Massive Asgardian Set Being Built On Australia's Gold Coast For THOR: RAGNAROK
We've already seen a handful of photos from the set of Thor: Ragnarok, but the latest shots show just how massive Marvel's practical Asgard is going to be in the movie as they seemingly move away from CGI...
Asgard has always had a practical element to it in the Thor movies, but it appears as if director Taika Waititi will be taking that to the next level in Thor: Ragnarok. As you can see below, he's had a massive chunk of the God of Thunder's home constructed on Australia's Gold Coast, and while special effects will obviously build on that, this most definitely feels like a step in the right direction for the franchise.
Why has such a large chunk of Asgard been created with practical sets? Time will tell, but it's hard to imagine it being used for just a single scene in the movie. For all we know, this is where Hela marches her army into the realm, but if more photos like these surface, we'll get to find out whether or not that's the case soon enough. For now, feel free to weigh in with your thoughts and theories below.
Also starring Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, and Karl Urban, Thor: Ragnarok is set to be released on November 3rd, 2017.
