Thor: Ragnarok- Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston film on the largest Asgard set in the franchise's history

The film set for Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston's new movie, Thor: Ragnarok, is the largest in the franchise's history, according to reports. 

The Australian heartthrob and British actor started shooting the third installment of the Marvel epic at Movie World's studios in the Gold Coast last week.

A sprawling multi-storey complex, which will bring the fictional realm, Asgard, to life in the movie, is clearly visible at the studios and looks ready for filming.

The director, Taika Waititi, is understood to have moved away from using too much computer-generated imagery (CGI) and instead focused on a more realistic backdrop.

The Gold Coast Bulletin reported that the set was around 'two times bigger' than the other Asgard sets that have been built in the past. 

'It's normally mainly computer generated but they've taken a really practical approach with this set,' the worker said.

It is estimated that the film will spend $100 million in Queensland and create hundreds of local jobs during production.

Last month co-president of Marvel Studios Louis D'Esposito said Queensland offered an amazing and diverse backdrop for the action flick.

'We are very excited to bring this film to such an incredible locale,' he told Digital Spy.

'Marvel Studios would like to thank the Queensland Government for helping to make this a reality,' he added. 

'It's about two times bigger than the other Asgard sets that have been built in the past.

The film is slated for release in November 2017, and it is believed to draw some of its inspiration from the Planet Hulk comic book story line, where the infuriated green antihero takes over a planet after being beamed into space.

Heading the cast of the new film is Chris Hemsworth as Thor, while Mark Ruffalo will once again star as the Hulk.

Lady was stripped naked and brutally beaten for stealing someone else husband in China

This is the shocking moment a woman was brutally attacked by a gang of vicious thugs who tried to take her clothes off while kicking her in the head.  

The group of women punched, kicked and slapped the lady who had reportedly 'stolen' someone else's husband.

She was filmed helplessly screaming as she was sat on the ground in China, unable to defence herself.

At one point, the woman's top was pulled up - exposing her breasts - and she desperately tried to prevent the attackers from removing it completely.

She managed to keep hold of her shorts as the women tried to take them off while dragging her along the ground.

 They pulled her hair and kicked her and the violent attack was only temporarily stopped when a man wearing camouflage trousers stepped in.

But his intervention didn't prevent the women from attacking her as they continued to kick her in the head while she sat on the ground.

One of the women pulled her head back and savagely punched her in the face as the powerless female remained on the floor in a frail state.

Cristiano Ronaldo goes on holiday with son Ronaldo Jr. and mother Delores on a luxury yacht in Ibiza

 And Cristiano Ronaldo, 31, is recovering from the night of high drama in the best possible way, by holidaying in Ibiza with his family.

 Joining the Portuguese superstar was his mum Delores and son Cristiano Jr, and the family frolicked in the sun on the back of a luxury yacht, on Wednesday.

 The Real Madrid ace showed off his famously athletic physique in a pair of tiny fluorescent green shorts as he soaked up the sun at the rear of the vessel.

 Delores, 61, opted for a bright pink bikini and was spotted cooling off on the platform using the yacht's on-deck shower facility.

 After helping his mum rinse herself down, Cristiano climbed down into sea for a dip, swimming beside the yacht's dinghy.

 Cristiano Jr, five, wore turquoise swimshorts and gently lowered himself into the sea using the platform ladder to join his dad in the water.

 Back onboard, Ronaldo made his way to the comfy decking area where he reclined and soaked up some rays, his rippling abs on show.

 The three-time Ballon d'Or winner was given a rapturous reception, along with team-mates, by supporters when they landed in Lisbon, on Monday, with the Henri Delaunay Trophy, but Portugal's captain swiftly departed to celebrate with his nearest and dearest.

 'Travel with family,' he wrote on Instagram on Tuesday morning as he uploaded a picture of himself and six other family members jetting off to the White Isle.

 Ronaldo suffered a first-half knee injury in the final at the Stade de France after clashing with France playmaker Dmitri Payet.

  He was forced from the field in tears after initially trying to carry on through the pain.

But by the end of 120 minutes of tight action with few clear-cut chances, it was Ronaldo and the men in red who were celebrating as France had to suffer the pain of losing in front of their own fans due to Eder's extra-time strike.

Speaking after their success, teammate Ricardo Quaresma spoke of his admiration for Ronaldo.

'Even with the injury [Ronaldo] never stopped, he always supported the team and that's why I say, not just as a friend, that he is the only person I admire in football. I admire the strength he has,' Quaresma, who replaced Ronaldo, told O Jogo.

'We have a great captain, it is an honour to play alongside him and have him in the national team and all Portuguese people should be proud to have Cristiano.

'[His critics] speak of him and do not know him as a person. He is a great person, a great captain and he deserves everything he has achieved in football. He always has confidence and is positive and that's what he gave us.'

New Chelsea signing Michy Batshuayi's Lamborghini was spotted 24 hours after incident in Ibiza

The Belgian sensation was in hot water with the police on Monday after parking the £180,000 sports car under a tree in a park.
Batshuayi was pictured on Tuesday waiting in the shade as a tow truck hoisted away the rented vehicle for his parking misdemeanour.

But just 24 hours later, the car was back on the roads.
Batshuayi was forced to cover a £330 fine to cover the tow truck costs when his car was carried away earlier in the week.

A specialist crane was required to tow the vehicle as the flame-coloured sports car, which reaches speeds of up to 202mph, wouldn't fit on the normal tow truck.
Local press reported that the car had been rented under the name of Batshuayi's brother.
It is unknown, however, who was at the wheel when it was pictured near Ibiza airport.

Kylie Jenner has admitted she went too far with lip fillers when she first got them done

The teenager's pout transformed in a matter of months back in 2014 and looking back the now 18-year-old has confessed she got a little too excited about the procedure.
Speaking about her biggest beauty mistake to sister Kim Kardashian for Allure magazine, she said: "Well, I definitely made my lips a little too big at one point."
"I got excited and felt like I needed to do a lot. And then you guys were like, 'Kylie, you need to chill.'"
Joking she was almost a lip-filler horror story, she continued: "And then I had to go back and have it fixed, and it was a crazy process. Thank God I didn't end up on Botched."

It's not the first time Kylie has spoken out about her enhanced lips and revealed to the New York Times last September that changing her plastic surgeon to her sister's favourite Dr. Simon Ourian had given her a more natural look.
"He’s the best, and he’s super natural about it. I was going to somebody before, and it was just looking crazy," she said.
Kylie denied for almost a year that she had fillers, but finally confessed last summer that she had been getting temporary fillers.

Finally coming clean during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she said: "I have had temporary lip fillers. It's just something that I wanted to do."

Ashley Cole has been pictured smoking out and about in California as he continues his stint with LA Galaxy.
The ex-England full-back was spotted having a puff in the sun-bathed state as he was walking to get into a car.

He hasn't played in the league since getting his marching orders in the 'Cali Clasico' between Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes on June 26.

Cole was booked for a late challenge in stoppage time after Chad Barrett had snatched a last-gasp equaliser for the Earthquakes.

A melee ensued and he was given his marching orders by the referee.

Transfer of Touch: Robert Downey Jr. approves of BLACK Iron man

Controversy arises regarding the new Iron Man. While the onscreen Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. gives a stamp of approval on the hero being incarnated as a black woman in the upcoming comic book, opinion is divided across the internet. "Get ready for a new generation of Marvel BAMF...," the actor endorses Riri Williams as Tony Stark's successor in "Invincible Iron Man" written by Brian Michael Bendis.

They wish Marvel hired a black woman, instead of a white man, to write the story. "You aren't giving these characters their OWN identities. 'Black Female Iron Man' sounds like good publicity. But only good publicity," one voices their frustration. "You can't call these diverse stories without diverse voices," another points out. One more fan says, "I'm happy for all of these Black women leads in Marvel comics, but really wish the publisher would give Black women a chance to write them."

Kylie Jenner flaunt diamond ring as proof she's engaged to Tyga... claims are slammed

Kylie Jenner made sure all eyes were on her huge diamond ring last night as speculation she's engaged to boyfriend Tyga continued.
The teenager was pictured making her way through LAX on Wednesday after jetting in from Budapest where she had spent the last few days with the rapper and made sure the paps got a nice look at her new bling.

Holding her phone, adjusting her sunglasses and touching her hair as she walked through the terminal, Kylie appeared to be showing off the giant rock, which she was wearing on her wedding finger.
Rocking a midi dress in brown and a tan suede jacket with trainers the low-key outfit meant nothing distracted from her sparkling accessory.
The ring first made an appearance on her finger earlier this week, when the lip queen SnapChatted a close up look at the diamond.

Captioning the image "bae spoils," fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that the recently reunited couple were engaged.
She appears pretty happy with the gift and after touching back down in LA, it made another appearance on her SnapChat on Wednesday afternoon.

According to insiders though, the Rack City star hasn't popped the question.
"No they are not engaged!" a source told RadarOnline. "The pathetic thing is that Tyga did not even buy Kylie this diamond ring! He doesn't really buy her anything and she gets all of her jewelry on her own. Most of the stuff is gifted to her."

Kylie and Tyga ended their two year romance in May, but just a few weeks later and they were back together.

Mischa Barton goes topless in photo while on vacation in Greece

Mischa Barton proves she doesn't have to wear a lot to look amazing. While enjoying her vacation in Greece, the actress kindly showed the beauty of Mykonos as well as her bare boobs in a photo she recently posted on Instagram. Only rocking a pair of jeans, a necklace and nothing else, Barton perched on a balcony overlooking the ocean while smoking a cigarette. Complying with Instagram's no-nudity rule, she blurred out her own nipples. "Island vibes #Mykonos #Censored," so she captioned the snap.
Barton has apparently been feeling sexier than ever lately. Earlier this week, she posted another photo of her going braless. "Morning vibes !!! Monday lets do this. Hope everyone has a wonderful week Xoxo," she wrote alongside the image of her sitting on her bed and flaunting her cleavage as she left her denim shirt unbuttoned.

Kim Jong-un’s propaganda chiefs have claimed they have discovered a cancer-curing elixir - WATER

The spring water which gushes from a mountain close to the North Korean capital Pyongyang is said to have energy-giving properties and according to Kim's regime it can help North Korean workers toil until they are 90.
It is now being bottled and sold to Kim’s 27 million subjects "to prevent cancer and ageing".
It is not the first outlandish claim to come out of the secretive state.
Kim’s dad Kim Jong-Il apparently shot a 38-under par round on the country’s only golf course in 1994, including 11 holes-in-one. He then decided to retire from the sport for ever.
He was also said to change the weather through power of thought, learned to walk at three weeks old and was talking at eight weeks.

A report on the qualities of his son’s life-saving liquid released by the regime revealed: “Native villagers call it a “clear water” that gives mysterious energy. Many people over 90 are still healthy and working on the field.
“Researchers recently found out the water consists of smaller molecules.
“There are nano tracks in human’s cell membrane and only smaller molecule water can pass it.
“Such water is absorbed rapidly into human body to promote metabolism of cells and works as antioxidant to prevent the accumulation of peroxides, retard aging and prevent cancer.”
The water, likened to France’s famous Evian, is bottled in a factory at the foot of Mt Koryong.
The report added: “Geologists and management officials of the spring water factory have not yet measured the exact volume of water.
However, much they pump the water, it never diminishes.”
Kim’s scientists also claim to have more than 50 other anti-cancer treatments made from locally found plants like milkweed.
A newspaper in the hermit state revealed: “The Korea Oriental Medicine Development Centre has developed over 50 anti-cancer medicines that help accelerate immunity function and promote health.
“They are all made from extracts of medicinal materials and do neither addict their users nor produce side effects even if they are used for a long time.”
Boffins even claim to have developed an ointment from plants that dissolves tumours.
North Korean scientist Ryu Il Nam promised his people: “Cancer is not an incurable disease. We’ll continue to develop efficient anti-cancer drugs to protect human lives.”
Kim Jong-Il also wrote six full operas in two years, “all of which are better than any in the history of music,” according to his official biography, and wrote 1,500 books during his time at Kim Sung Il University.
A servant inspected every grain of rice served to him, removing any with ‘minor flaws’.

Euro 2016: Man kills himself after losing his last savings on bet for France to win

The mobile phone salesman, from Izhevsk, Russia, left a message on his social media account after the 1-0 defeat saying: "Thank you and forgive me."
Police said he walked onto the Ludzya-Izhevsk railway track and did not flinch as a train sounded a warning.

The driver said he had no time to stop after seeing the man on the track, it was reported.
Relatives revealed university educated Fidel was deeply shocked after Portugal beat France to win the tournament.
Fidel had taken out a series of loans but was unable to pay them back.
He had hoped winning the bet would allow him to repay his debts.
