The third Thor film is heading into theaters next month, but it’s easy to skip over the fact that Chris Hemsworth has been in films beyond the Thor movies when thinking about the character.
In fact, by the time Thor: Ragnarok was coming together, Hemsworth had already filmed quite a few movies for Marvel, including Avengers flicks and even a cameo for Doctor Strange.
He recently told Jimmy Kimmel that it was his idea to film Thor: Ragnarok in Australia, and he used a little tactic he’d learned from Robert Downey, Jr. to accomplish his goal.
Thus, when Thor: Ragnarok was in development, the actor realized he had probably built up some leverage and smartly negotiated to get things done a little more on his terms.
