From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The cast of Thor: Ragnarok has been growing exponentially in the last few week, with numerous acclaimed actors - including Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, and Karl Urban - joining the already stellar cast of Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, and Idris Elba.

Thanks to the latest new cast addition, there’s even going to be a Jurassic Park cast reunion in the film; speaking to Shortlist, Sam Neil revealed he will also feature in the Marvel film (Goldblum being the other cast member who featured in Jurassic Park).

“I’m not really allowed to say this and I can’t tell you what it is… I did a couple of days on Thor just before I came over here,” Neill told the publication, adding how he “had to sign all sorts of things. So if I say anything else, Marvel’s secret agents — and they are lethal — will come and get me and probably my children, as well.”

Neil recently worked with Ragnarok director Taika Waititi on the New Zealand-based film Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Plot details for the upcoming superhero film have been kept under wraps yet the film is expected to be based somewhat on the comic-book storyline Planet Hulk, Mark Ruffalo returning as the green monster for the film.

Meanwhile, Neil recently spoke to The Independent with Wilderpeople co-star Julian Dennison, the duo taking our Haiku challenge.
