Broxton in fiction
Broxton and the surrounding regions have been an important setting of Marvel Comics' series Thor since the late 2000s. The Norse god Thor's home Asgard became a floating landmass outside of Broxton. Although the Asgardians were welcomed by the locals,[4] in the 2011 miniseries Fear Itself, Odin, resentful of being made the recipient of humans' altruism, and sensing the return of an ancient enemy, leads his people back to Asgard's former location.[5]
Broxton is featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe live-action series Loki (2023), appearing in the second season. This version is located in an alternate timeline branched off from the Sacred Timeline and becomes Sylvie's temporary home.[6]
