Chris Hemsworth got insanely ripped for ThorLoveAndThunder, but he now does not want to get quite as big for his next MCU appearance: 'I don’t know, maybe I’m getting old, but things just started to hurt more.'
Chris Hemsworth does not want to get as ripped as he did for Thor: Love and Thunder whenever he plays Thor next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ever since taking on the role of the god of thunder, Hemsworth has routinely transformed his body to bring the Asgardian to life. Thor: Love and Thunder included him going to new heights when it came to bulking up.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Hemsworth became bigger than ever before to play Thor in Love and Thunder. This was evident throughout the filming process, as behind-the-scenes photos proved just how ripped he was. Thor: Love and Thunder did not shy away from showing his god-like physique, going so far as to show Hemsworth in the nude from behind. The entire process emphasized the star's commitment to the role and the physicality required for the 39-year-old actor.
Each time I’ve played the character and put the muscle on and put the size on, and then lost it for something else and played another character, there’s muscle memory, and I used to say it sort of got easier each time. This was particularly hard. I think because the target weight we aimed for was quite a ways above where I’d been before.
Hemsworth not wanting to get quite as ripped as he did for Thor: Love and Thunder does not mean that Thor will be normal size in his next MCU appearance. The actor is specifically talking about not wanting to take on the challenge of trying to somehow top his physical fitness or even get that big again. It instead points to Hemsworth wanting to scale down Thor's muscles a bit, possibly closer to how he looked in Phase 2 or Phase 3.
It is certainly understandable why Hemsworth does not want to get quite as big whenever Thor's MCU return happens. He went from playing the larger-than-life hero to working on several other projects that do not require him to be anywhere close to that physical form. The training and expectations for superhero movie actors are no joke; for example, Hugh Jackman repeatedly talked about the difficulty in maintaining his Wolverine form as he got older.
