Thor: Ragnarok was an electrifying entry into the saga of the God of Thunder—a film so fresh and fun that it’s hard to believe it was released in theaters five years ago today! To celebrate the film that took us to Sakar and back, we’ve rounded up our favorite behind-the-scenes photos from this fan-favorite film. Rock on and celebrate Thor: Ragnarok with us:

Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi stands between actors Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth on set. Both actors have their back turned to the camera, facing Waititi as he directs them.

Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi and actor Chris Hemsworth sit in Thor: Ragnarok-labelled directors chairs, watching footage from the day on a small monitor. Their backs are to the camera, and Waititi is pointing across Hemsworth at something off screen.

Chris Hemsworth stands in the center of the Thor: Ragnarok Asgard set, while Tessa Thompson stands above him in an elevated room that will be transformed into a spaceship via visual effects. Film crew stand off to the left of the image, preparing for the next shot.

Actress Tessa Thompson sits in a set backed by a blue screen, representing the cockpit of her character’s ship. A camera faces her, as various crew members prepare her and the set for the next shot. Director Taika Waititi sits next to her, legs crossed, as he watches her through a handheld camera.

Chris Hemsworth stands inside the Avengers’ Quinjet, his back to the camera. Facing Hemsworth, Taika Waititi directs the actor with outspread arms.
