And maybe the most interesting, Grandmaster. In comics he is one of the elders of the Universe alongside Collector who was introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy. Grandmaster is actually a master of games and is often seen as being who casually takes heroes from Earth and make them play games. Or fight more accurately.
2. HULK!
Last time we saw the Hulk was when he decided to leave in a jet after the fight wih Ultorn in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He was left out in Civil War and confirmed as major role in Ragnarok.
Story of Hulk will take some elements from Planet Hulk comicbook. For those who didnt read it, this series tells a story about Marvel heroes' decision to send the Hulk away, his acclimation to and conquest of the planet where he landed, and his efforts to return to Earth to take his revenge.
You can read the comic here: Link. While we at it, I suggest reading Hulk: World War that deals with Hulks revenge once he came back to Earth. Its amazing read. Link

PLOT
Nothing was specific at this point, but the title can give us two hints:
1. Ragnarok is a supervillain character from Marvel. He first appeared during Civil War (2006) as a clone of Thor made by Tony, Reed and Hank Pym. You can read more about him here: Ragnarok
2. In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is a series of future events, including a great battle, foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water.
Being that Kevin Fiege confirmed that Ragnarok means essentially the end of all things, the fact that it was confirmed that this will be the darkest movie made by Marvel, the fact that we will see Collector/Grandmaster who are most probably after the stones again, the fact that this will be a major movie for phase 3 as it will serve as a connection for the previous movie and Inifinity War, I think we can srcath the option 1 and just wait for Ragnarok and all hell break loose.
Being that this will be doomsday movie and the one that will connect the phases with Thanos and Infinity War there is a probability a Mad Titan himself will appear too.
Director:
Taika Waititi will be directing this movie. Check his movies here: Link
Thats it for now. I will update the threadwith more infos once I get them. If the early infos are correct we are in for a heck of drive and most probably the best Thor movie in the franchise.
What are your thoughts regarding this movie? Are you excited? Did you enjoy the prequels? And Thor himself? (ladies dont need to answer this)
