Synopsis:
In Marvel Studios’ ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!

THE Gold Coast will be reborn today as the centre of Marvel’s universe as Thor: Ragnarok’s galaxy of superhero stars converge on the city for a gladiator-style showdown.
The blockbuster’s A-list leading men were spotted out and about on the Coast at the weekend as production crew worked hammer and tong to finish one of the huge outdoor sets being built for the film on the lot at Village Roadshow Studios, Oxenford.
As Thor: Ragnarok’s cast rolled in, a small army of crew worked through the weekend as they race to finish building a huge outdoor village circling what looks to be a Gladiator-style battleground on the western side of the studio lot.
The arena — the perfect place to launch a Mjolnir (Thor’s hammer) — adds weight to reports Thor: Ragnarok’s storyline will see Thor encounter the Hulk on a violent planet where The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) has forced Hulk to compete in Gladiator-style games.
Production sources said the outdoor set was “three-quarters” done.
“They’re running about two weeks behind schedule but that’s not that unusual for a film of this scale,” a source said.
“It just means they won’t have as many “rain days” in the production schedule.”
Several space ships will also feature in the film, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirming “80 to 90 per cent” of Thor: Ragnarok’s story “takes place in the cosmos”.
“There are only a couple of scenes on Earth in this movie, ” he said.
