The long-awaited first trailer forThor: Love and Thunderis full of exciting, surprising moments – not least the final few seconds which see the God of Thunder’s clothes disappear revealing a peculiarly pixilated butt shot. To everyone’s shock, including both Zeus’ wives and us, the audience, Thor is left standing there completely starkers. But, perhaps even more shocking,Chris Hemsworthhas now revealed toVarietythat a naked Thor has always been a dream of his.
“It was 10 years in the making that scene — kind of a dream of mine. The first time I played Thor I took my shirt off and I thought, “You know what’s gonna sweeten this … a decade from now it’s all gonna come off.”
No doubt that Hemsworth is far from the only one to have dreamt of a naked Thor, and while the scene seems a little bit too “Carry On” and a lot lessMCU, it is sure to have brought much delight to plenty of audience members and Hemsworth fans. Time will tell whether the pixels will remain in the finished film…
Of course, Hemsworth is known for his sense of humor, so describing the scene as one he has “dreamt” of is likely to be a slight exaggeration. Still,with Hemsworth having put in the work, effort, and whatever elseis involved to look as much like a comic book superhero as possible, you’re able to hardly blame him for wanting to show it off.
Chris Hemsworth Says He Will Play Thor Until Someone Makes Him Stop
Chris Hemsworth is now the first Marvel hero to get four solo outings, with many wondering whetherThor: Love and Thunderwill be his last time playing the role. Well,according to Hemsworth himself,he loves playing Thor so much that he plans to do it until someone makes him stop.
“I love it, I love it. I’ll come back for more and more until someone kicks me off the stage, you know. I love it,” the actor said recently. “My whole career has been based around me playing this character and to come back again and again and play it with different directors and different casts has been an absolute joy. And, yeah, we’ll see what the fans want, and I don’t know, I’m down for whatever is enjoyable and having a good time. That’s what this experience in the Marvel world has been for me, so bring it on.”
