- What's wrong with him? ROCKET: Oh, he's pissed.
He thinks he failed.
ANTHONY RUSSO: Thor has suffered tremendous loss,
more so than any other character.
Asgard has been destroyed,
and now he has to suffer the loss to Thanos.
How does a person who's suffered two devastating losses like that
move forward, and how would he process that?
[LAUGHING] Boys!
CHRIS HEMSWORTH: Every aspect of him was broken.
Some tragic things have happened and he's decided,
"You know what? I'm just gonna check out
"and eat pizza and drink beer."
And that's what he's done, you know.
You all right?
Yes. I'm fine. Why?
Why, don't I look all right?
You look like melted ice cream.
[LAUGHS]
So, what's up? You just here for a hang?
He's a very depressed sort of removed Thor,
becoming the opposite of what we've known him to be in the past.
I know you think I'm down here
wallowing in my own self-pity...
feeling sorry for myself, hoping to be rescued,
hoping to be saved, but you're wrong, okay?
But the great thing about Thor is, like,
there's something in his spirit that stands in contrast
to where he's let himself go physically and emotionally.
There's beer on the ship.
[BOTTLE CLATTERS]
What kind?
HEMSWORTH: Being able to do this new version of Thor,
it's hugely liberating and fun.
We had a big sort of fat suit,
which I think was sort of 60 or 70 pounds.
This'll move.
MAN: Yep, that's the shimmy.
It was the hottest I've ever been. [LAUGHS]
How does that feel?
I mean, amazing.
It looks like it's in the right place. [LAUGHTER]
HEMSWORTH: And we have, obviously, the beard, the hair,
and I have these things that go in the mouth
to kind of plump out my cheeks a bit,
which sort of had a little effect on the voice as well,
but probably in a good way.
It was a different Thor.
Hi, my name's Thor. I'm 22 years old,
live on Asgard and I like sugar.
PAUL RUDD: We're shooting a superhero film
and here's one of the most recognizable superheroes,
but he's just turned into a new character.
What Chris does with that character
and how it just kind of has this shift,
his excitement was really palpable.
[LAUGHING]
TESSA THOMPSON: He'd been playing the character for a while
and really wanted to find something new.
He has such dexterity as a talent.
He's incredibly funny.
He has just really lovely energy.
NATASHA: Is he asleep?
RHODES: No, no. I'm pretty sure he's dead.
[LAUGHTER]
KEVIN FEIGE: Thor's new look will seem like it's being played for laughs.
But thanks to the performance that Chris Hemsworth gives,
it becomes very touching.
Let me, just let me, let me do this.
Let me do something right.
And we see over the course of the film,
how he tries to regain his sense of purpose
and regain his sense of redemption.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] It's not working.
[GRUNTS]
LOUIS D'ESPOSITO: At the end of the day,
even though he's carrying a lot more weight,
he's still the Thor that we love.
[PANTING] I'm still worthy.
D'ESPOSITO: The Avengers pull him back in.
To have a sense of duty,
he finally comes around
and he's a full-on Avenger, with carrying another 80 pounds, though.
[LAUGHING] Look at the first couple steps.
HEMSWORTH: I thought I was booking.
I thought I was going so quick. [ALL LAUGHING]
ANTHONY: Maybe you want to give a battle cry.
Oh, yeah. Good one there.
[YELLING]
It felt like I was playing a completely different character.
There was a real opportunity to just kind of swing for the fences
and it was so much fun.
What do you think is coursing through my veins?
Cocoa Puffs? Nachos? Embarrassment?
Lightning.
[SNICKERING] [LAUGHTER]
