Chris Hemsworth reckons they should have been more "careful" not to take Thor: Love and Thunder's goofy tone too far.
During an appearance on the Smartless podcast, the Marvel actor candidly claimed that they "took the piss probably a little too much" with the movie, explaining that they were egged on to push the irreverent humor even further following the reception to its predecessor, Thor: Ragnarok.
"There's variations. But you do have to be careful because when we made Ragnarok, it was quite a twist, you know, and in Taika's tone. And it was so fun and there was a huge kind of like appreciation for the shift," Hemsworth told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes. "Then Love and Thunder was kind of like a Monty Python sketch and we sort of took the piss probably a little much and then there was some of that backlash, you know? There was the sort of real kind of, 'why is he a goofball and why is it this?'"
He went on to say that writer-director Taika Waititi and the cast were just "having fun" and "trying something different."
Also starring the likes of Chris Pratt (as Peter Quill/Star-Lord), Tessa Thompson (as King Valkyrie), Russell Crowe (as Zeus), and Christian Bale (as Gorr the God Butcher), Thor: Love and Thunder saw the eponymous hero try to figure out what his life's purpose is – all while navigating the surprise return of his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who has started wielding Mjolnir and going by 'Mighty Thor'.
It received mixed reviews, landing on a 63% Rotten Tomatoes score. In comparison, Ragnarok's is 93%.
Hemsworth is set to reprise the role of Thor in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and judging by his pre-Avatar teaser, he won't be the only one returning. India Rose, his real-life daughter, will also be seen as Thor's daughter Love in the superhero flick.
