Marvel has released 18 new images from Thor: Ragnarok. The upcoming sequel sees Thor (Chris Hemsworth) imprisoned on the other side of the universe and forced to put together a team in order to stop the ruthless Goddess of Death, Hela (Cate Blanchett). From what we’ve seen so far, the movie looks like an absolute blast and a far cry from the first two Thor movies.

While some fans have cited a look that’s similar to Guardians of the Galaxy, I would say that Ragnarok still looks like it has its own personality. Yes, there are big, bold, bright colors and a variety of alien species, but Guardians doesn’t have the market cornered on that. Additionally, director Taika Waititi has a very different sensibility than James Gunn, so I don’t foresee Ragnarok as an imitation job. Also, I’m certainly not going to argue against more Marvel movies being big and colorful, especially when they look as stunning as Thor: Ragnarok.

Check out the Thor: Ragnarok images below. The film opens November 3rd and also stars Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, Mark Ruffalo, and Anthony Hopkins.
