Filming Locations: Where was Thor Ragnarok filmed?

Thor part 3 is the sequel to The Dark World and the seventeenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Thor: Ragnarok was entirely filmed in Australia's Gold Coast, apart from a few reshoots recorded in Atlanta.

On this occasion, the hammer-wielding god is teaming up with Hulk and his treacherous brother Loki to save planet Asgard from Hela, goddess of death.

Chris Hemsworth leads the returning cast as Thor, The Night Manager Tom Hiddleston plays Loki, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk and Cate Blanchett stars as Hela.

New Zealand director Taika Waititi, known for his acclaimed comedies What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, is expected to bring some humor to the popular superheroes franchise.

This is our spoiler-free compilation of the most interesting filming locations for this epic production.

A fantasy film of this size and scale includes lots of CGI landscapes. However, the production opted for building many practical sets, giving a more realistic feel to the ensemble.

36 sets, some of them massive, were constructed at Village Roadshow Studios in Oxenford (Queensland), the same location where Godzilla was filmed.

The amazing outdoor Asgard set took 4 months and around 450 construction workers to complete.

Chris Hemsworth also starred in the 2020 Netflix movie Extraction, partially filmed in the Australian Kimberley region.

The magnificent colorful set of Planet Sakaar was also erected on a lot of the Australian studios.

Thor: Ragnarok occupied all nine of Village Roadshow sound stages.

The natural environment of the rainforest on Tamborine Mountain in South East Queensland was used for a scene with actor Idris Elba playing Heimdall.

This scenic area was also a featured filming location in Kong Skull Island and Pirates of the Caribbean 5 - Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The scene where Thor and Loki arrive in New York and Loki falls through the magical hole was filmed at an intersection between Margaret Street and Albert Street in Brisbane.
