“Yeah you get a taste from it here that it has a different tone the I guess what Love and thunder was.”
He appreciated how the Marvel Cinematic Universe allows his character’s tone to evolve across films, describing it as a valuable aspect of his artistic journey.

Hemsworth added.
Keeping Details Under Wraps

“There’s a lot of pressure and I can’t say much at all,”
he laughed, also mentioning how mindful he is of spoilers during interviews:
“Every word I’m saying I’m like that’s too many.”
He even joked about being concerned that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige might call to remind him to stop talking.
