Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Icelandic: [ˈhafθour ˈjuːlijʏs ˈpjœr̥sɔn] ⓘ; transliterated as Hafthor in English; born 26 November 1988) is an Icelandic professional strongman who is widely regarded as one of the greatest strength athletes of all time.[1][2] He is the first and only person to have won the Arnold Strongman Classic, the Europe's Strongest Man, and the World's Strongest Man competitions in the same calendar year[3][4] and holds numerous Strongman titles from multiple strength federations, including multiple world records.[5] With 31 international competition wins, he is the third most decorated strongman in history, behind Lithuania's Žydrūnas Savickas and Poland's Mariusz Pudzianowski,[6] and in terms of pure brute strength and with over 100 world records, many strength analysts and Strongman experts regard Hafþór as "the strongest man to have ever lived".[7][8][1][9] Hafþór has also appeared on television as an actor, portraying "The Mountain" Ser Gregor Clegane in the HBO series Game of Thrones for five seasons. He is often simply referred to as "Thor" or "the Mountain", the latter due to his Game of Thrones character and his own massive size.[10]

After years of being hunted and weaponized, Bruce Banner is betrayed once more. An off-world containment mission meant to remove him from Earth goes catastrophically wrong, sending Banner and the Hulk hurtling through space. The ship crash-lands on the brutal planet Sakaar, a world ruled by violence, slavery, and spectacle. Captured by the forces of the tyrant Red King, the Hulk is forced into the gladiator arenas, where survival is entertainment and death is currency. Stripped of hope and language, Hulk becomes a weapon once again—until he meets others who have been broken by Sakaar. Among them are: Hiroim the Shamed, a haunted priest-warrior seeking redemption Careira Oldstrong, a hardened Shadow Person fighter Elloe Kaifi, a former royal guard turned slave Miek, a survivor of genocide who sees Hulk as prophecy Together, they form a reluctant brotherhood, united not by destiny—but by shared suffering. Through combat and bloodshed, Hulk earns their loyalty and slowly regains Banner’s fractured sense of self. For the first time, Hulk is not feared—he is followed. As rebellion grows, the truth of Sakaar’s oppression is revealed. The Red King’s rule is sustained by cruelty and manipulation, and the planet itself is dying. Hulk leads an uprising that topples the arena system and challenges the throne, culminating in a city-shattering confrontation with the Red King. Just as Hulk claims victory, outside forces intervene. Thor arrives on Sakaar, tracking cosmic disturbances caused by the Hulk’s presence. Alongside him is Korg, a revolutionary warrior who recognizes Hulk as more than a destroyer. Thor and Korg help Banner escape Sakaar before its collapse, warning that Earth—and the cosmos—are on the brink of war. Hulk is forced to choose between the world that finally accepted him and the one that still fears him. The film ends with Hulk leaving Sakaar behind, not as a monster—but as a king without a throne, carrying the weight of loyalty, loss, and vengeance toward the stars. Hulk no longer fights to survive. He fights to return.
