On the heels of confirmation that Thor: Ragnarok will see actor Mark Ruffalo Hulk-out once again, we now know where else the God of Thunder and the Jade Giant will be teaming up once filming gets underway later next year. It was previously reported that Disney was considering Australia for production on the 2017 Marvel threequel, but now Hemsworth himself, as well as the Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, have confirmed that Ragnarok will be filmed in the Aussie actor's homeland.

"I wanted to say a huge thank you to the federal government, particularly the Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Minister for the Arts Mitch Fifield for making it possible for Thor: Ragnarok to shoot here in Australia," Chris Hemsworth said. "I'm incredibly excited to be coming back home to work. [...] I look forward to introducing my Marvel friends to this beautiful country of ours."

When it was initially reported that Marvel/Disney were keen on bringing Thor: Ragnarok to Australia, it was also said that Captain Marvel might also be shot in the country. However, considering that project is scheduled for release nearly four years from now, don't expect any updates on that front anytime soon. Anyhow, in addition to Ragnarok, it was also announced that Ridley Scott's next Alien movie will also be utilizing Australia's tropical beaches and jungles. 



Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, Anthony Hopkins, and Mark Ruffalo, Thor: Ragnarok is currently being scripted by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle with Taika Waititi set to direct, and is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 3, 2017.

What a shame. How are Thor and Hulk going to play a role in Infinity War if the actors get killed during filming by giant spiders, snakes, and other Australian wildlife?

Just like all the other Thor movies, it'll be enjoyable in theaters but once you get into your car, you'll realize what a bland piece of shit you just watched.

We don't need Hemsworth to confirm this. The studio already confirmed it, and it was announced last night by Screen Australia, the country's film commission.

Hopefully will give this film a good look.

By the way, Hemsworth is essentially thanking the government for giving Marvel Studios over $34 million dollars in tax breaks.

The Aussie people are paying for the film to be shot there.

Same goes with every studio production, though.

The film industry is essentially taking advantage of corporate welfare.

Marvel should use those raining spiders in Aussie for Thor: Ragnarok @staypuffed.

@PsychoticSpaceRaccoon Isn't this allowing the creation of several thousand jobs though?

Win-win.

I would rather Hulk than Jane. I mean if they have to throw an earthling in there just so it's connected to earth in some way, wouldn't you rather have Hulk than Jane? Then Thor and Sif can bump uglies.....cause you know...the zip code rule...

Well, to be fair, that's been the Thor complaint for the comics and every other media too. Maybe, just maybe, this movie will show Thor as the clear victor and Thor fans around the world will rejoice.

Marvel really missed the mark with Thor's movies. They could have went with a LOTR or GOT feel with his movies, plus he's so under powered. I can't see anyone caring for this movie.
