\"\"Location shooting for Marvel Studio’s upcoming Thor: The Dark World<\/strong> should be a bit of a homecoming as the film will be traveling to Iceland, one of the homes of the Norse myths that helped inspire the comic book superhero.<\/p>\n

Icelandic film site Svarthofdi<\/a> (via filmophilia) is reporting that the country will be a location for the movie scheduled to go into production in just a few weeks in London.<\/p>\n

The country is familiar to director Alan Taylor who shot portions of his contributions to the second season of HBO’s Game Of Thrones<\/em> there. Additionally, the country has recent seen productions like Prometheus<\/strong> and the upcoming Tom Cruise actioner Oblivion<\/strong>, Darren Aronofsky\u2018s Noah<\/strong> and Ben Stiller\u2019s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty<\/strong> remake all film there.<\/p>\n

We know that the film will explore more of the mystical “Nine Realms” first mentioned in Thor<\/strong>. Christopher Eccelston has recently been cast<\/a> as Thor comics villain Malekith the Accursed, so it is possible that the country may be standing in for the character’s home world of Svartalfheim.<\/p>\n

Between this and the news that Iron Man 3<\/strong> will do some location filming in China<\/a>, I am really exciting that Marvel seems to be looking to spend a little of that Avengers<\/strong> money they earned this summer and are expanding the scope of their films. While they did do a decent job of making a Cleavland street look like midtown Manhattan for a portion of The Avengers<\/strong>, there is nothing like journeying to the actual location for shooting and the results should be readily apparent when Thor: The Dark World<\/strong> hits theaters on November 8, 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The production will journey to the home of the Norse mythology for shooting.<\/div>\n
