Mjolnir Looking To Make Return In Infinity War

One of the most anticipated movies that's set to arrive in theaters later this year is Thor: Ragnarok, and people have been pretty excited about it since the first trailer for the movie was released.  One of the most shocking scenes from the trailer shows Hela (played by Cate Blanchett) taking Mjolnir (Thor' hammer) and destroying it.  I mean, she shatters the thing to pieces!  The scene did more than just show Thor's hammer being destroyed, it showed us the awesome power that Hela has, and without her even saying a word, let us see that she is probably the strongest and most powerful enemy that Thor has come across.  So is this the last that fans will see of Mjolnir?


Doesn't look like it.  In a recent photograph that the Russo brothers have released on their official Instagram page, they shared a picture of them on location at Durham Castle filming a scene for the third Avengers film, Infinity War.  The caption at the bottom of the picture just says, "Worthy," and look what's being held in the background...Mjolnir!  Looks like you can't keep a good hammer down! 


Durham Castle, which many fans know was the place where a lot of the Harry Potter films were shot, seems to suggest that at least some of the film will take place in Asgard.  Joe Russo, one half of the directing team, says that it won't actually be Durham Castle in the movie, but the location will stand for something else. 


“Durham Cathedral is stunning and one of the great cathedrals of Europe. It’s beautiful. The movie is of an incredible scale and we need locations like Durham Cathedral to satisfy that level of scale. It won’t be represented as what it is, it is standing in for something else in the film but there will be a significant amount in the film.”


Sounds like the Avengers might be going off-world for the first time!  While we still don't know the how or the why of Mjolnir's return, it's nice to know that Thor's hammer won't be gone for very long.  Now let's all just hope that they don't make Captain America a Hydra agent in this one...
