Marvel and Sony made the big announcement this week that "Spider Man" would be crossing over to the Marvel's Cinematic Universe, potentially appearing in existing titles such as "Captain America" and "Avengers."

This also meant that Marvel had to make changes to their previously announced list of movies to be released all the way up to 2019 - of course, Marvel obliged.

"Thor: Ragnarok" has been most affected by Spidey's arrival as it had to give up its Jul. 28, 2017 release date to the webslinger for his first Marvel produced film. Fans and followers will have to wait as the hammer-wielding demigod's next movie has been delayed to Nov. 3, 2018.

It also affected two more titles: "Black Panther" getting a new release date, Jul. 6, 2019. Same is the case with Marvel's first female-led title "Captain Marvel," now scheduled for a Nov. 2, 2018 release.

As if Thor hasn't suffered enough, speculations on his third movie's plot reports that Asgard will be no more in the upcoming film as it will get destroyed, bringing him to a path of destruction making him "unworthy" of his power, ultimately leading to his death.

Appropriately, Ragnarok in Norse mythology translate to a series of apocalyptic events that lead to the world's ruin - the movie's plot might paint a similar picture.

Before "Thor: Ragnarok," Chris Hemsworth is set to reprise his role in the upcoming "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as he joins the earth's mightiest in battling their new enemy, Ultron.

Co-starring Hemsworth in "Age of Ultron" is Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark aka Captain America, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers aka Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner aka The Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton aka Hawkeye and James Spader as the voice of Ultron.

"Age of Ultron" arrives in theaters on May 1.
