Thor: Ragnarok coming to New York City

After new set photos were released, It looks like Thor:Ragnarok will take place in New York as well. The film’s NY set is being built throughout downtown Brisbane. A line of yellow taxis, a school bus, and an ambulance with New York decals were seen on location. And, what’s more, local traffic signals were given a makeover as workers placed yellow casings around them to mimic New York’s lights. In a letter to locals, Duncan Jones writes,

Whilst we will make every effort to reduce disruption, please anticipate short delays due to traffic detours and traffic and pedestrian hold and releases. These delays are necessary to maintain public safety throughout filming, and we kindly ask for your patience. To you, the people of Brisbane, we are grateful for your understanding and support…This is a unique experience for us all and we look forward to showing the world how wonderful you and your beautiful city is.

What are your thoughts on the use of NYC in the upcoming Thor film?
