Chris Hemsworth requested that ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ be shot in Australia

Actor Chris Hemsworth says he had requested the makers of Thor: Ragnarok to shoot the film in Australia, and was lucky that they agreed to it.

“I asked if we could shoot in Australia and thankfully the Marvel guys said they would look into it but couldn’t promise anything. To me, to be home again for more than two weeks would be fantastic. And it worked out. It was so good,” Hemsworth said in a statement.

“It was so nice being there. There’s just such a familiarity with the crew and everything here. And I get to sleep in my own bed. But I also think there’s such wonderful talent here as well, in the cast and crew across the board. So it was fantastic. And the weather was brilliant. I don’t think we got rained out at all. It’s just been one of the best shoots I’ve been part of,” he added.
