Introduction
As anticipation builds for the release of Avengers: Doomsday, Chris Hemsworth has shared a bittersweet update: the much-loved MCU setting of New Asgard will not return in this new film. Since Infinity War, Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder, New Asgard has offered comic relief and heartfelt moments. Now, as the Avengers step into a new multiversal era, fans will need to say goodbye—at least for this chapter.
No Return to New Asgard: Hemsworth Sets the Record Straight
In a recent interview with Sunday Mail, Hemsworth reflected on his memories of shooting pivotal scenes in Scotland—the real-life stand-in for New Asgard. He praised the Highlands as “majestic” and the Scottish people as “amazing,” but broke the news that the Avengers’ next adventure wouldn’t revisit that setting.
“Filming The Avengers in Scotland was a really cool experience,” Hemsworth said. “It doesn’t look like we are coming back for Doomsday. But I’d love to not only visit there again but to film and do more work in the country. The people are amazing. There is something majestic about the Highlands, I’d love to do another movie there one day. It’s just a place made for an iconic battle scene. The backdrop is just stunning.”
Why New Asgard’s Absence Matters in Avengers: Doomsday
New Asgard was more than just another MCU stop. After the original Asgard’s destruction, this fishing village symbolized community, hope, and second chances for the Asgardian people. Scenes set here gave us “Bro Thor,” Korg, and memorable lighter moments between the chaos of cosmic war.
But Doomsday looks to raise the stakes. The new film appears set on larger-than-life locations—from cosmic arenas to reconstructed cities and multiverse battlegrounds—not the quiet coastal charm of New Asgard. For Thor, that means his next mission is bigger than defending his people’s home—it’s about fate and survival on a universal scale.
Behind the Scenes: Where Is Avengers: Doomsday Filming?
Marvel has shifted production away from Scotland, choosing other dramatic locations to fit the movie’s multiverse ambitions. While core filming happens at Pinewood Studios in England, the film’s cast—including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Simu Liu—has been spotted shooting scenes in Bahrain and elsewhere. This mix of settings promises a visual journey across both real-world and fantastical landscapes.

Looking Ahead: Thor’s Legacy and the MCU’s Next Era
With New Asgard off the table, Thor’s future in Doomsday becomes a journey of growth and cosmic consequence. The focus will shift from community life in a small village to world-shaking action and multiversal threats. Still, the love for New Asgard and its significance for Thor—and for fans—remains strong. Hemsworth’s expressed hope to return someday means we haven’t necessarily seen the last of those hills and harbors.
Conclusion
The Avengers: Doomsday will take the Marvel universe to thrilling new heights. Though fans may miss New Asgard’s warmth, the adventure is set to be bolder—with high stakes, a massive cast, and battles that ripple across reality.
