If you've been following my blog for a while now, you can attest to my love of all things Marvel, in particular any movie in which you will find Thor or Iron Man or Captain America. Thanks to "Captain America: Civil War", I've had my Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans fix but I have sure been missing Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. Fortunately, we will finally see them together again on the big screen in "Thor: Ragnarok." 

In Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok,” Thor finds himself imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and battles against the clock to get back to Asgard to face Hela the goddess of death in the hopes of preventing Ragnarok - the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization. As part of his journey, he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest in which he must fight his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk.  

“Thor: Ragnarok” features a star-studded cast that includes Chris Hemsworth as the hammer-wielding hero of Asgard, Golden Globe winner Tom Hiddleston as Thor’s duplicitous adopted brother, Loki, two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanche as the villainous Hela, Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner Idris Elba and Jeff Goldblum, to name a few. This long-awaited film thunders into theatres on November 3, 2017 but one lucky Toronto Teacher Mom will get to attend an advance screening!

As a self-proclaimed die-hard Marvel fan, I am so excited for the opening of Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1. It is jam-packed with an incredible cast, including some of my favourites Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. The movie also introduces Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver and Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch. Have a peak below for the latest featurette introducing these two new characters and take a gander at some official images courtesy of Walt Disney Motion Pictures. Don't forget there's still time to enter for a chance to win a family pass for four to a Marvel Universe Live! show near you.

It should come as no surprise to you that, when it comes to Marvel Studios characters as portrayed on the big screen, Thor holds a special place at the top of my list of favourites. Credit this to his long, golden locks of hair, his chiseled physique, his kind-hearted personality, or what have you. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to jump alongside him as his next leading lady. (I am still awaiting the call from Marvel Studios. Any day now.) After having watched Marvel's The Avengers, which set the all-time, domestic three-day weekend box-office record at $207.4 million, I soon found myself interested in the Captain America storyline. And I swear, it had nothing to do with the ultra-buff specimen known as Chris Evans. Nothing at all.

The Marvel Studios production of Captain America: The First Avenger was jam-packed with amazing visuals, incredible action sequences and a really good storyline. The transformation of small and scrawny Steve Rogers into a tall and muscular super-soldier still baffles my mind but is an excellent example of the power of movie magic. The latest release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier continues to demonstrate the flawless infusion of computer generated imaging but goes above and beyond in developing in-depth characters and a twisted plot line rooted in political conspiracy.
