Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is game for working in the
Hindi film industry if he is offered a "great script".
Asked if he is
open to work in a Bollywood film, Hemsworth told IANS in a round table
conference here: "Sure. I'd go where the fun is and then scripts are... if there
was a great script, I'd be up for anything."
Hemsworth was here along
with actor Mark Ruffalo and director Taika Waititi for the Sydney premiere of
his upcoming film "Thor: Ragnarok", which is the third instalment in the "Thor"
franchise.
Another new factor is that Hemsworth, who is popular for
sporting long hair in the film for his iconic character Thor, will be seen in a
short hairdo. He will be also fighting a war without his weapon -- the hammer,
also known as Mjolnir.
"Cutting the hair, losing the hammer to changing
the costumes and then having someone like Taika who sort of brought such a
unique vision and tone to it and humour," Hemsworth said.
Adding a dash
of humour to the film was a "big thing".
"The big thing to it was to have
more humour and having fun and wacky quality to it," he said.
This will
be the first time that the characters Thor and the Hulk will be seen together
outside of a Marvel Studios' "Avengers" franchise.
Talking about working
with Ruffalo in the film, Hemsworth said: "It happened and it was great
because... he's just so much fun and specially improvising with him, he has put
child-like innocence and uncertainty in the character that didn't exist before
and which I feel is very refreshing to have which makes him more accessible."
"Thor: Ragnarok", which releases in India on November 3, is the 17th film in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all which culminates in "Avengers: Infinity War".
The new addition to the superhero film family is the Oscar-winning
actress Cate Blanchett, which makes her the first female villain in the Marvel
universe.
Hemsworth describes her as "awesome", and says that he was
intimidated by her.
"I was pretty damn intimidated by her. I kind of
worshipped her and I still do. I thought I don't deserve to stand in front of
the camera with her... how am I going to pull this off. I met her and she's the
most open, warm 'egoless' wonderful person.
But was it intimidating to
work with Blanchett, Ruffalo and Anthony Hopkins?
"Yes, I was. Always.
And you know they are more sort of iconic, famous and successful... But all of
sudden when you work with some young kid who is amazing, and makes you think
he's way better than them...."
The actor, who has worked in films like
"Ghostbusters", "Snow White And The Huntsman" and "Rush", says one needs to be
open to learning.
"I think it's part of having a great sense of
humility... open to learn from people and little bit fear is good. It keeps you
to work harder," Hemsworth, 34, added.
