The Australian Government recently revealed filming for Thor: Ragnarok would be taking place in their country. Following that news, Marvel have revealed details on when pre-production and principal photography will take place for the third Thor film.
Pre-production in Queensland will take place in January 2016, with filming to follow in June 2016 at the same location.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is quoted as saying the following:
“This is a huge win for Queensland and I am thrilled that Thor will be filming exclusively in our state. As our economy diversifies, Queensland is demonstrating its strength as a lead destination for filmmakers both internationally and locally, and my government is doing what it can to ensure that Queensland remains a global hub for the screen sector. The production will spend more than $100 million AUD in Queensland and will employ over 750 Queensland crew.”
Furthermore, Marvel Studios Co-President Louis D’Esposito is quoted as saying the following:
“Queensland offers an amazing and diverse backdrop for ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and we are very excited to bring this film to such an incredible locale. Marvel Studios would like to thank the Queensland Government for helping to make this a reality.”
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled for release on November 3rd, 2017.
