly
falling in line. There's a
resistance trying to knock down the
front gates.
Hela sends her BUTCHER TROOPS to deal with it.
HELA
Tell me about yourself, Skurge.
SKURGE
Well, me dad was a stonemason, me
mum was-
HELA
(interrupts)
I'll just stop you there. What I
meant was what is your ambition?
SKURGE
I just want a chance to prove
myself.
HELA
Recognition.
(then
When I was young every great King
had an executioner. Not just to
execute people, but also to execute
their vision. But mainly to
execute people. Still a great
honor.
(beat)
I was Odin's executioner.
Hela holds out her hand and uses her powers to FORM A DOUBLE-
SIDED OBSIDIAN AXE, which she offers to Skurge.
HELA (CONT'D)
And you will be my executioner.
Let's begin our conquest.
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 57.
37 OMITTED 37
41 OMITTED 41
42 OMITTED 42
44 EXT. RAINBOW BRIDGE - DAY 44
Hela and Skurge arrive at the Observatory, army in tow.
HELA
Skurge, where's the sword?
Reveal that the Bi-Frost sword is missing.
HELA (CONT'D)
That sword is the key to opening
the Bi-Frost.
Hela thinks, seething.
HELA (CONT'D)
These people you mentioned, the
ones who aren't falling into line.
Round them up.
45 OMITTED 45
AA46 OMITTED AA46
AB46 OMITTED AB46
46 EXT. ASGARD - MOUNTAIN CREEK - DAY 46
A46 OMITTED A46
SPLASH! Boots running across the shallow water. We meet a
family of refugees from the city. FATHER, MOTHER, SON (14),
and young daughter (8). They're RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES.
Hot on their heels are a pair of Hela's sinister Butchers,
hunting like a pack of wolves.
After scrambling through a grove of trees the family make
their way through a narrow pass. The Butchers are hot on
their heels, their growls getting louder behind them when -
BAM! The son runs right into a tall, immovable object...
BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 58.
HEIMDALL! No regal armor, no golden helm. This Heimdall has a
thick beard and is wrapped in a cloak. The rest of the family
arrive, desperation.
HEIMDALL
Excuse me.
In one swift motion Heimdall draws the BI-FROST SWORD, steps
forward and SLASHES through the Butchers, ending them.
He then turns to the family, gestures for them to follow him.
HEIMDALL (CONT'D)
Sorry about that. These bloody
things are everywhere. Come on.

I always like people complaining "Well I get my news online through text" it's like bitch reading is so cliche now
Ain't nobody reading through a long ass article. And then people want to complain when us lazy folks want to consume our media through television. "DON'T WATCH CNN. READ THE INTERNET FOR YOUR NEWS."
Yes, and read the newspaper online which is a) behind a paywall and b) even if it wasn't is way too much to read
Heck the whole point of the paper in the beginning was to put the main "meat" first and then supplement it with details which you could skim over
