Thor Ragnarok Odin Scene Location
And the rest was cgi.
Thor ragnarok odin scene location. Image courtesy of marvel studios the natural environment of the rainforest on tamborine mountain in south east queensland was used for a scene with actor idris elba as heimdall. They used photos from norways lofoten islands as reference for the cliffs and ocean view. Ragnarok director taika waititi has explained why the location of one of the movies key scenes was altered late in the day.
And for the coastal topography they used photo references of port talbot in wales because thats where anthony hopkins is from. Also the test audiences felt bummed out about odin dying next to trash and garbage in an alley. The third solo outing for marvels god of thunder is a markedly more comedic venture than the previous two movies in the series but has been met with both financial success and critical acclaim thus far.
If you saw the trailer theres a scene where odin dies in new york. For various reasons we wanted to get them out of new york and set up this place for avengers. We wanted to seed this location earlier to set up asgards new home.
Most of the scene with odin and then hela was staged on a field in atlanta georgia. Spoilers ahead for thor.
