Chris Hemsworth has revealed he had one condition when it came to starring in Thor: Love and Thunder in a new interview with Vanity Fair.

Before agreeing to reprise his role as Thor for the eighth time following three Thor and four Avengers films, the Australian actor said he was considering turning down the role. If it hadn't been for Thor: Ragnarok director (and Korg actor) Taika Waititi's decision to return to the franchise, Hemsworth said,  “I don't know that I would've done another if Taika hadn't said yes, he was going to do it. He had written this beautiful script which was a wacky, crazy, romantic comedy set in space and that I hadn't seen before.”

Hemsworth can currently be seen in the Netflix film Spiderhead, which is directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski.

With the new trailer drop of Thor: Love and Thunder, fans of the Marvel movie series took to Twitter to share their thoughts of the highly anticipated flick, out in theaters this summer.

The trailer starts off with our beloved Korg (played by director Taika Waititi) sitting fireside in a cave with some children, saying, "Kids, get the popcorn out. Let me tell you the story of the Space Viking, Thor Odinson. He was no ordinary man. He was a god. After saving planet Earth for the 500th time, Thor set off on a new journey. He got in shape. He went from dad bod to god bod. And after all that, he reclaimed his title as the one and only Thor."

That's when we see someone else beckon Mjolnir (his hammer) -- none other than Jane Foster (played by a buff Natalie Portman), much to Thor (Chris Hemsworth)'s surprise.
