Hemsworth’s post was shared just over a month after the premiere of Thor: Love And Thunder, in which he starred as the titular character.
The movie was centered on the Norse god as he recruited several of his friends to help him defeat Gorr the God Butcher.

Natalie Portman notably made a return to her old role as Jane Foster, who took on the identity of Mighty Thor.

Development on the feature began in 2019, when the director signed on to helm the feature.

Much of the cast was brought together in 2020, and physical production took place the following year.
Thor: Love and Thunder premiered at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood on June 23, and it received a wide release in the United States on July 8.

The film was also a hit with audiences and grossed a worldwide total of $705,744,337, according to Box Office Mojo.
Hemsworth spoke about working on the feature during an interview with Screen Rant, where he noted that he previously felt dismayed about what was being done with Thor.
He recalled: ‘I said, “Look, I’ll do it. But I feel a little stuck with what the character is doing. I feel a little bored.” And Taika said, “I’m bored of you too.”‘

The performer went on to express that he was fine with starring as Thor if new ideas were brought to the franchise.
‘As long as I keep getting to work with directors like this man, and cast that inspire me and bring something different out in myself and the character, then I’m down for whatever,’ he said.
Hemsworth also remarked that he particularly enjoyed working on the newest Thor feature.
‘It was basically dismantling and destroying everything we knew, and starting again. It’s completely refreshing, that experience and this one,’ he said.
