Chris Hemsworth made his MCU debut in the 2011 film Thor and has been portraying the character for more than a decade. He surely has worked hard to bring the God of Thunder on screen in every way possible. And one of the things that were mostly required to portray the Norse God was having a godly physique. Not only has Hemsworth impressed everyone by maintaining his muscular physique, but he also got more ripped each time he reprised his role.

Chris Hemsworth has definitely worked harder every time he reprised his role as Thor. After donning a fat suit in Endgame, Thor was supposed to get back in shape.

Talking about his workout routine, Hemsworth said that he has “put the muscle on and out the size on” every time he has played the Marvel character. However, jacking up for Love and Thunder was harder than before.

“This was particularly hard. I think because the target weight we aimed for was quite a ways above where I’d been before,” he shared on Assembled. The Extraction star shared that he spent 12 months “training” and “puppeteering the body” and also included swimming and martial arts in his workout routine.
