‘Thor: Love & Thunder’: ‘Incredibly hard’ to shoot Chris Hemsworth’s NUDE scene, DOP reveals

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, is a favourite among viewers (MCU). Globally, Thor is incredibly popular. The much-discussed trailer for Marvel’s next film “Thor: Love & Thunder” had stirring glimpses of Chris Hemsworth’s mind-blowing performance as Thor, but it also featured a little something extra that viewers were not at all prepared for. Fans were astonished and taken aback by Hemsworth’s butt-baring scene near the end of the trailer.

One of the most eagerly anticipated 2022 films is “Thor: Love & Thunder,” which is situated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is the fourth entry in the “Thor” movie series. Fans have been praising and cheering about how different the film appears compared to the previous ones as a result of the initial images and teaser, which have already caught their attention. All die-hard “Thor” fans are giddy with excitement after seeing the trailer.
According to the movie’s official synopsis, Thor sets out on a search for inner peace that is unlike anything he has ever experienced. Gorr the God Butcher, an assassin from another galaxy who wants to wipe out all gods, however, interrupts his retirement. Thor enlists the aid of King Valkyrie, Korg, and his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who, to his amazement, mysteriously wields his mystical hammer, to defeat the menace. To solve the mystery of the God Butcher’s revenge, they embark on a terrifying cosmic journey together.

Zeus can be seen in this sequence snapping his fingers to take off Thor’s armour and cape, which makes for a comical view of Hemsworth’s muscular body and bare, pixelated butt. Thor: Love & Thunder’s DOP (Director of Photography), Barry Baz Idoine, discussed how challenging it was to shoot the sequence in which Thor bares his butt in a recent interview with Screenrant. “Shooting Chris Hemsworth’s butt is really difficult. Everyone is looking at their butt instead of what they should be doing, nobody concentrates, and nobody completes their tasks. That was difficult.”

Famous director Taika Waititi discussed filming the specific sequence with Chris Hemsworth in “Thor: Love & Thunder” in an earlier interview with Comicbook.com. He stated: “From a very young age, we all knew we wanted to do it. Actually, Chris was on board and it was in the initial draught of the script. You know, I think Chris would understand if he were in your body, too. Not displaying it would be unfair and wasteful. A crime against humanity would be committed. Therefore, you must provide provisions for the whole populace.”

Chris Hemsworth revealed details about filming this specific scene in a recent interview with Variety, which was conducted on Thursday at the red carpet premiere of “Thor: Love & Thunder.” “In Rush many years ago, I had my butt kicked in, but in a Marvel movie, the screen was enormous and the cheeks were enormous. I’ve seen it before, so I’m not sure. Whatever.”

“That scene was a dream of mine and took ten years to create. I removed my shirt before performing as Thor for the first time because I knew it would make the role more enjoyable. It will all fall apart in ten years, he continued.

On seeing Thor’s butt in #ThorLoveAndThunder, Chris Hemsworth says: “That moment took ten years to create and was kind of a fantasy of mine. I removed my shirt before performing as Thor because I thought, “You know what’s going to sweeten this…””
