Ghost in the Shell

In the future, people will upgrade their bodies with cybernetic parts: there will be stronger robotic arms and better alcohol-burning artificial livers, and practically all people will be equipped with interfaces that allow them to get online anyway, anywhere. Specializing in stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Department 9 is led by the cyborg Major.

She/It is a unique creature, a masterpiece of the Hanka Robotics company: human consciousness is completely transferred to a robot body. Department 9 faces a new enemy whose only goal is to destroy the cyber-technological achievements of Hanka Robotics, which manufactures artificial intelligence robots.

Through technological implants, hackers are now able to take over human bodies. The investigation takes Major and her colleagues deep into the underworld of cyber hackers, where they also find pieces of Major’s forgotten origins. Directed by Rupert Sanders. As actors, e.g. Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbæk and Takeshi Kitano.

Thor – Ragnarök

Thor is once again focused on finding the Eternity Stones. However, his search has not progressed and it takes a new direction when he learns that his father Odin is no longer in Asgard. Thor finds out that Loki, disguised as Odin, has indeed ruled Asgard, and he forces his brother to join him in searching for his father.

The search for Odin takes a new turn when the goddess of death, Hela, is freed from her mystical prison and declares herself the ruler of Asgard, a kingdom of characters from Norse mythology. Thor unfortunately ends up imprisoned on the other side of the universe on a gladiator-loving planet, without his Mjölnir hammer. Thor and the crooked Loki have to join forces against Hela and they have to get back to Asgard in a hurry to prevent Ragnarök – the destruction of their home world and the end of the Asgardian civilization.

Before that, however, he must survive a life-threatening gladiatorial battle where he must face his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Hulk! Directed by Taika Waititi. As actors, e.g. Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Cate Blanchett.
