And yes, you do need to stay to the very very end of the credits. This is a Marvel movie that knows when to embrace the ridiculous and when to puncture any pomposity, and it's a delight from start to big finish. It's so exciting you'd be forgiven for getting physically aroused. In the United States, it is currently more popular than Violin Masters: Two Gentlemen of Cremona but less popular than Grandmothers House. The movie has moved down the charts by -75 places since yesterday.

The final fight scene, played out to the strains of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song and against a burning Asgard, doesn't hold back.

While it might make a few Marvel purists clutch their pearls it's a change that allows Goldblum to channel all the outrageousness into the performance.

The director recently went on the record saying that if there’s a Thor 5 he would not directing. Waititi would direct a second film in 2022 titled Thor: Love and Thunder. Ragnarok was highly acclaimed and a box office success totaling $853M worldwide. Waititi took over the franchise with 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok after the initial film by Kenneth Branagh in 2011 and the sequel Thor: The Dark World directed by Alan Taylor, released in 2013. The director said that when Marvel Studios approached him to direct the film he thought, “Well, they’ve called me in, this is really the bottom of the barrel.”
