Thor is getting a bit of a makeover for the third installment of his comic's franchise-- he's going with an all-natural look.
Entertainment Weekly spoke to Chris Hemsworth, who says it was a bit refreshing to not have to sit in a make-up chair all day long.
On the cover of EW's magazine, Thor stands between Hela (Cate Blanchett) and Valkryie (Tessa Thompson).
Here it is:
The movie finds Thor battling not only the Goddess of Death, Hela (Cate Blanchett), but also his friend, the Hulk, (Mark Ruffalo) when the pair find themselves on a desolate planet called Sakaar.
From EW:
When Hela is accidentally unleashed from her prison, she is not psyched. “She’s been locked away for millennia getting more and more cross, and then, with a mistake, she gets unleashed and she ain’t getting back in that box,” says Blanchett, who worked with legendary stuntwoman Zoë Bell (Grindhouse) and learned the Brazilian martial art capoeira to prep for the role. Her attack on Thor sends him to Sakaar where he is forced to become a gladiator and realizes he’s no longer super special. “[Sakaar is] basically where every wormhole across the universe dumps out its trash, so you get people from all walks of life with all sorts of incredible abilities and powers,” Hemsworth explains. “No one cares what prince or king Thor may have been in another world. Also, his strength is pretty easily matched with those he finds himself amongst.” Case in point: Sakaar’s most successful (and popular) fighter is The Hulk.
Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Heimdall (Idris Elba) will also have roles in the upcoming film.
