Thor: Ragnarok starts production in Australia, first set pic revealed

For the first time since the Marvel Cinematic Universe began, we'll be getting three Marvel movies in one calendar year in 2017. One of those films is Thor: Ragnarok, and filming on the threequel has gotten underway in Australia this week. To commemorate the occasion, director Taika Waititi took to Twitter to share a set photo.

The Russo Brothers were pretty active on social media while working on Captain America: Civil War, and I get the sense that that might carry over into Thor: Ragnarok. Time will tell...

Directed by Taika Waititi and starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, Karl Urban, and Mark Ruffalo, Thor: Ragnarok will be released in UK cinemas on October 27, 2017 before opening in US theatres on November 3, 2017.
