Thor returns to Asgard after years of protecting the Nine Realms and discovers that an ancient enemy has returned: Malekith the Accursed, the leader of the Dark Elves. In this universe, the events of Thor: The Dark World never happened, and Malekith has remained hidden since his defeat in a war against Odin thousands of years ago. Odin explains that the Dark Elves once tried to use the Aether to cover the universe in darkness, but Asgard stopped them. During this conversation, Odin briefly mentions his firstborn daughter, Hela, explaining that she was once his greatest warrior before her hunger for power became too dangerous. Hela doesn't appears, but Thor learns that Odin’s past is filled with secrets and mistakes. After Odin’s death, Malekith begins his invasion of Asgard to reclaim the Aether. Thor is separated from Loki and ends up on Sakaar, where he reunites with his old friend Korg. Thor and Korg already know each other from previous battles, and Korg helps him escape the Grandmaster’s arena. Thor also discovers the Hulk, who is more serious and conflicted after years of isolation. Hulk joins Thor’s fight against Malekith, and the group returns to Asgard to defend it. During the battle, Malekith uses the Aether to control Korg, forcing Thor to kill his friend to stop him. Thor defeats Malekith, but Asgard is doomed. To prevent further destruction, Thor releases Surtur, whose flames destroy Asgard and bring Ragnarok. Thor escapes with the surviving Asgardians, realizing that Asgard was never just a place, but the people who carried its legacy.
