This is my pitch by the way, you can tell me how it sounds:

First off, I'd like to rename the movie Thor: Thunderstrike as it should technically be the final film of the CMCU's Thor franchise. Unless of course you want to do another franchise with Eric Masterson, in which case keep it as is.

As for my plot pitch, many thousands of years ago there was a prosperous race called the Light Elves who lived in the realm of Alfheim, a land of indescribable beauty. But the Asgardians grew jealous of the Light Elves, and lead by Odin, tried to steal the realm from them. The Elves and their King Malekith never gave up and fought anything Odin threw at them, the then aggressive King thought that if his people couldn't have Alfheim, no other race could! Giving up his eye he summoned the mighty Muspielheim beast called Surtur to destroy everything, which it exactly did. For this tragedy Malekith gained a title, The Accursed and the people who survived relocated to a land they named Svartalfheim and were called The Dark Elves from there on.

Odin was deeply ashamed in hindsight over his actions and in order to make amends banished Surtur into the void and in order to keep his power forever at bay used Odinforce to break apart the Twilight Sword and spread it's pieces across all the realms.

This remained stable for years, all until The Enchantress made her portal in Blood Oath which released the weakened and frail Surtur from his prison. Loki, who also returned to the land of the living, took the beast's body and gives it Malekith. Explaining to him how Thor is dead, Odin is weak, and they have Surtur's body. The two of them can work together to find his Twilight Sword and use him it destroy Asgard, getting revenge from what Odin did to both of them during their lifetimes.

Eric Masterson, little do they know, has now taken up the mantle of Thor. But only on Earth performing good deeds around the United States (like a Superman-type figure), but when he's called to Asgard to stop this oncoming crisis he needs to uphold Richard's legacy by defending his home, a land he's never been to nor knows anything about. The whole movie would pretty much be an adventure, fish out of water type story. Except instead of an Asgardian adapting to Earth, it would be an Earthling adapting to Asgard.

What do you think? I personally believe this would be a really cool way to finish off the Thor trilogy.
