How did Chris Hemsworth’s daughter get her Thor: Love and Thunder role?
In an interview with Marvel, Chris and director Taika Waititi explains how they got most of the cast’s children involved in Thor: Love and Thunder. “We wanted to have kids in this film from very early on,” Taika Waititi recalls. The crew of the movie was “trying to figure out what does the villain want and why do we care about villains anymore? What’s a new way of doing a villain? The idea that he takes the kids came about when thinking like, what’s a thing that we really want audiences to worry? Because no one cares anymore about someone who’s going to blow up the universe, you know?”

“We want these kids to be in peril and Thor has to save the kids. I think it felt like just a classic ’80s movie,” he expanded, but then realized that all of the main actors had kids available to play those roles. Christian Bale, Taika Waititi and Natalie Portman’s children all had small roles in the film as well. “The idea started really when Chris was talking about [his daughter] India. And he was like, ‘Oh, you know, it would kind of be quite cool for me to be in a scene with my daughter.’ I started looking around like, oh, everyone has kids. All of these actors have kids.”
In a scene between the God of Thunder and Love, Love bickers with Thor about his choice of shoes. “It was just like when I’m at home, trying to tell her to do anything, she’s like, ‘Pfft, no, I’ll do it my way.’ And power to her, good on her, because she did an incredible job,” Hemsworth gushed about his daughter’s role. “I love the ownership the kids have in moments like that,” Hemsworth explained. “It’s a good reminder, all of it, for all of us just to stay true to who you are and not get caught up in the self-importance of it all. [Kids] really bring you back to Earth and ground the whole experience.”
Christian Bale also praised Hemsworth’s ability to parent on set. “Chris was a wonderfully attentive dad, just off-camera all the time, just checking she was all right, giving me thumbs up, me giving him thumbs up, checking,” the Batman actor told Marvel.com. “It was really endearing seeing the two of them. He sort of let her be, and she did it herself.”
However, Hemsworth doesn’t want his kids to be actors in the long term. “I don’t want them to now go and be child stars and actors,” Hemsworth spoke to Good Day DC. “It was just a special experience we all had and they loved it. They had a great time.”
Thor: Love and Thunder will be available to stream on Disney Plus around August 22, 2022. Here’s how to watch it for free.
