Chris Hemsworth faced huge pressure in making Thor: Love and Thunder

Actor Chris Hemsworth felt the need to up his game in the newly released film “Thor: Love and Thunder”, especially with the bar raised in “Thor: Ragnarok”. Hemsworth, who plays the lead character, Thor, God of Thunder, also wears the hat of executive producer. The film opened in cinemas on Friday and has already had a cracker of an opening weekend.

“There was a huge amount of pressure coming into this. There was a big expectation of what we’ll do next, so I wanted to do something different. I want to always do better with this character and to have had the opportunity to do another film was just awesome,” said Hemsworth.

Going into filming he was adamant about hanging on to a new version of Thor, which he had the opportunity to explore with director Taika Waititi, adding that Waititi’s imagination was second to none
Taika and I had the opportunity to expand on that. With ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ there’s been heartbreak, but now, Taika took it in a sort of romantic comedy direction, which I think is very unique to the superhero genre.“

“Taika is fascinated by new ideas and will throw himself into something that makes him laugh. It’s about doing something new and not being stuck in one lane. We’ve become great friends and that’s certainly a huge advantage when working together because you can just call each other out and cut straight to the point,” said Hemsworth.

One of the distinct changes in Thor’s appearance. The costumes are crazy. I have more costume changes in this than I think I’ve had in the last six films combined. Thor’s sort of searching for his identity and that’s represented in his wardrobe.

“The costumes and the sets aesthetically match the energy of the film – they’re another colour to the painting,” said Hemsworth. While most fans are big on the storyline, there are others who just simply adore and admire Hemsworth for his good looks and ripped body.
