More elaborate sets for Thor: Love and Thunder are popping up around Sydney.

On Sunday, the hard-working crew for the Hollywood blockbuster were spotted creating an impressive set along the city's picturesque coastline.

Aerial photographs show trucks, machinery and shipping containers taking up a large chunk of land next to a golf course in Little Bay.

The structures appear to be two separate sets, with one resembling a theatre with a wooden stage.

Likely for privacy and security reasons, there was a large fence surrounding the area.

In the cordoned-off area were large machinery vehicles, including a mobile crane telehandler to support a camera operator, as well as earth movers and scissor lifts.

Lead actor Chris Hemsworth, who lives in Byron Bay, has been flying in and out of Sydney via private jet since production commenced in January.

His friend and co-star Matt Damon has joined him on several of these journeys, which suggests their characters are filming scenes together.

Hemsworth has portrayed Thor in the franchise for 10 years, while Damon has only made an uncredited cameo in the 2017 release of Thor: Ragnarok.

In Ragnarok, Damon portrayed an Asgardian actor playing the role of Loki in a stage play that the real Loki (Tom Hiddleston) was putting on.

Kristen Stewart, Colin Farrell posing for the camera: Feeling a little claustrophobic? You're not the only one. Being confined to a single location for too long isn't good for anyone. However, as we're still dealing with a global pandemic, many of us don't have a choice. Though our current situation is unique in many ways, confinement, isolation, and fear of what's outside are anything but. It's a story that's been told in film many times, often based on true events.

The Bourne Identity actor could have a similar cameo in Thor: Love and Thunder, but there are rumours he possibly has a more important role this time.

A theory doing the rounds is that Thor may need someone to impersonate his deceased brother Loki, and calls upon Damon's character to do so.

Damon arrived in Australia in January and privately funded his two-week quarantine with his family at a $7,000-a-night mansion in Byron Bay.

The latest installment of Thor is being filmed in Australia after receiving a $24.1million location incentive grant from the Federal Government.

Directed by Taika Waititi, the film is expected to bring more than $178million to the local economy, create 2,500 jobs and enlist services from about 1,650 businesses.

According to Screen NSW, it's part of a deal which will see several Marvel films made in Australia over the coming years.

The film is being shot at Sydney's Fox Studios, but elaborate structures have been seen at nearby Centennial Park.

An impressive set was built in Centennial Park in late January, and in the first week of February actors were spotted filming scenes there in full costume.

Almost 24 hours after 'cut' was called on those scenes, the location was dismantled.

In the forthcoming Thor installment, Natalie Portman is back as Jane Foster, and will also pick up the hammer and become the Goddess of Thunder (i.e. the female Thor).

Natalie was absent for 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, but was a key player in the first two Thor films in 2011 and 2013.

Thor: Love and Thunder is due for cinematic release in May 2022.
