Chris Hemsworth poses with Taika Waititi as he jokes they ‘squeezed the budget’ for Thor: Love and Thunder

Chris Hemsworth has shared a backstage snap from the set of Thor: Love and Thunder with director Taika Waititi. 

The actor, 37, who plays the titular role, shared the snap of him wearing a promotional baseball cap as Taika, 45, stood behind him with sunglasses on. 

He joked: ‘They really squeezed the budget for the official Thor Love & Thunder poster but the message is clear, plenty of love and plenty of thunder. Album drops soon…again…’

It’s not the first brilliant snap Chris has shared from behind the scenes, as he also shared a shot of him with Taika and Matt Damon, who will also appear in Thor: Love and Thunder three weeks earlier. 

Cracking the same joke about their sultry poses, Chris captioned it: ‘Album drops next week #getreadyworld’.

The fourth instalment of the Thor franchise is well under way, having been shooting in Sydney, Australia in recent months. 

Chris also reflected on 10 years of playing Thor, sharing a photo of him with Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, from a rehearsal ahead of the film in 2011, along with an article title calling them ‘no-names’. 

He wrote: ‘This year marks the 10th anniversary of THOR when two unknown lads were given the keys to the kingdom. It’s been a hell of a ride and we clearly haven’t aged a day.’

The pair have both done very well for themselves in the past decade, going from ‘no-names’ to two of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors with multiple successful blockbuster films under their belts. 

Thor: Love and Thunder also promises many other huge stars, including Russell Crowe who has revealed he will be playing Zeus in the upcoming movie. 

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled for release on May 6, 2022.
