Now that GUARDIANS IN THE GALAXY VOL. 2 is, more or less, in the can, it's time to look towads the next of Marvel's endeavors. Of course, we've already seen some set-pics from SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, but now a Marvel proper film has begun filming; THOR: RAGNAROK. Marvel co-president Louis D'Esposito sent out the following tweet, wishing the best of luck to the crew of THOR: RAGNAROK on starting principal photography.

Best of luck to @TaikaWaititi and the whole cast and crew of #ThorRagnarok . July 4 they started filming. Australia is in the future.

The THOR films have, arguably, been the weakest efforts in the Marvel DCU. What's so exciting about RAGNAROK is that it's being helmed by Taika Waititi (WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS), and that Thor (Chris Hemsworth) will be teaming up with Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). The cast also includes Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Jeff Goldblum as The Grandmaster, Karl Urban as Skurge, and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie. While story details are scarce, I've included the exclusive scoop we dropped for the film (and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2) below!

THOR: RAGNAROK will open in theaters on November 3, 2017.
