New Asgard, Norway | MCU: Location Scout

Kind of a step down from the golden palaces and the magic hammers and whatnot.

New Asgard, Tønsberg, Norway

The stand-in for the town of Tønsberg in the film is the seaside community of St. Abbs in Scotland. The specific building that Hulk and Rocket enter looking for Thor, was called the Cormorant & Tun Pub for the film.

For Thor: Love and Thunder footage of St. Abbs was combined with the village set location in Sydney and other backgrounds (including cruise ships) to create a new, touristy version of New Asgard.
