Hulk and Thor both missed out on the Avengers reunion that was Captain America: Civil War, but they'll be getting their own spotlight in Thor: Ragnarok.

But the latest pictures from the movie have us thinking that the big green guy might not be so happy with Thor barging in on his new home, the alien planet Sakaar.

A new image of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie – who work's for Sakaar's ruler, Grandmaster – shows her standing in front of what appears to be a parade celebrating the Hulk. People are dressed in green and waving homemade models of the Avenger in the air. Eat your heart out, Tony Stark.

We had assumed that Bruce Banner and his alter ego were captives of Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) and being forced to fight in the gladiatorial arena. But it looks like Earth's biggest outcast is a celebrity on Sakaar, not someone in need of freeing like Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and his chained-up stepbrother Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

We know that Hulk eventually follows Thor to Asgard, but he might not be a willing participant in the war against Hela (Cate Blanchett) when he's finally found a place where he belongs.
