Chris Hemsworth he wasn’t the only Hemsworth in Thor: Love and Thunder. The film, released in theaters on 6 July 2022 and directed by Taika Waititiis told by Chris Hemsworth as a family experience. And that could only be the case for the Thor actor, given that his wife was present on the set Elsa Pataky and the children India Rose Hemsworth, Sasha and Tristanin addition to the older brother Luke.
But he is not alone, because other stars also worked on the set of the film with members of their family, like Christian Bale, Natalie Portuman it’s the same Taika Waititi.
Thor Love and Thunder: A Family Affair
Regarding the numerous cameos, the director says that “It wasn’t always in the plan” to have so many family members of the actors in the cast and crew in the film, but the idea comes from a few words of Chris Hemsworthfrom what Waititi says:
“The idea was born while Chris was talking about his daughter India. And he said to me, ‘Oh, you know, it would be very cool for me to shoot a scene with my daughter.’ So, I started looking around like, ‘Oh, everyone has kids. All these actors have children. ‘”
The director himself is grateful that he spent more time with his children (also present on the set) while shooting the film:
“Is fantastic. I love the idea that my kids can look back on this moment and say, “oh wow, we were there. We have a memory of it ”. “
Let’s see what all the cameos of the film are.
Chris Hemsworth with his daughter India Rose Hemsworth: Love
The most important role is that played by the little girl India Rosein the film daughter of Gorr The Godbutcher (Christian Bale) and, eventually, superheroine by the name of Love. We have the statements of Chris Hemsworth and Christian Bale released on marvel.com in which the two actors explain what it was like to work with little India.
Bale he would have spoken of her in these terms, alongside Chris Hemsworth:
“One of the memorable moments for me was working with India, Chris’s baby. It was so magnificent. But it was also so nice to see your relationship. She wondered, “Who is this weird bald guy that’s all covered in scars and crying for [me]? ” I saw how good a father you are, because you kindly persuaded her to do it, like, ‘No, stay there. I know it’s a bit disgusting, but he stays there. “
It seems, in fact, that the little girl had difficulty in approaching Bale’s costume. Hemsworth, in fact, remembers a moment during the filming of the film:
“There was a moment when he had to kiss Bale on the top of his head, and she would say,” It’s all sticky “, (…) I would say,” India, you’re not really kissing his head! ” But she still kept saying, ‘It’s sticky!’ “
Chris Hemswort: His wife and other children were there too
Little more than an extra is that of Elsa Patakya wolfwoman, who appears on screen in a flashback of Thor, in which we learn that she had an affair with the thunder god.
Tristan Hemsworthon the other hand, he played a very young man Thorwhile the brother Sasha he was playing the part of one of Gorr’s kidnapped Asgard kids.
Luke Hemsworth: Chris’s brother
Chris’s brother plays Thor during a staging organized in Asgard, to show the events that saw the god of thunder as protagonist: it is a representation within the representation, a poor theatrical performance for tourists, which reflects on the role of heroes and gods in the renewed community of Asgard, now exiled to earth, from the destruction of the kingdom of the gods.
A comic cinematic device, with the dual purpose of reminding the real audience (the one beyond the audience of tourists who watch) the events of the previous films.
Alongside Luke Hemsworth, too Matt Damon stars as a ramshackle actor who plays the part of Loki, while Melissa McCarthy is the actress who plays Hela.
The head of production is played by McCarthy’s husband, Ben Falcone.
