Thor and Loki’s Marvel Magic Transform Brisbane into Cinematic New York

Actors Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth visited Brisbane, Australia, while filming “Thor: Ragnarok.”

Brisbane’s locals gathered in the city center to catch a glimpse of actors Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth, who play Thor and Loki in Marvel’s epic superhero movies.

On the day, the crew filmed shots of Hiddleston and Hemsworth, as Loki and Thor, simply talking together on the corner of the main street. There were no action scenes noticed.

In the course of filming “Thor: Ragnarok”, Brisbane’s business center was packed with yellow cabs, blue and white police cars and ‘Americanisms’ to make it look like New York.

The producers announced that “Thor: Ragnarok” will be released in cinemas in late 2017.
