Marvel Is Bringing THOR: RAGNAROK To Georgia Too
It seems the God of Thunder's (Chris Hemsworth) third standalone outing will be following Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2 in using the new filming studio in Fayetteville, Georgia, as its base of operation. Check it out after the jump!
Marvel Studios is seemingly taking full advantage of the newly built Pinewood Atlanta Studios, in which Ant-Man was the first movie to be filmed, in Fayetteville, Georgia. Captain America: Civil War just wrapped production in the peach state last month, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2 is scheduled to start shooting there in February next year. Now according to Twitter's informative Filming In Georgia, filming for Thor: Ragnarok will also take place at the Pinewood Atlanta Studios.
It was previously reported that Marvel Studios were considering shooting Chris Hemsworth's fifth turn as the Odinson overseas in Australia, but there is no word on whether or not that deal may come to fruition with Georgia set in stone. The Herald Sun reported late last week that the 2017 threequel would be the first movie shot in the Village Roadshow Studios that is currently being built in Oxenford, Australia. Apparently, the company is hoping to finish construction in time for both Thor: Ragnarok and Captain Marvel to use the sound stages before 2018's Commonwealth Games.
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, and Anthony Hopkins, Thor: Ragnarok is currently being scripted by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle with no director yet attached, and is now set to be released in theaters on November 3, 2017. What do you think?
