Scenes and places

Set in New Asgard (Norway, in the story) — The seaside village where surviving Asgardians live and give tours to visitors.

How to get there: Potts Hill Reservoir is still a working Sydney Water reservoir, so treat it as a place to see from outside. The photo shows nearby water pipes, not the set.

The plateau above the village

On the plateau above the village, the Mighty Thor statue and the Mjolnir shrine overlook the sea, and Valkyrie trains the village's children there. The cliff setting frames the heroes' goodbyes before they leave to find the missing children.
