Taika Waititi promises that Chris Hemsworth's butt won't be blurred out in Thor: Love And Thunder
“With Chris, he’s worked so hard on that," Watiti says. "It’s so many squats! It’d be depriving humanity if I didn’t show that.”
When the trailer for Thor: Love And Thunder dropped last month, one moment immediately got fans talking. Sure, we saw a newly buff Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) with her own powers and a reformed Mjolnir, Christian Bale as Gorr The God Butcher, and the Guardians Of The Galaxy. But none of that could compare to Zeus, played by Russell Crowe, accidentally magically disrobing Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and causing a mass fainting event in the Greek god’s court.
In a new interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the film’s writer and director Taika Waititi has confirmed that the God of Thunder’s butt will be on full display in the film, out July 8.
“In the movie, it’s not pixelated, though,” Waititi tells Colbert. “You get the full Hems’ Worth. The full worthiness!”
Ogling heroes’–and villains’–powerful physiques has long been a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Thor is certainly no exception. While the Asgardian heir has had a shirtless scene in his three previous solo movies, rear nudity is a rarity in the franchise.
