Hulk stomping Thor there!

That is one scary wig on the wall behind him. It's like something you'd pull out of a drain.

Loki fans are terrible...

Loki fans are terrible...

Agreed.

Siblings do stuff like that all the time. It IS hilarious! Don't get me wrong, I love Loki, but he deserves to get the ever-loving crap beaten out of him (can I say that here?) by the Hulk for the number of people he's killed and times he's betrayed Thor.

Am I the only one who thinks that the object in the lower left corner of that still looks a lot like Mjolnir?

Also sorry legendkillin in response to this:

I would like to see a lot more variety consistently in the way Thor uses his powers. Unlike quite a lot of other heroes he has a lot of things in his arsenal and I don't want to see him focus too much on punching and hitting guys with his hammer (or even doing WWE moves lol). We have seen hints of what else he can do but I would like to see these more exotic techniques integrated into his fighting more often.

Like this?

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Whelp...I need this to wash the stench of inhumans off of me.

 

[liveman789]

They should both make it.
We know IWs has some Asgard scenes with most of the characters. I don't think Strange can transport everyone but Heimdall can locate and transport most.

I don't know. I can see Heimdall being a character death if we get any in this movie. Especially if he is connected to the soul stone.

I'd welcome more of him of course, though.

 

[BigThor]

I want to finally see Heimdall get a proper fight scene with a formidable opponent.

 

[HammerDown]

I read that tickets for the movie go on sale Thursday. Anyone can confirm it?

 

[Iceman]

Like this?

Yep, that'll do nicely.

 

[HammerDown]

A nice looking wider poster.

Loki fans are terrible...

We should all gather with picket signs in front of the theater to protest, because we all know Loki just needs a hug. lol.
Sorry, Thor pegging him with small objects is funny.

After filming Thor: Ragnarok Down in Australia, Marvel says it would come back ‘in a heartbeat’

Spoiler

THE shooting of Thor: Ragnarok on the Gold Coast last year could be the start of an influx of superhero movies shooting in Australia.

Rival DC franchise movie Aquaman is currently being filmed at the same Village Roadshow Studios and powerhouse superhero stable Marvel, the makers of Thor, say they’d shoot another movie Down Under “in a heartbeat”.

While leading man Chris Hemsworth filmed a gladiatorial battle scene on the Thor: Ragnarok set last October, Marvel’s on-ground producer Brad Winderbaum said the country had been “amazing”.

“When we first were thinking about how to shoot the project, Australia was the exciting idea. The question was, is the incentive (government rebate) going to work out for the corporate guys?” he said.

“But from a creative point of view it was by far the most exciting option. We were looking at the natural beauty of the place – there’s so much great natural wonder very close by that we could put on screen for the first time.

“I would shoot another movie out here in a heartbeat. It’s a great place to work, it’s a great place to live for months and months. I would recommend shooting here to anyone.”

Thor: Ragnarok – the third headline movie for Hemsworth’s Nordic god – took over the entirety of Village Roadshow Studios from July through the end of October 2016, with Hemsworth shuttling between the Gold Coast and his home in Byron Bay.

“I do a few days down there in Byron and a few days up here and vice versa with my wife and the kids,” Hemsworth said.

“It’s just been so nice to sleep in my own bed and do all those things that I’ve missed for the last 10 years ’cos I’ve been elsewhere.”

For four days last August, the production also ventured to Brisbane, shutting down a CBD street and laneway as the Queensland capital doubled for New York.

Photographs of Hemsworth and co-star Tom Hiddleston greeting fans between takes were seen around the world. Hemsworth described the experience of filming on the streets of Brisbane as one that “doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world”.

And an image deliberately leaked by Marvel, linking another favourite Marvel character, Doctor Strange, to Ragnarok had fanboys in a frenzy.

“We’ve shot in Central Park in New York and people are pretty jaded by film crews there, they’re like, ‘Get out of the way!’ Whereas here, the whole city felt like it stopped. There were more people there than I’d seen at any premiere I’d done, so that was pretty special.”

Ragnarok’s New Zealand director Taika Waititi said Brisbane fans waited all day for Hemsworth and Hiddleston to say hello, but remained “polite and respectful” at all times.

“When we were shooting they would all shut up and then they’d all start screaming again once we called cut. It was so weird.”

If there are any downsides to filming a huge blockbuster in Australia, Marvel’s Winderbaum couldn’t think of any.

“I’m tempted to say the distance from our home base, but the reality is that offers some benefits as well,” he said with a laugh.

Stars jetted in and out of Australia during the shoot, with Sir Anthony Hopkins spending six days on set, Idris Elba eight days, Jeff Goldblum seven days, Mark Ruffalo four weeks and the movie’s centrepiece villain, Cate Blanchett, seven weeks.

Sam Neill also dropped in for a couple of days to shoot a part that remains a secret.

After Australia’s embrace of Waititi’s Kiwi comedy Hunt for the Wilderpeople last year, the director riffed about the prospect of moving across the Tasman.

“Man, they love us over here: me, Russell Crowe and Phar Lap.”

Hemsworth, who is now back in Australia after a stint living in LA, said he’d love to shoot every movie at home.

“So I’m certainly trying to push that when I can,” he said.

Good! Film the next 15 Thor films there!

Loki fans are terrible...

What?? So Loki can lie, cheat, murder innocent people and, let's not forget, try and commit an act of genocide on a whole planet of Frost Giants and that's okay, but Thor is an 'abusive *****ebag' because he throws something at Loki that doesn't even injure him in any way? What the hel(l) are these people smoking, and can I get some? I love Loki but his fanbrats really are the worst. I saw some throwing ***** fits about Hela knocking him out of the Bifrost in the trailer too. I hope Hela beats the crap out of Loki in the film so I can witness them all totally lose their **** collectively.

I want to finally see Heimdall get a proper fight scene with a formidable opponent.

Heimdall vs. Skurge would be a really cool fight, I can imagine Skurge being strong enough to give Heimdall some real trouble. He'd lose against Hela though, big time.

I read that tickets for the movie go on sale Thursday. Anyone can confirm it?

I wish I could, I hope so though. I want to reserve my seat for opening day. t:

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I really wish we could see Thor be paired with Donald Blake. I feel like Thor need a big change. This movie looks like a step in the right direction, but the Blake/Thor dynamic is one that I've always been fond of.

Unfortunately i can't copy the text and translated it to you guys because of the way the arranged the article to be seen. I could read/write and translate it but it's gonna take a while to get everything done.

I miss the long hair already.

By the way, I think the whole "putting together a team" line is getting a bit played out in CBM's.

Thank YOU!

Not just the line, the whole team up aspect itself is starting to get a little stale.

I seriously rolled my eyes at it when I heard it in the TV spot. It's such a corny ass line.

I first heard it in the official trailer.

Thanks for that HD, there's some very interesting stuff in there. I used google translate to translate the page, but it won't let you copy and paste the main parts of the article. The part about there being more practical sets than the previous Thor films and how we're going to see a lot more of different parts of Asgard is awesome. The stuff about Hela also makes me really excited, I love that it sounds like we're getting a really interesting back story and motivation for her. I can hopefully try and post some of the translations tomorrow.

Hopefully it works better in the context of the film. Lines like that always seem way cheesier in the promos. Or maybe it's not even in the film at all, which would be a pleasant surprise.
