Several moments in Thor: Ragnarok immediately signal to the audience that Taika Waititi is about to amp up the fun: the needle drop of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” the moment when Thor runs into his “friend from work” The Hulk, and of course when Oscar-nominee Jeff Goldblum makes a “what’s he doing here?” appearance as the sadistic Grandmaster.

Goldblum’s history of wily roles — he’s especially great as a sleazy lawyer in Deep Cover — lets the audience know right away that the Grandmaster will be a dangerous foe, always thinking several moves ahead.
