Comic Book Easter Eggs

When it comes to Easter eggs and references, Thor: Ragnarok already feels like an extremely dense movie. Let's mention just a couple of the movie’s comic book Easter eggs without going into too much detail. This would include the influence of Jack Kirby's art, which can be seen all over the place.

There’s the obvious Planet Hulk reference, and Thor: Ragnarok is likely to be the closest we'll ever get to seeing this beloved comic book adapted.

We should mention the movie’s nod to the comic books’ Thor and his reveal of Mjolnir when he was disguised as Donald Blake. Rather than carrying the hammer disguised as a cane, the MCU’s Thor has an umbrella, but he’s revealed as the God of Thunder with the same tap on the ground.

In a Silver Surfer Easter egg, Thor realizes the identity of the Grandmaster's champion. The line, He's a friend from work shows up in the Planet Hulk storyline, but in the comics the Hulk faces the champion, the Silver Surfer. When he recognizes him, the Jade Giant says, “He's the Silver Surfer"¦He's my friend.”

Of course, The Revengers is an actual team from the comics, led by Wonder Man. This isn't the only team from the comics to bear this name; there’s also the undead Avengers team in the Cancerverse.

There are so many Easter eggs in Thor:Ragnarok that we’re sure that we've missed some. Do tell us if you spot more!
