Karl Urban finds Thor: Ragnarok script fantastic

“I read a fantastic script that was action-packed and full of great characters. When I heard who was involved – and the cast list dropped yesterday – and (saw) the opportunity to work with Taika Waititi, who I think is one of the most brilliant directors coming through, I made the decision it was something that I wanted to be a part of.

“The character is fantastic. He’s got a great arc to him. Obviously, I can’t say too much about it, but I’m really thrilled to be a part of the Marvel universe and to be working on ‘Thor: Ragnarok’,” Urban said.

Apart from the “Star Trek” actor, Cate Blanchett Jeff Goldblum and Mark Ruffalo are the new faces to join the cast.
