In the recently released Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth revealed how he approached the film as if it was the “last time” he would play the character:
“I have loved every single time I’ve played the character. This is ten years for most of us now, and maybe the last time I play the character. I certainly was aware of that while shooting.”
At another point in the documentary, Hemsworth can be seen telling the crew how fitting it is to “finish here in Australia” and how grateful he was to “be able to do this at all”:
“This has been an incredible shoot. If this was the last one, this is incredibly fitting to finish here in Australia. It really is so, so special to be able to do this at all.”
The actor’s son was also shown asking whether Thor 4 would be the last movie in the Thor franchise, to which Hemsworth joked about having to “talk to Marvel about that”:
Hemsworth’s son: “Please say it’s not the last movie.”
Hemsworth: “(laughs) We’ll talk to Marvel about that, son
