Potential THOR: RAGNAROK And CAPTAIN MARVEL Shooting Location Revealed
Neither movie has a director attached and one doesn't even have a cast, but Captain Marvel and Thor: Ragnarok may be taking advantage of the tropical beaches and jungle of a certain international location; and it's one where no Marvel Studios production has ever gone before.
Now that filming for Captain America: Civil War can be marked off of Marvel's to-do list, and production on Doctor Strange is gearing up for a November start date, the studio will soon focus attention on its third "Phase Three" movie, Thor: Ragnarok. There is no director yet attached, nor has there been any casting news beyond the actors expected to reprise their Asgardian roles. However, Chris Hemsworth's fifth turn as the God of Thunder may already have a filming location.
According to Yahoo7 News, Disney has been so pleased with shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in Australia, that they are now considering bringing both Thor: Ragnarok and Captain Marvel to the Oceanian country. “They were also able to work across a lot of different locations which has saved them scouting for the Marvel movie,” said the source. While Marvel's first female-led superhero movie wouldn't start production for another year or so, the God of Thunder's third solo outing "would shoot in Queensland early next year, with production beginning in earnest in March." This would be especially convient for leading Chris Hemsworth given the Aussie actor currently lives not too far from where the proposed filming would occur.
Australia is also where principal photography is scheduled to take place for Kong: Skull Island, which stars Tom Hiddleston who is set to return as the God of Mischief Loki in Thor: Ragnarok.
With summer just about over, hopefully we will find out who Marvel Studios is at least considering to direct and star in Thor: Ragnarok and Captain Marvel. In the meantime, look for the former movie in theaters on November 3, 2017, and the latter on November 2, 2018. What do you think?
