- Nine Realms - MythopediaThe Nine Realms make regular appearances in popular culture, though they are generally discussed individually. The Nine Realms are mentioned in passing in the film Thor (2011), and appear as part of a constellation (which naturally takes the shape of the world tree Yggdrasil). The Realms are also discussed in the film’s sequels.

In Thor (2011), Yggdrasil was reimagined as a tree-shaped constellation whose stars represented the Nine Realms of Norse mythology.
