One of the most underrated aspects ofthe Marvel Cinematic Universe(and it ’s a much - praised enfranchisement , so there are n’t many underrated aspect ) is its world - construction . The MCU has slowly work up its own version of our humanity .
It ’s a Earth where a race of Viking aliens lives in Norway and a cosmic warlord wipe out one-half of all life in the cosmos using six magical gem anda squad of superheroes used the same six gems to undo it . count this franchise started out in a cave , with a box seat of scraps , that ’s pretty impressive . So , here are The 10 Most Beautifully Designed Locations In The MCU , Ranked .
Sakaar
The optical stylus of Taika Waititi’sThor : Ragnarokwas intemperately influenced byFlash Gordon . TheThormovies should ’ve always been this zany and colourful and playfulness . The previous two pic had been mostly slow pastiches of dull Shakespearean drama . Waititi shook thing up with a wacky slapstick funniness .
The source stuff is a comic book about a Viking warrior who flies across the cosmos and battles mythical tool , so Waititi actually came closer than the previous films to capturing the emotional state of the quintessential geological era of Thor comic from the ‘ 60 . Sakaar is the junk planet ruled by anarchywhere the Grandmaster enslaves gladiators , including his “ wiz , ” the Hulk .
Hell’s Kitchen
It ’s tough to decide whether or not to include the Marvel / Netflix serial in the prescribed MCU canyon anymore , sincethey’ve all been canceledand Disney+ has made them redundant . But they ’re still heavy shows that be a dark side of the dealership than we got to see on the atomic number 47 filmdom , so it ’s worth at least considering them .
Those display have depicted their own version of New York ’s Hell ’s Kitchen neighborhood . In real life , Hell ’s Kitchen is the home to many shin actors and young Wall Street broker . But in the MCU , it ’s the seediest , most crime - ridden corner of New York , protected – or , rather , “ champion ” – by Daredevil , Luke Cage , Jessica Jones , and Iron Fist .
Kamar-Taj
Kamar - Taj is the ancient land where Stephen Strange is trained in the Mystic Arts by the Ancient One . In the cartoon strip , it ’s described as “ a hidden country high in the Himalayas , ” although its Tibetan locating was changed in the 2016Doctor Strangemovie – and the Ancient One wasdepicted as a Gaelic cleaning lady , as play off to a Tibetan man , which mother some controversy .
In Scott Derrickson ’s film , Kamar - Taj is give a beautiful atmosphere of religious mysticism and machination . The movie ’s main selling point is its disturbed ocular effect , but Kamar - Taj was at the inwardness of all the VFX involved in Strange ’s preparation .
Knowhere
accompany bythe sounds of David Bowie ’s “ Moonage Daydream,”Knowhere fusillade onto the filmdom in the firstGuardians of the Galaxymovie as the titulary team arrives to deal the Orb to the Collector . Located inside the huge , float , severed head of a Celestial , Knowhere is a monitor of just how massive the MCU ’s fictional world is , with mammoth beings wandering around space that are basically graven image .
Knowhere was pass over out inAvengers : Infinity Waras Thanos go far to take the Reality Stone from the Collector , butwe might see how it was first createdin the upcomingEternalsmovie .
New Asgard
At the conclusion ofThor : Ragnarok , Asgard was destroy , leave the hold out Asgardians without a home . So , they headed to Earth . But then , their ship was intercept by Thanos and the Black Order , and most of the surviving Asgardians were killed before they even reached their new menage .
The survivor of the survivor , who managed to avert Thanos ’ anger – includingfan favorites like Valkyrie and Korg – escaped and made it to Earth after all , establishing New Asgard in Tønsberg , the Norwegian Ithiel Town where Odin exiled himself before quietly cash in one’s chips . The shooting localization has since become a popular tourist place for MCU fans .
Ego’s planet
InGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , Peter Quill in the end meet his biologic forefather , and get hold that he was a “ living satellite ” – James Gunn even showed him as a satellite with a face , like in the strip , at one tip in the sequel ’s third act – who gave him torpid cosmic superpowers .
Ego ’s planet is the embodiment of everything Quill look from his forefather . They represent pinch with a beam of lightness . The surface is beautiful and phantasmagoric , while the catacomb are hiding the skeletal system of Ego ’s millions of utter youngster . Ego ’s major planet is beautiful in parts and disturbing in others .
The ruins of Titan
The third deed ofAvengers : Infinity Waris non - stop action as Earth ’s mighty heroes desperately ( and futilely ) tried to forbid Thanos from wipe out one-half of all life in the world . While the unfocussed , choppily edited conflict in Wakanda left a lot to be desire , there was plenteousness of excitement in the battle on Titan .
On Titan , Iron Man , Doctor Strange , Spider - Man , and the Guardians of the Galaxy fought Thanos himself . The setting had a thematic link to the story , since it ’s the decimated , off - kelter rest of Thanos ’ planet – a wasteland go out behind by the Titanians who reject to listen to Thanos ’ genocidal idea .
The Quantum Realm
After the monumental gut - clout ofAvengers : Infinity War , some fans felt it was an odd choice to follow it up withAnt - Man and the Waspthat summer . “ Where is Ant - Isle of Man ? ” was the last question on rooter ’ minds . But as it turns out , Ant - Man and the Waspwas placed very specifically afterInfinity War , to set up the Quantum Realm ’s pivotal role inAvengers : Endgame .
As a microverse that subsist between time and space , the Quantum Realm is a really trippy part of the MCU , and it has all the surreal imaging – like a kaleidoscope with infinite depth – to forge that home .
Asgard
Thanks to the groundwork laid down by Kenneth Branagh ’s initialThormovie , Asgard is one of the most richly detailed locations in the MCU . From Odin ’s can room to Heimdall ’s all - catch dominance of the Bifrost to the murals hiding drear historical secrets from other murals , Asgard feel like a real place ( well , as real as the Death Star or Mordor – speculative , but real in term of in - creation mythology ) .
InThe Dark World , Asgard was raided and partly destroyed , and then inRagnarok , it was altogether ruin by Thor ’s own doing . We discover that Asgard is n’t a position , but a people .
Wakanda
T’Challa had the advantage of being introduce inCaptain America : Civil Warbefore getting his own movie , but the nation that he harness over did n’t have that luxury . Ryan Coogler had to realize Wakanda ’s tribes , city , ceremonial , applied science , mode , euphony , armed forces , and daily life all while tell T’Challa ’s origin story in 2018’sBlack Panther .
It was one of those rarefied event where the humans - build weave in and out of the plotwithout deflect from the reference arcs . The Afrofuturistic aesthetic on display inBlack Panther ’s Wakanda - set scenes made it stand out among other big - budget sci - fi spectacles , and take on a feel of its own .
