Chris Hemsworth is one proud papa!

In an adorable set of pictures shared on Instagram Monday, the Thor: Love and Thunder star, 38, lovingly referred to his eldest child, daughter India Rose, as his "favorite superhero."

The actor posted two photos: the first, a throwback picture of India visiting him on the set of his Marvel film as a baby while he's in full costume – complete with his character's hammer, which is almost as big as India at the time.

The second photo shows a more recent snap of the father-daughter duo on the set of Thor: Love and Thunder – the latest iteration of the Thor franchise – in which the actor can be seen cradling his daughter in his arms during what appears to be a moment of downtime in between filming.

Two of his children make cameos in the latest film, joining costars Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, and director Taika Waititi's children. Chris's daughter "plays the character of Love" while ones of his sons portrays a young Thor.

"It's really cool. They really wanted to be in it," said Hemsworth last month.

Hemsworth previously opened up about raising his three children in 2017, telling PEOPLE he didn't want his kids "to feel like they're privileged" because of their dad's wealth.

"I want them to have a great appreciation for everything," the actor said at the time.

"I grew up with very little money, but my parents were my absolute heroes," he added of his own upbringing. "They were respectful, kind human beings and operated in a way that was constantly inspiring and nurturing and kind."

"Financially, we're in a different position, but I want to make sure they know these things don't come easy. You have to work for it, and you can't take it for granted. Success is more about the values we have and the type of people we are rather than the material objects that we might obtain," said Hemsworth.
