While doing press for Now You See Me 2, Mark Ruffalo was asked about his next Marvel film, Thor: Ragnarok, which had its official cast announced by the studio several days ago.

"I think it'll be smashing. You'll see a lot more Hulk in this one," Ruffalo said of Hulk's return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His Now You See Me 2 co-star Woody Harrelson then cut in, asking, "Does The Hulk get Hulk-ier?" To which Ruffalo replied, "The Hulk gets Hulk-ier. The Hulk Hulks out. Hulk-ier and bigger."

Entertainment Tonight's Lauren Zima then brought up Cate Blanchett, who has now been confirmed to be playing the Asgardian Goddess of Death, Hela. Which is not a surprise to Ruffalo, as he kind of let that cat out of the bag back in January.

"She plays the worst of the worst. So evil," Ruffalo teased. "She is going to kill us. It's such a great part she gets to play."

Ruffalo concluded the interview by describing the film as "an intergalactic buddy road movie with Banner and Thor." Sounds fun! Can't wait!

Two-time Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett joins Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok" as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, along with Jeff Goldblum who joins the cast as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson who will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban who will add his might to the fray as Skurge.

Rounding out the cast for the film is three-time Oscar®-nominee Mark Ruffalo, reprising his role of Bruce Banner/the Hulk from "Marvel's The Avengers" and Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron."

Thor's new cast members join returning stars Chris Hemsworth in the title role for the fifth time; Tom Hiddleston as Thor's adversarial, adopted brother, Loki; Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Idris Elba as the Asgardian sentry, Heimdall; and Academy Award®-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins again portraying Odin, Ruler of Asgard.

"Thor: Ragnarok," the third installment of Marvel's popular Norse Super Hero, is directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Taika Waititi. Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee.

Thor: Ragnarok will be released on November 3, 2017.
