Loki and Valkyrie fight in new 'Thor: Ragnarok' photo

A new photo of "Thor: Ragnarok" has made its way out on the internet. The picture, which original source is unknown, features Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Valkyrie, a new character in the film franchise portrayed by Tessa Thompson, AceShowbiz reports.

The image sees Thor's adoptive brother and the heroine in a duel. But their facial expressions hint that they may be sparring or testing each other's skill, as they are seen fighting on the same side against Hela (Cate Blanchett) in a previously released trailer.

"Thor: Ragnarok" will bring back Chris Hemsworth as the titular God of Thunder, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as Hulk, and Benedict Cumberbatch will make a cameo as Doctor Strange.

In this third "Thor" movie, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok -the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization - at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger - the Incredible Hulk!

Directed by Taika Waititi, it is set to be released November 3 in the United States.
