Hulk to appear in 'Thor: Ragnarok'

Los Angeles: The green gigantic beast Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo, will appear in the third installment of "Thor" movie franchise.

Ruffalo is currently in negotiations to reprise his role as Bruce Banner in "Thor: Ragnarok" alongside Chris Hemsworth, who plays the God of Thunder, reported Ace Showbiz.

The hammer-wielding hero and the Green Goliath have to face "what amounts to the Norse Apocalypse."

It will also feature a "distant planet" that's "not Asgard and not Earth."

Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, and Jaimie Alexander, who portrays Lady Sif, are expected to return to the franchise.

"Thor: Ragnarok" will be directed by Taika Waititi, whose credits include "Eagle vs Shark" and last year's "What We Do in the Shadows".

Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost write the script while Kevin Feige is on board as producer. The movie is due to open in the US on November 2, 2017.
