Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming tale from the set of Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok! Tessa Thompson, the talented actress behind the character of Valkyrie, recently shared some behind-the-scenes stories that will make you laugh and appreciate the magic of movie-making.
But here's where it gets controversial... Tessa revealed that her co-star, the mighty Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, is a 'baby with muscles' and a 'very big infant'! She described him as having 'no inhibition' and being willing to do 'anything' to make people laugh. It's a refreshing take on the usually stoic and serious Thor character we see on screen.
During her appearance at the BFI London Film Festival, Thompson won over the audience with her charming and honest insights. She spoke about the unique dynamic on set, saying, 'It's so goofy making those movies sometimes. You have to tap into your inner child and let your imagination run wild.'
And this is the part most people miss... Tessa's decision to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was driven by a desire to challenge herself. She wanted to know if she could handle the fun and imaginative world of Thor's adventures. 'I really wanted to make a movie like that,' she explained, 'because it freed me up and allowed me to explore my creative side.'
Tessa's upcoming film, Hedda, an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic, showcases her willingness to take on demanding roles. 'I thrive on being terrified,' she said, 'it's an exciting challenge.'
Hedda is set to release in theaters on October 22, 2025, and will be available on Prime Video starting October 29.
So, what do you think? Is Chris Hemsworth's playful side a welcome surprise, or does it take away from his character's seriousness? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's discuss the lighter side of these superhero films!
