Thor: Ragnarok 2017 is the upcoming film in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe and Hulk’s bed located in the capital city of Sakaar, currently features in ‘Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe’.

Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Filmed from July to October 2016 in Queensland and Sydney, with the film having exclusive use of Village Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast, this is a rare opportunity to see the skull bed before its movie release this October.

Hulk’s bed was made by Marvel Studio’s sculpture department on the Gold Coast, led by Chris McMahon (Head of Sculpture) together with Dan Aird (2Ic Sculptor), sculptors Amelia Batchelor, Anke Nickel, Michael Taylor, Peter Rudd, Stuart Bowmon, Chris Geissman and Domenico Intelisano. The surface finish was completed by Marvel Studio’s scenic department, led by Chris Williams (Head of Scenic), Mark Kennedy (2Ic Scenic Artist), Kane Low (Scenic Forman), Kylie Simmers (Painter) and Nicola Geldenhuis (Brush Hand).

    Hear what happens to Marvel costumes after filming

    Ever wondered what happens to Marvel costumes after the movie wraps? Wendy Craig explains her role as Marvel Costume Department Supervisor where she organises, catalogues and controls all the past Marvel costumes and also prepares them for use in flash-backs and re-shoot continuity. For the first time together at GOMA, Craig explains the evolution of Caption America’s costume from its first suit, through to the Captain America Smithsonian Diorama and to the Avengers and Civil War versions – all the same but different in how their colour tones and their construction techniques evolved. Craig also shows us the tricks that Marvel use to keep the costume intact during action scenes, and how they bring Marvel’s heroic illustrations to life working with the reality of an actors body.

    Asgardian power is celebrated at GOMA

    Inspired by Norse mythology, Asgard is home to a proud intergalactic warrior race, first seen in Thor 2011 and later in Thor: The Dark World 2013. The Asgardians have been responsible for keeping the peace across the interconnected realms scattered throughout the stars, known as the Nine Realms. Ruled by Odin, King of Asgard, the realm of Asgard was home to Queen Frigga and sons Thor and Loki, until dynastic rivalry saw the family torn apart and Loki’s animosity spill across the universe, wreaking havoc on Earth. The ‘Asgard: Protector of the Nine Realms’ room in Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe’ celebrates the heart of Asgardian power – the Throne Room of Asgard. It features major set pieces from the forthcoming Thor: Ragnarok 2017, and costumes and weaponry from Thor: The Dark World 2013. The Nine Realms refers to a group of planets, cosmically distant from each other yet connected by the branches of Yggdrasil, the metaphysical ‘world tree’. At the head of tree is Asgard, ruled by a god-like people, including Odin and Thor, who aim to protect the other realms and the universe from evil forces. Other realms include Jotunheim, land of the Frost Giants; Svartalfheim and its Dark Elves; Midgard – the Asgardian name for Earth; and Niflheim, the location of Hel, where the dead of the Nine Realms dwell. Asgardian throne room Asgardian life Situated on opposite sides of the throne are two significant elements of Asgardian life – its history as detailed in the Book of Yggdrasil, depicting The Birth of the Nine Realms; and The Observatory, a gateway between Asgard and the rest of the universe. Gatekeeper of Asgard, Heimdall’s costume, sword and dais are also on display. Heimdall, a loyal, all-seeing and all-hearing Asgardian, is the Watcher of Worlds. His never-ending vigil over the Nine Realms sees him posted at an observatory at the entrance to the Bifrost Bridge, which is an Einstein-Rosen bridge, or wormhole, that connects Asgard to the other realms, including Earth. His sword, called Hofund, is the key to opening the Bridge.
