50 free Thor: Ragnarok trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Thor: Ragnarok trivia quiz covers the 2017 film that turned the Thor series into a neon comedy and gave the character a haircut, a sister and a rock friend called Korg. The plot questions run from Surtur's prison and Loki's Asgardian theatre through Odin's death in Norway, Hela crushing Mjolnir, the garbage planet Sakaar, the Contest of Champions against the Hulk, the Revengers' escape and the decision to let Ragnarök happen after all. The harder half covers how it was made: the directors Marvel considered, the sizzle reel that sold Taika Waititi, the Planet Hulk storyline, the Australian studio that hosted the whole shoot, the working title, the celebrity cameos in the play, the punk icon who inspired Cate Blanchett, the Make-A-Wish child behind the film's most quoted line, the composer, and the box office records. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen it once; the expert ones will test even committed MCU fans. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. For the wider universe, try our Marvel and MCU quizzes.

Q 01Who directed Thor: Ragnarok?
Taika Waititi
He also plays Korg, the soft-spoken rock gladiator, via motion capture.

Surtur
Thor takes his crown, thinking he has prevented Ragnarök; by the end he has to put it back in the Eternal Flame on purpose.
Q 03Who is Thor's previously unknown older sibling, freed by Odin's death?
Hela
In the comics and Norse myth she is Loki's daughter; making her Thor's sister was screenwriter Eric Pearson's idea, to raise the stakes of their final fight.
Q 04In which country do Thor and Loki find the dying Odin?
Norway
The scene was originally set in a New York alley with Odin as a hobo; Waititi moved it during reshoots to give the moment weight.
Q 05What does Hela do to Mjolnir moments after appearing?
Crushes it in one hand
Chris Hemsworth wanted the character stripped down: shorter hair, no hammer, and eventually one eye.

Sakaar
Producer Brad Winderbaum called it 'the toilet of the universe', with wormholes spitting junk onto it for eons.

Scrapper 142
She is based on the mythological Brynhildr and is the last of Asgard's female warriors, who were wiped out fighting Hela.
Q 08Who plays Valkyrie?
Tessa Thompson
She trained while looking at pictures of Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2, and got a scene hinting at the character's bisexuality shot, though it was cut.

The Hulk
Thor is winning until the Grandmaster zaps him with the obedience disk to protect his champion.

A recording of Natasha Romanoff on the Quinjet

Korg and Miek
Miek has no actor: he is a larva-like creature with cybernetic limbs who never speaks.

His right eye
A vision of Odin then makes him realise that only Ragnarök itself can stop her.
Q 13How is Hela finally defeated?
Surtur is reborn and destroys Asgard with her on it
Loki places the fire demon's crown in the Eternal Flame on Thor's orders, deliberately triggering the apocalypse the whole film tried to avoid.

Clancy Brown
Waititi did the motion capture himself, as he did for Korg.
Q 22What is Stan Lee's cameo in Ragnarok?
The man who cuts Thor's hair on Sakaar
'Now don't you move, my hands aren't as steady as they used to be,' he says, wielding a whirring contraption.
Q 23Which Hollywood star plays the Loki actor in the Asgardian play?
Matt Damon
Chris Hemsworth suggested him; Damon flew from New York to Atlanta during reshoots to shoot it 'on a lark'.
Q 14What is the name of the Grandmaster's ship that carries the surviving Asgardians away?
The Statesman
Its interception by a giant warship in the mid-credits scene leads straight into Avengers: Infinity War.
Q 15Who plays Hela?
Cate Blanchett
She studied capoeira for the role and modelled Hela's movement on 1970s punk iconography.
Q 16Which punk singer inspired the movement of the actress playing Hela?

Hela's look came from Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder comics, and her weapon-summoning power was borrowed from that book's villain Gorr.

Jeff Goldblum
Waititi skipped the character's comic-book blue skin partly because Goldblum had already been blue in Earth Girls Are Easy.

The Collector
Kevin Feige said he would like to see Goldblum and Benicio del Toro share the screen one day.

He shaved his head for the part and gets a redemptive death defending the Asgardians on the Bifröst.

Marvel liked it so much it also runs during that film's credits.

80 percent
He describes standing beside the camera shouting alternative lines at the actors mid-take.
