CASTS and crews working on US feature film Kong: Skull Island and Chinese-Australian co-production The Nest will bump out of Village Roadshow Studios next week to make way for Marvel’s mighty God of Thunder.

Pre-production work on Thor: Ragnarok will hit full swing from February 14 as artistic, creative and technical crew move in to the sound stages vacated by Skull Island and arachnophobic thriller, The Nest.

Thor: Ragnarok and Skull Island, both due for release in 2017, could have more in common than US actor Tom Hiddleston.

Hiddleston will reprise his role as Loki (Thor, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World) alongside Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Jaimie Alexander as Lady Sif and franchise newcomer Cate Blanchett as Hela, when Thor: Ragnarok begins filming in June.

And he might not be the only Skull Island star pulling double duty, shooting back-to-back films on the Coast.

Thor: Ragnarok is expected to boast multiple Marvel heroes as it sets up events for Avengers: Infinity War, a two-parter that will unite 67 characters when it hits screens in 2018-2019.

A veteran of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Skull Island actor Samuel L. Jackson played Nick Fury in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

He’s tipped to join Hemsworth and Hiddleston on the Oxenford lot for Thor: Ragnarok.

His Skull Island casemates John C. Riley (Guardians of the Galaxy), Corey Hawkins (Iron Man 3) and British actor Toby Kebbell (Fantastic Four) have also enjoyed roles in Marvel movies that could bring them back to the Thor set.

Workers have given The Nest and Skull Island shoots the thumbs up and praised directors Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Skull Island) and Kimble Rendall (The Nest) for the great working atmosphere on their sets.

“It’s been long days and plenty of hard work but everyone has been terrific to work with,” a Nest insider said.

While work on The Nest continues today, the film’s wrap party was held last weekend while most of the cast were still around.

Leading man, Twilight actor Kellan Lutz rocked up for his last day of filming on Wednesday with gifts for his casemates and crew.

“He was handing out iPads and TVs and all sorts of electrical goods,” an insider said.

“Kellan’s a method actor. He’s terribly focused but totally approachable.”

Aussie actors Jason Chong and Shane Jacobson also finished work on The Nest this week while US-based Aussie actor Stef Dawson (The Hunger Games) flew back to the US last week.

Kelsey Grammer — “a true gentleman” according to the insider — wrapped his short but sweet stint on the Coast on January 14.

The Nest’s Chinese actors, Li Bingbing and Chinese heart-throb Wu Zun, were still filming scenes on the Oxenford lot yesterday but are expected to head home next week.

The Thor: Ragnarok team will spread out across the Oxenford lot once the new $14.5 million Sound Stage 9 is complete.

Construction of the sound stage, to be used as the squash venue during the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, is being fast-tracked so it can be used for the blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok shoot.
