Marvel fans are getting one treat after another. A new TV spot for "Thor: Ragnarok" shows the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) sporting new lightning tricks, while Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo accidentally live-streamed a few minutes of the movie during the Hollywood red carpet premiere.

A new television spot for "Thor: Ragnarok," the third in the "Thor" movie franchise, shows the superhero channeling lightning. While the sight is not new to fans of the Asgardian native, the spot does feature Thor doing a cool new trick with his lightning powers.

In the spot, Thor channels lightning into a spinning charge attack as he faces Hela, the Goddess of Death (Cate Blanchett). While the teaser does not show more than a second of the scene, it is enough to prove that the hero may be getting stronger as he further masters his powers.

Thor definitely needs to up his game in this film, as he must first go through a gladiator-like fight with his Avengers teammate Hulk before he faces the powerful Hela. The superhero has time against him, however, as Hela is keen on destroying Thor's home planet, in an Armageddon otherwise known as "Ragnarok."

All these are bound to get fans overexcited, but of course, the actors themselves are hyped, as well. Ruffalo planned only to keep fans updated as he attended the "Thor: Ragnarok" red carpet premiere, but he accidentally live-streamed parts of the movie for his viewers.

Ruffalo was live-streaming the event for fans on Instagram, but the actor forgot to turn the app off before he entered the theater.

Although the screen turned black, around 10–15 minutes of dialogue could be heard from the feed before it shut off.

From what fans are saying on Twitter, it does not seem like Ruffalo's feed dropped major spoilers, but there were around 2,000 fans who heard how "Thor: Ragnarok" begins.

The film officially opens in theaters on Friday, Nov. 3.
