‘Thor: Love And Thunder’ Filming Wraps As Chris Hemsworth And Taika Waititi Flex Their “Crazy Off The Wall” Superhero Movie
Writer/directorTaika Waitititook a break fromkissingRita Ora and Tessa Thompson to flex his comedy muscles alongsideChris Hemsworthto celebrate the end of filming onThor: Love and Thunder. But Hemsworth is flexing far more literal muscles in the image, in which theThorstar teased a newly swole Thor and a “batshit crazy off the wall funny” movie. Mark us down as scared. And also horny.
Both Waititi and Hemsworth posted the same image on theirInstagramaccountsto celebrate wrapping production onThor: Love and Thunder. In the image, Waititi poses in the motion-capture suit he wears to play Korg, the beloved rock alien character he introduced in the previous Thor installment,Ragnarok, and reprised inAvengers: Endgame. Meanwhile, Hemsworth, dubbing the day “national don’t flex day,” did the opposite by flexing his ridiculously large arm muscles.
Waititi wrote in his caption:
“Sometimes two people come together to inspire the world and change the cinematic landscape forever. And then there’s me and [Chris Hemsworth] who are too cool to care about anything except making movies that bring people absolute joy. Ok I don’t look cool I know that. This film is the craziest thing I’ve ever done and I’m honoured to bust my ass and have a nervous breakdown so you can all see it in May 2022.”
In his caption, Hemsworth teased the film is “gonna be batshit crazy off the wall funny and might also pull a heart string or two. Lots of love, lots of thunder!”
See the image below, in which both Waititi and Hemsworth look (appropriately) satisfied with themselves.
