Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi host a tour of the New Asgard set in a new behind-the-scenes video ahead of Thor: Love and Thunder's release. Hemsworth reprises his role as Marvel's Norse God of Thunder in Waititi's sequel to Thor: Ragnarok. Thor: Love and Thunder also stars Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Russell Crowe, and Christian Bale alongside Hemsworth and Waititi.
New Asgard is one of the MCU's most storied and developed locations. Known initially as Tønsberg in Phase 1 in films likeThor and Captain America: The First Avenger, it became the site of Odin's (Sir Anthony Hopkins) final moments in Thor: Ragnarok, where he said farewell to Thor and Loki (Tom Hiddleston). After the refugee Asgardians survived Thanos' (Josh Brolin) assault in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame showed that the new residents had helped develop a new community, with Valkyrie (Thompson) becoming their king. With New Asgard growing into a thriving tourist location, Thor: Love and Thunder will revisit the town once more during its typical everyday state and amid epic battles. In a recent video, Hemsworth and Waititi have given fans a glimpse at the set.
