Thor: Ragnarok
In the latest trailer forThor : Ragnarok , Marvel ’s made a crowing variety to one of the marketing campaign ’s most iconic moments : Hela ruin Mjolnir , Thor ’s hammer . Is the resultant role of the celluloid ’s reshoots ?
A new telly spot released on Twitter for Taika Waitti’sThorthreequel get most people ’s attention for demo theGod of Thunder sat on the Throne of Asgard(albeit not unchallenged ) . However , it also contained a change to what we ’d seen before , with Hela ’s shattering of Mjolnir prompt from a New York back alley to a rolling , green landscape . you could check the clip below .
The pivotal moment has been widely assumed to come about near the start of the picture , just afterDoctor Strange ’s extended cameo . The locating synchronize with the expected function of the Sorcerer Supreme and both Hela and Thor take care different to how they do for most of the motion picture ; he is still sporting his long - issue hairstyle rather the trimness he gets when ostracise to Sakaar , while she ’s bedraggled and nothing like the fully - formed Goddess of Death we ’re coming to fear .

Now , it ’s potential that the Manhattan backdrop was only ever a placeholder and done in an attempt to mislead eagle - eyed trailer hounds - the context come loaded with expectations due to the Stephen Strange connection , so fans would straightaway theorize a backstory and take that as fact . That said , the scene has feature incredibly intricate CGI from its appearing inthe first teaser , whereas these green pastures betray much more wonky CGI.Reallywonky CGI . This would also seem to neutralize alternative solution like it being a vision of destruction or part of some bigger successiveness . It feels like something more is afoot here - change have come about .
Conversely , it could be a inverse marketing flip essay to move aid away from the events in New York . Just last workweek we made the very convincing hypothesis thatHela would regain her powers from the final Infinity Stone , which had been lie in in homely sight all along . This hinged on footage we ’d ascertain of the bowling alley sequence , so pitch it about could be an attempt by the studio apartment to dissuade fans . But digging deep reveal something more : reshoots .
The unrecorded - action portions of the sequence appear to be the same , mean for these shot it ’s just a suit of unexampled background plates being used . However , this is n’t the first time we ’ve seen this location . Back in August , Chris Hemsworth ’s personal flight simulator Luke Zocchi shared an image on Instagram of him on theThor : Ragnarokset . In the background , you could see Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston in costume and , quite clearly , this is Thor pre - haircut . This mean that , whatever ’s being glimpsed in the laggard , it was coupled with component from the set .

This is a " Throwback Thursday " post , so in theory could be from any time during production . However , Zocchi specified the solidifying was in Atlanta . While that ’s normal for most MCU productions , Ragnarok ’s master photography took space in Australia ; only its reshoots were in Georgia . This scene is the intersection of that period . We already knew that some other sequences were redone in pick - ups thanks to Hemsworth ’s stunt two-fold , Bobby Holland Hanton , sharing a picture of him and the actor in long - haired cast , but this evidences an real sack .
Thor 3 ’s reshoots ran for three weeksand finished just before SDCC 2017 . This collecting of information suggests that these involved a major location shift for the inciting incident ; the resilient - action shots of the hammer ’s death remain the same , but those around them changed . Of of course , what this mean for the movie as a whole is unclear ( and it ’s worth stating the required disclaimer that reshoots need n’t be the sign of systemic problems ) . The New York version may have simply not worked in the assembly cut due to tonic or narrative ground and so some alterations were postulate to make the scene run at its best . But it could be indicative of a bigger shift to Hela ’s rise to might , Thor ’s banishment , or something further .
That , or Taika Waitti want aHunt for the Wilderpeoplecrossover . We ’ll have to wait until November andThor : Ragnarok’stheatrical release to rule out .
UPDATE : Entertainment Tonighthave revealed more footage from the sequence , showing some broad shots of the tierce and a new slant of Hela grabbing the hammer :
Great new#ThorRagnarokfootage with Hela in action from ET . Thanks@JustinRamey2pic.twitter.com/P1tjfG2XdR — Rochi Shion ( @Marvel_Freshman)October 7 , 2017
The angle change further suggests a new version of the scene has been shot . Curiously , however , the end of their cartridge holder includes the original back street - set end from the tormentor . This may be an indication the sequence involves jumping between realm , but more believable is that it ’s but randomly reused footage .
