Thor: Ragnarok will reportedly have an element from the Planet Hulk comic series in the film.
Much like Captain America: Civil War was more of an ensemble film than just a Captain America film, the report suggests that the third Thor film will be similar. It suggests that Thor: Ragnarok will be a mash-up of pieces from the Ragnarok story-line and the Planet Hulk story-line from Marvel Comics. Thor will “definitely be involved in some gladiatorial games run by the Grandmaster”, who will be played by Jeff Goldblum.
The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) will have a costume similar to his design in Planet Hulk. The costume will include the primal accessories and the one-sided armour covering his left arm.
No official details on how either character gets to the planet they meet on have been revealed, but once there notable pieces of both comic book story-lines will be evident.
The report also indicates that Thor (Chris Hemsworth) will sport a shaved head when he’s on the planet. Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie will have a different look to the comic counterpart of the character. As opposed to the Nordic armour from the comics she will be sporting war paint and skew towards a more primal look as well.
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled for release on November 3rd, 2017.

Nintendo released a new video for the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video-games which revealed several new details for the game. The most notable details revealed were about the legendary Pokémon in the next generation (which can be seen on the boxes of both games).
You can watch the new video below:
The legendary on the box of Pokémon Sun is called Solgaleo. Solgaleo is a Psychic/Steel type and it has the ability “Full Metal Body”. This means that its stats can’t be lowered by attacks. Solgaleo’s signature move is Sunsteel Strike.
Pokémon Moon’s box has the legendary Pokémon Lunala. Lunala is a Psychic/Ghost type and has the ability Shadow Shield. Lunala’s signature move is Moongeist Beam.
The video also revealed a twist to the Pokédex in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. The players Pokédex will be possessed by a Rotom. Rotom is an Electric type Pokémon that was introduced in Generation IV (the Diamond and Pearl generation). Being paired with the Rotom will allow the player’s Pokédex to communicate with players and get advice on where the player should go next. Another new feature for the game will allow players to register Pokémon in their Pokédex via QR Codes.
The video also gave fans a bigger look at the Alola region. It revealed that the region is made up of a chain of islands. The region is described as “containing four natural islands and an artificial island and are filled with “many” new types of Pokémon never before seen in the games.”
The final details revealed are on several of the characters that will feature in the games. The new professor is called Kukui. Other characters revealed include Kukui’s mysterious assistant Lillie and a new “friend” called Hau.
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are scheduled for release on November 18th, 2016.

The Pokémon Company have revealed the three starter Pokémon and the release date for their upcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video-games.
Nintendo released a video announcing that the new starters are called Rowlet, Litten and Popplio. You can watch that video below:
Official descriptions of the three starters can be read below:
“Rowlet, the “Grass Quill” Pokemon, is a Grass/Flying type, making it the first starter Pokemon since Bulbasaur to start the game with two types. According to the Pokemon Company, Rowlet can attack without making a sound and uses both its claws and razor sharp leaf feathers in battle. Like the owls it resembles, Rowlet can see in the dark and can twist its neck 180 degrees to see directly behind itself. This means it can twist its head in battle to look at its trainer and receive instructions. Rowlet starts the game with a new attack, Leafage, a leafy ranged attack that’s presumably similar in power to Bubble and Ember.”
“Litten, the “Fire Cat” Pokemon, is Pokemon Sun and Moon’s Fire type starter. Litten is a coolheaded Pokemon that balances its passionate personality with cool logic. Litten’s fur is oily and highly flammable, which allows Litten to actually shoot out flaming furballs as an attack. Litten can spontaneously combust its old fur in a glorious blaze and knows Ember to start off the game.”
“The final new Pokemon, Popplio, is the “Sea Lion” Water type starter Pokemon. Popplio excels at moving through water, but can create water balloons to perform feats of acrobatics on dry land. Popplio is the mischievous Pokemon of the starters and often gets carried away with playful antics in battle. However, Popplio is hardworking and can be found practicing its moves outside of battle. Popplio starts the game with the Water Gun attack.”
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are scheduled for release on November 18th, 2016. The games will be set in a new region, the Alola region, which appears (from the video) to be based on Hawaii. Volcanoes, mountains and coastlines all feature in the video.
