We’ve known for some time that Thor would get a haircut at some point during the events of Thor: Ragnarok (leaked photos confirmed this weeks ago), but now it seems that Hemsworth has spent a substantial portion of the film’s production with this new, arguably more fashionable hair-do.
There’s another aspect of this photo that’s very much worth noting, and it has nothing to do with soccer or Chris Hemsworth’s muscles.
Although his head is tilted upward in this photo, it’s very clear that he has considerably shorter hair than most incarnations of Thor.
How it factors into the film’s plot remains to be seen.
