Chris Hemsworth says the bulking up is taking its toll, and he doesn't want to get quite as ripped next time he plays Thor.
If you are going to look like a literal god then it takes more than CGI and some cool costumes. The problem is if you are Chris Hemsworth then playing a Marvel god is not your only gig which means working like mad to gain the bulk and muscle and then working like mad to lose it. The Thor franchise lead says he’s not willing to go to the same extreme lengths to play the son of Odin anymore.
As noted by MovieWeb, along with Thor Love and Thunders recent arrival on Disney+ came a new episode of Assembled sharing behind the scenes secrets and interviews and in one such discussion Chris Hemsworth shares that the physical strain of gaining and losing his god muscle is getting to be too much. Each time I have played the character and put the muscle on and put the size on and then lost it for something else and played another character theres muscle memory and I used to say it sort of got easier each time Hemsworth says in the new Assembled episode. This was particularly hard.
Chris Hemsworth speculated that part of the reason his physical prep for the newest Thor movie was so much more punishing is that in for Love and Thunder the the target weight was the highest number he’d reached for yet. Yeah it was just exhausting Hemsworth recalled. I do not know maybe I am getting old but things just started to hurt more.
Of course it is not as if fans should expect Chris Hemsworth to look like Jack Skellington any time soon. All of his upcoming roles that we know about are either action oriented or would require him to still be fairly muscular and fit. Along with Hemsworth being expected to return for one or both of the upcoming Avengers sequels by the end of the year he will be streaming on Netflix in Extraction 2. Then theres the Mad Max prequel Furiosa and the as of yet untitled Hulk Hogan biopic.
Zocchi said the week before the scene is shot Chris Hemsworth begins increasing his water intake every day by at least a liter until he has drinking seven liters or around 29 and a half cups of water daily. Around lunch before the scene is shot Hemsworth cuts off all water completely. Zocchi bluntly said This is by no means a healthy thing to do and I would not recommend that anyone else do this.
