Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Where Thor: Ragnarok says it takes place, and where it was really shot.

Most of a film that crosses the cosmos was built on one Queensland film lot, and New York was Brisbane

Scenes and places

Thor, caged and talking to a skeleton, tells how he searched the cosmos for the Infinity Stones. Brought before the fire demon Surtur, who vows to destroy Asgard, he breaks free to fight.

Set in Asgard — The golden home of the gods, reached by the Bifrost.

An invented realm; the film's Asgard set is in Queensland, Australia.

Filmed at Village Roadshow Studios, Oxenford, Gold Coast (Village Roadshow Studios, Oxenford, Gold Coast, Australia) — The outdoor Asgard set was built here, took about four months and roughly 450 construction workers, and the film used all nine sound stages.

Filming ran four days and the main streets were closed for five days; Mary, Albert and Margaret Streets were closed, and one report puts Monday-morning filming at the Margaret and Albert corner.

Hela reaches Asgard and takes control of the city. She says Odin's empire was built on conquest and faces Skurge and the Asgardians in the palace halls.

Set in Asgard, after Hela's arrival — The same city, now ruled by Hela.

The same invented city; this storyline cuts back and forth with Sakaar, so its place in the order is approximate.
