Despite the Marvel crew seemingly going out of their way to make sure bystanders couldn’t see the costumes nor the scene being filmed, which takes place in a “New York City alley,” amateur photos show Hiddleston’s leathery green suit partially covered in between takes. Furthermore, only the bottom of Hemsworth’s new God of Thunder threads was visible.
As for the abovementioned mystery lady, The Courier Mail claimed her to be Cate Blanchett wearing the full Hela costume, while the Daily Mail suggests that it’s Jaimie Alexander finally making her return as Lady Sif. However, upon a closer look, both sources are wrong. The actress doesn’t appear to be any Thor: Ragnarok cast member previously-announced, so who is she in the film? We may not find out any time soon, especially considering filming has reportedly already moved back to Australia’s Gold Coast, but we can always speculate. Find out who we think it might be (and why) after you check out the set photos below.
Of course, it would seem a bit weird for Gaea to be interacting with Thor, Odin, and Loki in a New York alley, especially since Frigga is believed to be Thor’s birth mother in the movies. However, Thor: Ragnarok location manager Duncan Jones has teased there being “a few curveballs” in the scene (via 9 News) whatever that means. If not Gaea, who do you think?
Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok is directed by Taika Waititi, and it stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Idris Elba (Heimdall), Sir Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), Karl Urban (Skurge), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), with Jeff Goldblum (Grandmaster) and Cate Blanchett (Hela). And Thor: Ragnarok is set to open in theaters on November 3, 2017.
