CelebnMovies247.com reports that Chris Hemsworth doesn’t plan to get as ripped for his next appearance as Thor.
The 39-year-old actor has starred as the God of Thunder since 2011 won’t bulk up as much when he appears in his next Marvel movie.
Chris Hemsworth, who recently starred in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ explained:
Each time I’ve played the character and put the muscle on and put the size on, and then lost it for something else and played another character … there’s muscle memory, and I used to say it sort of got easier each time. This was particularly hard.
I think because the target weight we aimed for was quite a ways above where I’d been before.
We had 12 months when I was at home, just training and sort of, you know, puppeteering the body and manipulating and trying to like, ’Okay, we could try more swimming now or try more martial arts’. It was a really fun exploration, but I don’t know that I wanna get that big again.
The Hollywood star found his workout regime to be “exhausting”, and he’s now keen to scale back his training.

It was just exhausting. I don’t know, maybe I’m getting old, but things just started to hurt more.

Meanwhile, director Taika Waititi Has been Talking About ‘Thor 5: Still Alive’
While nothing Thor-related came up during the recent Phase Five announcement, director Taika Waititi recently discussed a future Thor film in an interview with with BBC Radio 1.
Waititi said:
Thor 5: Still Alive [or] Thor 5: Learning to Drive… It’s like ‘Back to School’ with Rodney Dangerfield, but [with] Thor learning to drive. I think if there’s going to be a fifth film, you just gotta like, take all the zeroes off the budget and make it like a $6 million movie with just Thor on Earth learning to drive, him and Darryl, and I think… I literally think you’d make at least half a billion dollars.
We doubt that will be to plot. But it needs to go back to the roots of Thor but with the greatness of Ragnarok.
