This movie begins two years after the events in 'Avengers: Age of
Ultron', with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), having failed in his quest to
locate the Infinity Stones and having also been dumped by Jane (although
he insists it was a 'mutual dumping') hanging above a fire pit before
being brought to the presence of fire demon Surtur. Thor is told by
Surtur it is his (Surtur's) destiny to bring about Ragnarok, which is
the complete destruction of Asgard. Thor learns from Surtur that Odin
(Anthony Hopkins) is not on Asgard, so uses Mjolnir (his hammer) to
escape and destroy Surtur, keeping his crown/skull. He returns to Asgard
and sends Surtur's skull down to the vaults but then finds Heimdall
(Idris Elba) has been replaced as sentry of the Bifrost Bridge by the
inept Skurge (Karl Urban) who explains that Odin accused Heimball of
treachery causing Heimdall to flee.
Reaching Asgard, Thor sees a
massive statue of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as well as Odin lounging around
watching a play about Loki's 'heroic sacrifice' while fighting the Dark
Elves. Realizing what's happened, Thor quickly forces Loki (who usurped
and disguised himself as Odin prior to the end of the second film 'Thor:
The Dark World') to drop his charade and demands to know what happened
to Odin. It is revealed that Loki had placed Odin under a spell and
dumped him in a retirement home in New York but by the time they get
there it is being demolished. Before they can plan their next move, Loki
is suddenly pulled through a hole and a card with an address is left
behind. Heading there, Thor finds in the presence of Doctor Strange
(Benedict Cumberbatch) who agrees to help him find Odin on the condition
that all Asgardians leave Earth. Thor agrees, and after doing some
research (during which Thor is constantly teleported around the Santum
much to his displeasure) Doctor Strange finds that Odin is in Norway. He
then releases Loki from his endless fall, and when Loki goes to attack
an exasperated Strange unceremoniously sends them both through a portal.
