Chris Hemsworth: Thor Love And Thunder Jul 02, 2022

Chris Hemsworth is always a good laugh, but things can get a little tricky when you haven't seen the film, the trailer, the poster... Pretty much anything to do with the film you're meant to be talking about. So please enjoy this "interviewing on hard mode" chat between Ali and Chris, ostensibly about Thor Love And Thunder, but... Well, you'll see.

Both Scott and Ethan are brilliant talkers - as Ali sometimes likes to say - so here are a couple of interviews that dig a little bit deeper than your average 'What mementos have you taken from from set?' fare, promise.
