But some newly revealed Ragnarok concept art shows the Asgardian warrior-turned-bounty hunter in a uniform that is far off what ended up as her final design. Thompson's performance was memorable enough to make it hard to imagine the character looking or acting any differently. The demon was only reborn after Thor (Chris Hemsworth) obtains his crown in the movie's opening scene, which featured a motion-capture performance from director Taika Waititi and voice work from Clancy Brown.
