Telling the story of how it was that he came to 12 Strong, he explained that the project was meant to give him a chance to breathe a bit before his crazy 2017, but that didn’t exactly work out as planned.
The production ultimately lasted about two-and-a-half months (from the end of December 2016 to mid-February 2017), and the crazy amount of action involved had him thinking that he possibly bit off a bit more than he could chew.
I had the pleasure of sitting down one-on-one with Chris Hemsworth earlier this month during the Los Angeles press day for the new film, and it was at the very start of our conversation that I brought up the incredibly busy schedule that he has been on going back to mid-2016.
